Peter, I have never heard Huddie sing it but the first time I actually listened to the verses at all I was blown away and have had a hard time joining fully into the jolly camaradarie of singing it as a closing song after a joyful night of singing, as was the tradition with one group I used to sing with. That is, I join fully aware of the irony of the song, and the darkness that can lurk behind the mask of "everything's fine."
