Thread Name: Lyr Req: Der Fuehrer's Face (Spike Jones)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Der Fuehrer's face
Sorry, veering off the subject slightly, Blackcatter's remarks about The Disney Corp's obsessions seem well founded!

I complimented "Paul" of the "Beatles" on their performance at Walt Disney World (UK pavilion) some years ago and he was really embarrassed - I think they had been told to stay in character at all times just as if they had fibreglass heads like Mickey, Donald etc (sorry kids, you had to find out one day).

The brainwashing doesn't work every time. This person shepherding people onto Space Mountain took exception to my Bugs Bunny teeshirt - "Can't allow the opposition on here" he grinned, ho ho ho. I gleefully informed him that it was Brer Rabbit and I'd bought it from their very own gift store 10 minutes previously.

Didn't The Band mention Spike Jones in "Up on Cripple Creek" by the way?
