Yes to these and one that I can't get out of my head now. Jingle bells Batman smells 50 miles away! Joker died Riddler cried and Robin flew away!!

Absolutely delightful, Greg! Thank you. And yes, the image of marching over the prone bodies of the ‪#Mangowanker‬ cabal to this song, and maybe back again, long after their screams have ceased, is stirring now in my breast. 😊

I loved choir. I didnt realize how unifying it really was until i realized my kids did/do not know any holiday "standards." i am pretty much a pagan now but gospel music still makes me cry.

Love it. Re: school version, I have a non-100% memory of the chorus as something like Glory, glory, Hallelujah, Teacher hit me with a ruler, Smacked her in the eye With a rotten apple pie, Our truth is marching on. (or something like that)

Oh, Greg, this was really great! Does feel like we're uniting strong against a poor man's Stalin (or a much dumber, more hubristic Mussolini - - and that's really sayin' sumpthin'! 🤣). Like everyone else fighting this good Blue fight, I want to see #MoscowMitch & his Senate cabal go down in flames, too. Had those venal, calculating CROOKS done their jobs, these past 3.5 years might not have felt like 3.5 decades. And I cannot WAIT to witness President Biden grind putin's smirk under his heel right into the dust. Let the sanctions rain down! Find the russkie spies residing in this country & ship 'em back...

My dad said back in the 60's he thought Battle Hymn should be our national anthem.
