Some Guy Extraordinaire

Worried Man (popularized by the Kingston Trio) and This Little Light of Mine are nearly the same , musically, in much of their length. This obviously leads to a in which both songs get sung. The natural way of doing this would be a , with a man singing the Worried Man parts and a woman the This Little Light parts.

Pretty sure "worry" in the time and context of the original song meant "cheat on one's romantic partner," so Worried Man Blues is about a man who has everything except the exclusive love of his gf/wife.

Logically, then, the woman should sing her "This little light" parts as if sharing her "light" meant sharing her affections and body with other men, gleefully and cheerfully. Lots of flirting. Salaciousness. Spice.

Worried man, merry woman.

There is no need to discuss this; it's clear this is the only direction this could go. I banged it out for a minute on guitar and have confirmed that I am right.
