I love it!
I have been trying to find a good version of “Simple Little System”, as it was so clever and cool, but there seems to be only one, by the Boston Conservatory, and doesn’t do the song justice.
The premise is unique...a bunch of bookies are using an answering service to book horses, but they are pretending to be a Classical Music Record Company. The Composers are secretly encoded as the various racetracks:
Who is Beethoven? (Belmont park!)
Where’s Puccini? (Pimlico!)
Who is Humperdink? (Hollywood!)
(The chorus rises to a crescendo singing:)
WHO is Handel? Hialeah! Hialeah! (to the tune of the Hallelujah Chorus) LOL.
I remember singing this song to my fourth grade class, and everyone was totally dumbfounded.
I’ve been weird for a long, long time.
