1. That is one elderly earworm

My 10 seconds of 'research' says 1954. Does that sound about right?

I grew up listening to Broadway musicals!

4. Oooo, I think I hate you. Just reading your title got me stuck!

Are you some RW troll trying to drive the DUers crazy? Just kidding, but I can't get rid of it now. I'll have to go looking for something to replace it with. Oh, well it could be worse. Or maybe not. I didn't realize it was that old, or perhaps I didn't realize I was that old.

5. I once did a new set of lyrics to that when Francis was elected Pope

Way back, a long, long time ago,
All Popes were Italia-ano,
But now we have a ga-ucho
And Ar-gentina has a Pope. Olé!

The Pole gave one good sermon.
And then came Joe, the German,
The enclave did determine
That Ar-gentina gets a Pope. Olé!

(instrumental line)

Join the crowd so curious and waiting for white smoke

(instrumental line)

“Habemus Papam” means the news can now be broke

(instrumental line)

And all our waiting finally gave way to relief
You now are free…..to order me…… some gaucho beeeeeeef!

So now we leave Saint Peter’s Square
With Francis at the ledge up there
Let C N N and Fox declare
That Ar-gentina has a Pope. Olé!
