[The Cajun]

Unless the levee breaks.

The idiot classic rock station I listen to played *When The Levee Breaks* by Led Zeppelin twice today.

[chemicalman]

Song was stuck in my head all day, and I haven’t heard it on the radio.

Those guys in Butte La Rose are wasting their time. That little hamlet is on the only high ground smack in the middle of the Atchafalaya Swamp. And the ground ain't that high.

This is Butte La Rose. That is the Atchafalaya River a distributary of the Mississippi. This is where the water is diverted so it won't flood Baton Rouge and New Orleans.

Should have played Randy Newman's "Louisiana".

What has happened down here is the wind have changed
Clouds roll in from the north and it start to rain
Rained real hard and rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline

The river rose all day
The river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood
Some people got away alright
The river have busted through clear down to Plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline.

CHORUS
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tyrin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away

President Coolidge came down in a railroad train
With a little fat man with a note-pad in his hand
The President say, "Little fat man isn't it a shame what the river has done
To this poor crackers land.

CHORUS
