Nice job, Poet! :hooray:

As you may know, Of Thee I Sing was the first musical to win a Pulitzer Prize as "best play." I've read the script, and it's terrific, but the jokes are extremely dated now, and if it were staged, it would as a reminder of times gone by. The music by those incomparable brothers is great.

I don't know if the original cast was ever recorded, but here's a version of "Wintergreen for President":

Wintergreen For President - Robert Shaw Chorale (From 'Of Thee I Sing').avi - YouTube

...and continuing on this hair-raising topic...

TOLL HEADUP / BAINS TROMPÉES / LES HIJINKES
- episode name / character / TV series
- the episode name is a hairpiece-related pun
- the hair is related, in a ghoulish way, to this character
- the character isn't a major character in the show, but he's a regular, and his voice is provided by one of the principal cast members :)
