15 Mar 00 - 05:27 AM (#195246) Subject: music from The Simpsons? From: GUEST,Thomas Larsson-Almberg I saw an episode of the Simpsons the other night, and I would like to find out more about one song that was played in that episode. It was a song that Lisa Simpson was singing when there was a strike at the power plant where Homer was working. I don't know the exakt words, and I suppose that the lyrics were altered tho fit The Simpson, but I think it is an old union song. The chorus went something like this: "We march day and night, by the*** They've got the plant, but we've got the power" If anyone recognises this song, or perhaps knows someone who might, please contact me at thomas_almberg@hotmail.com Kind regards Thomas |

21 Jul 03 - 02:43 PM (#987602) Subject: RE: music from The Simpsons? From: clueless don GUEST,Tracey Dragonsfriend, you recalled a song with an original ending of "they have the guns, but we have the power." That reminds me of an old song, "Five to One", by the Doors, which had a line something like "they've got the guns, but we've got the numbers." Any chance that that's what you're remembering? |
