We don't agree on politics, however we are certainly in agreement that this song absolutely rocks.

I propose the United Nations adopt this as the new Global anthem.

I remember a road trip that involved a concetrated effort to memorize the entire theme song from animaniacs. Then we realized there was more that one version, and the process got more complex. This seems another level of complexity, still.
