My complaining man -- Haroula Lambrakis & Vassilis Tsitsanis -- Ο παραπονιάρης μου -- Χαρούλα Λαμπράκη & Βασίλης Τσιτσάνης

 I have no actual knowledge of the realities of the 1960's taverna scene, but it seems, from viewing lots of videos, that for each joyless watering hole where tormented souls go to dance the zembekiko, there is a sister establishment where everyone is giddy and there are streamers, balloons, and a general air of joyfulness.  While this particular spot lacks balloons, it makes up for it in streamers, dancers and confetti.

The chorus of the song, if Google is to be trusted, goes something like this --I'm going to escape from prison, I'm going to go enjoy life a little.  The lyrics are all about domestic issues so I think it is relationship song, not a jail song.

Vassilis Tsitsanis, who had a law degree, was one of the giants of rebetika and laika.  He composed, performed and recorded copiously and is still celebrated and revered.
