Underwire Reports Vaguely Neutral Things About Us
Submitted by Republibot 1.0 on Sun, 05/31/2009 - 10:41Imagine our surprise waking up this morning and seeing an article on Wired.com about our lovely little conservative home on the ansible here.

This is a quick little novelty song - one of literally hundreds - that came out in 1957/1958 after the Soviets launched Sputnik.
It's kind of amazing to me that even a little written-in-ten-minutes blow off song like this is great when it's by Swing and Vegas legend Louis Prima. The man could sing the phone book, and make it great. Then he'd give Keely some harmonies to sing, and it'd be greater still!
Crazy, man!
