Remember the tag on ad with the song Big Sister for the girl version? I can't sing the My Buddy song without belting out Kid Sister and meeeee

If it's the song I think it is, it's from the 1940s.. old show tune? Dr. John & Rickie Lee Jones do a fine version

Don't be a fool! No tradesman is innocent!

Do you not revel in the socialist glory of Mario, the People's Hero? It is a travesty that such a noble man should be made to fight for our freedoms, but in so humbling himself he teaches us all.

...yeah, I need another drink now.
