I'll stand so that I can fart.

But then I'll sit down again.

I thought "It's a Small World" was the UN anthem.

Or how about Jim Quinn's "Peace Heads-Up" theme:

I'd like to buy the world a home
And furnish it with love...

Problem is, if I get that song stuck in my head, it makes me want to drink a Coke!

Let's make the "Star Spangled Banner" the world Anthem!!

"We envision students from the world over translating 'The World Anthem' into their own languages, performing it at public events and taking part in an in-depth, web-enabled cultural exchange designed to increase cultural and international understanding," Goodman said.

Actually, Goodman probably envisions the World Anthem sung in one language, composed of the 'common tones' and 'linguistic tendencies' of all the nations languages.

Then he wants to start work on "Tower of Babel II".

Open a window once in awhile? You bet. Especially when it's the Fartolino Think Tank and everyone is making a contribution.

I Rise for 'The World Anthem', and move to the great white throne so that I may give this subject all the consideration it so richly deserves.

Well, OK, I guess I'll have to buy one. My Stormtroopers of Death album is getting so worn I can hardly make out the words to "Speak English Or Die" anymore...
