    Yazoo tribe

    The Yazoo were a tribe of the Native American Tunica people historically located on the lower course of Yazoo River, Mississippi, an area known as the Mississippi Delta. They were closely related to other Tunica-language peoples, especially the Tunica, Koroa, and possibly the Tioux.

    Nothing is definitely known about their language, believed to be related to Tunica, a language isolate. The tribe was documented by French explorers and missionaries. In 1699 Father Antone Davion, of the Quebec Seminary of Foreign Missions in New France (Canada), established a mission among the Tunica. He also reached out to allied tribes, such as the Taensa.

    At this time, the Yazoo like the Chickasaw were under the influence of the English traders from Carolina on the Atlantic coast. In 1702 they aided the Koroa in killing Father Nicholas Foucault and three French companions. The seminary temporarily withdrew Father Davion from the area.

    In 1718 the French established a fort near the village of St. Pierre to command the river. In 1722 the young Jesuit Father Jean Rouel was given the Yazoo mission near the French post. He worked there until the outbreak of the Natchez revolt in 1729. The Yazoo and Koroa joined with the Natchez in attacking the French, in an attempt to drive them out of the region altogether.

    Yazoo (band)

    Yazoo (known as Yaz in North America for legal reasons with Yazoo Records) were a British synthpop duo from Basildon, Essex, England, consisting of former Depeche Mode member Vince Clarke (keyboards) and Alison Moyet (vocals). Formed in late 1981 after Clarke responded to an advertisement Moyet placed in a UK music magazine, over the next 18 months the duo made two critically acclaimed albums, Upstairs at Eric's and You and Me Both, blending Clarke's synthesizer melodies with Moyet's blues- and soul-influenced vocals. Yazoo enjoyed worldwide success, particularly in their home country where three of their four singles reached the top three of the UK Singles Chart and both their albums made the top two of the albums chart. In North America they are best known for the song "Situation", originally only a B-side in the UK but which was a club and airplay hit in the US and Canada before being released as the band's debut single in North America.

    Despite their success, the duo split acrimoniously in the spring of 1983 due to a combination of Clarke's reluctance to make more records under the Yazoo name, a clash of personalities, and a lack of communication between the pair. Clarke went on to form Erasure, another successful and longer-lasting synthpop duo, while Moyet embarked on a highly successful solo career. Although their musical career was short, Yazoo's combination of electronic instrumentation and soulful female vocals has been cited as an influence on the house music scene that emerged in the mid-1980s, as well as bands such as LCD Soundsystem (who name-checked them on their debut single "Losing My Edge"), Hercules and Love Affair (whose leader Andy Butler has said that "Situation" was his biggest musical inspiration as a child),La Roux, Shiny Toy Guns and Blaqk Audio.

    How many times can you put me down
    'Til in your heart you realize,
    If you choose to criticize
    You choose your enemies
    Everything that I say and do
    In your eyes is always wrong,
    Tell me where do I belong
    In a sick society
    You're no different to me yeah
    You're no different,
    No different to me
    Look at yourself instead of looking at me
    With accusation in your eyes,
    Do you want me crucified for my profanity
    Concealing your crimes behind a Grandeur of lies
    Tell me where do I begin
    If you think you're without sin
    Be the first to cast the stone
    You're no different to me yeah
    You're no different, no different to me
    You're no different to me yeah
    You're no different, no different to me
    Can't you see, can't you see
    You're no different to me
    Won't you see, won't you see
    You're no different to me
    Living my life in a way that I choose
    You say I should apologize,
    Is that envy in your eyes
    Reflecting jealousy
    Tell me the truth and I'll admit to my guilt
    If you'll try and understand,
