Fugue for the Tinhorns from Guys and Dolls: I’ve got a horse right here, The name is Paul Revere And here’s a guy that says that the weather’s clear Can do, can do, this guy says the horse can do If he says the horse can do, can do, can do. I have no idea why, the only thing I can come up with is all the recent coverage of the Queen at the Kentucky Derby. Maybe my brain is having fun with the idea that she broke out into song while placing her bets. Or not. ---

Well, now that I’ve read the thread, it’s a duel between “Puttin’ on the Ritz” and “Mahna Mahna”. The “do” parts of the latter blend surprisingly well with the synthesizer in the former. ---

Probably because I wanted to submit it to the other thread about “what song most represents the 70s” but never did, for the past few days the song _More More More_ has been running through my head. More more more How do you like it, how do you like it Ooooh… How do you like your love? Aaaggh! ---
