OK, what we’re getting now is - yes, they’re saying it was in fact a fire that erupted inside the external tank of the ship, exactly ninety-eight seconds after it entered the asteroid field. No one is sure what caused the fire which led to the massive explosion, killing all twelve crew members and scientists aboard the Space Shuttle Deliverance, taking with them our last and only hope. Once again, if you’re just tuning in, the CSA Space Shuttle Deliverance has been destroyed. The final mission to save mankind has failed. The 70-mile wide asteroid known commonly as “Matilda” is set to collide with Earth in exactly three weeks time, and we’ll be bringing you up-to-the-minute coverage of our countdown to the ‘End of Days’, along with _all_ your classic rock favorites. This is Q107.2

_Wow! There’ll be spectacle  
There’ll be fantasy  
There’ll be derring do  
And stuff like you would never see  
Hey! A movie!  
Yeah! We’re gonna be a movie!  
Starring everybody… and me!  
There’ll be heroes bold!  
There’ll be comedy!  
And a lot of fuss  
That ends for us real happily  
Hey! A movie!  
We can watch it all develop!  
Starring everybody… and me!_

Well we’re living here in Allentown  
And they’re closing all the factories down  
Out in Bethlehem they’re killing time  
Filling out forms, standing in line  
Well our fathers fought the Second World War  
Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore  
Met our mothers in the USO  
Asked them to dance, danced with them slow  
And we’re living here in Allentown
