Song of the Day, 6/16/03

[Bob Schroeck]

Y'know, I had never realized how -long- this was before now.

---

Yeah, there's a lot going on in that song. 'S one of the things that makes it so much fun.

---

And, of course, the simple notes "spoken" and "sung" fail to note all the funky sound effects... for instance, "POPPIES!" reverbs into nothing in an echo effect... but that said, this is a very cool song.

---

I'd debated myself on how much footnoting I wanted to do, but in the end I decided the most detail I'd go into was the note about the John Wayne voice. I'll just say to the folks who've never heard it that they should simply go and find a copy. This is a classic piece of work.
