Go Limp
"Go Limp" is the penultimate track on Nina Simone's 1964 album ''Nina Simone in Concert'', and is an adaptation of a protest song originally written by Alex Comfort during his involvement with the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.〔''The Best of Broadside 1962-1998: Anthems of the American Underground From the Pages of Broadside Magazine'' (Washington, DC: Smithsonian Folkways Recordings. 2000), 34.〕
The melody is an Irish classic folk song.
==Adaptation==
In adapting Comfort's lyrics for ''In Concert'', Simone made only minor alterations of Comfort’s lyrics to re-situate “Go Limp” within the frame of the American civil rights movement. Crucially, Simone replaces the acronym “CND” with “NAACP” in the second line of the first verse, in which the mother first appeals to her daughter. Thus, “Daughter, dear daughter take warning from me/Now don’t you go marching with the young CND”〔 becomes “Daughter, dear daughter take warning from me/Now don’t you go marching with the NAACP.”〔Simone, Nina Simone In Concert, Phillips, 1964.〕 In both versions, however, the concluding lines of the first verse remain the same: “For they’ll rock you and roll you and shove you into bed/and if they steal your nuclear secret, you’ll wish you were dead.”
