Sorry to keep pimping my 'cast, but I'm not going to rest until everyone hears the lovely and talented SarahK sing the national anthem - including the fourth stanza at the end of our Independence Day podcast (I've never heard any other stanza than the first sung).

All that, and quality funny in between.

Would that be the original (http://ingeb.org/songs/toanacre.html) 4th stanza? :?

Apollo rose up and said, "Prythee ne'er quarrel,
Good king of the gods, with my votaries below
Your thunder is useless - then showing his laurel,
Cried, Sic evitabile fulmen, you know!
Then over each head my laurels I'll spread,
So my sons from your crackers no mischief shall dread
Whilst snug in their club-room, they jovially twine
The myrtle of Venus and Bacchus's vine.

Nah, that's just where we stole the catchy tune for the U.S. National Anthem from.

Sarah sang her butt off...nice job. The show was really great this week as usual.

So, if you hit number one, spacemonkey dies, right?
