Written in 2004 by Mitch Benn. Seemed funny then, when Bush had won a second term.

There's no there there, Hoo.

No such web address exists.

If I had so much as one or two words from the title or the song itself, I could Google it.

I keep running into references to breakups, vaccination, the BBC, etc.

That's twice in one week that clip has surfaced - here yesterday and on Az's blog on Wednesday.

And I only rewatched Cabaret last week, so these things really do come in threes.

That's quite a chilling scene, they're all so happy and passionate and proud smiley - yikes

Deb smiley - cheerup

At the time, they had no reason not to be....

Remember this takes place even before Germany marches into the Rhineland. I know it's hard, but you need to remember not to apply 20/20 hindsight.

I'm not sure, but it might even be before the German Parliament was disbanded.
