Deteriorata!

How is it that my whole entire life, I had never come across this song before?

How true doth ring every line; how perfectly Deteriorata describes my philosophy, my cynical world-view, and (most) everything that I hold dear. A manifesto for my ages and I'd never even heard of it until tonight!

Although, I'm not sure that Bothwell would agree that he is finally getting enough cheese.

Y,

I love it. I haven't heard this since high school. Thanks.

It's more beautiful knowing the (urp--glurk) poem it mocks. But I'm sure you've already done the research.

There's even an urban legend surrounding the "Desidera of Happiness."

Nice pages, this Police Gazette.

Thanks for the link! Tho' I knew about The Desidera, the poem which our little ditty mocks, I didn't realize it was a complete Snopesy make-up. Even more reason to mock it!
