While driving through the snow from Syracuse to Oswego I heard some one with a great Bass voice singing.

"You're a mean one Mr. Grinch"

And the tune suddenly seemed real similar to me and I started to sing:

"......Comuter that was built by a computer, you're and android and a danger to the human race...."

No if "My Sweer Lord" is a rip of "He's So Fine" the similarity to these two songs must mean big bucks for someone. The question is who? Whom?

Hi Willie,

Its a song called "The Android" I believe and it was about Margaret Thatcher. I heard it a few years ago and I have it on tape.
