Colin Chameleon

Recent posts here on Colin Powell remind of "Chameleon", a Fugs song about the Vicar of Bray.
From the liner notes
The English clergy are paid by the state as well they should be. The Vicar of Bray was the legendary most famous survivor of that system. He served under Charles II, James II, William III, Queen Anne and George the First. And he of course changed his belief with every succession, to that of his new monarch, which was no more than right. And so he was successively Catholic, Anglican, High Church, Low Church, Establishment, Disestablishment, and then Antidisestablishment … And he was Tory, Whig & Jew … No, that can’t be right … At any rate here is our song dedicated to him and his many disciples timewide/worldwide.
Sample lyric
In the winter, I’m a Buddhist
In the summer, I’m a nudist
In Jerusalem Talmudist
In Hell-Fire Club the crudest
Chameleon, chameleon
In the summer, I’m a nudist
In Jerusalem Talmudist
In Hell-Fire Club the crudest
Chameleon, chameleon
The Vicar of Bray, wherever he may be, smiles in approval. You have learned well, Colin.
