The P.U.D.D.I.N.G. Anthem
Ormondroyd Started conversation Mar 23, 2003
Fellow curmudgeons, malcontents, naysayers and grouches,
With so much annoyingly happy music in the world, I thought it was time for we in PUDDING to hit back with our very own song. To that end, I have commandeered the tune of what is surely one of the most annoying ditties ever written - Bobby McFerrin's 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' 
- and begun work on a PUDDING Anthem.
So far, I've come up with three verses. That's one more than Mr McFerrin managed, so the superior power of grumpiness has already been demonstrated. But I'd like your input! Can you come up with some further inspirational verses?
Please take a look at the work-in-progress on A1005193, and let me know if inspiration strikes.

Excellent!
Of course, for more regal affairs, one could change the American(?) national anthem:
"OH say can you frown..."

I thought of the following verse...
'Someone goes and starts a war,
Don't know what they're fighting for,
Don't cheer up, be grumpy.
PM seems to have a crush,
Always sucking up to Bush,
Don't cheer up,be grumpy'
...but I thought it might get censored.
Let's find out together, shall we?

Indeed 'tis. How long do you think we've got before someone's gonna have to memorise it and post it somewhere else?

I've now written another couple of verses and sent the Anthem to 
for publication.
