Louise Homer - "Flee as a bird" - Japanese folk-song ?

Frank, don't do that to me on a Monday morning, or I'll have to come back with some of my own juvenalia. Who could forget the immortal "Spots Over China, " by Who Flung Glue? Or "Under the Stands,' by Seymour Butts (OK, "Butz" around here). And then there's "Yellow River," by I.P. Freely.

As for song titles, we can't leave out Glen Miller's "In the Nude."

See what you started?

I can't take you kids anywhere. If you're not careful I'll exile you to "Pun Central" aka the 78-l message board . Then you'll be sorry .
