Kudos, William!

It's funny and likeable.  I wonder
if it'd be more singable if the syllabic
structure were a tad more like the
archtype; but, that's another issue,
unless someone wants to record it.
Hmm, throw an MP3 on the web, then
see if we could /. it; might be a Good
Thing(tm)....

Which makes me wonder ... maybe
I should fire up the sequencer and
give it a go.  I've never tried to
imitate Paul  ;-)
