You may be one of thousands PT, but I’m one of the idiots who completely forgot about this great classic. Awesome!

Posted by maryisidra | December 21, 2012, 10:20 am MDTEverything new is old again. Or something. Here’s a similar earworm I never got rid of:
Posted by Jim Wheeler | December 22, 2012, 8:16 am MDTWow, you sure kicked off the memories with this one! I loved the Kingston Trio. Had all their albums at some point . 6 or 7. I was very into folk music. Really made my bones creak to hear them say this song was written in 1950-something. Can it really have been that long ago?
Posted by PiedType | December 22, 2012, 8:44 am MDTIt was 1949, PT, and did you catch the comment about after the end of the song? “Due to our consistent foreign policy, we haven’t had to change the lyrics.” That was more prophetic than he ever knew, eh?
Posted by Jim Wheeler | December 22, 2012, 9:36 am MDTIndeed. I rarely think of the song without noting that most of it is still true. Sad. And I generally think of folk music as a ’60s thing. Pushing it back to the ’50s or even ’40s make me very … old.
