Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Waterbed Polka (Larry Rand)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Waterbed Polka (Larry Rand)
I think I still have a recording (on cassette!) of a WFMT "Midnight Special" performance of this number . . . complete with a dedication to "the Honorable -- that's a little nickname we give to all our politicians -- the Honorable Roman C. Pucinski . . . a man so beloved on the Nort'west side of Chicaguh that we don't even call him Roman C. Pucinski; we have a special name for him: the Magnetic Nort'west Pole. . . ."

I'll have to look for it now that I've found this -- and learned that I'd misunderstood the title. (I'd always thought that the title ended with the name of the subject/target of the song -- a woman named, however improbably, "Polga". . . .)
