I’d like to hear Bing Crosby singing “I’m a Cranky old yank, in my clanky old tank, on the streets of Yokohama with my Honolulu mama, singin’ those beat-o, beat-o, flat on my seat-o, Hirohito Blues,” written by the inimitable Hoagy Carmichael. Failing that, I’ll settle for “Charlton Heston Put His Vest On” by Stump. ---
