The baby came down with a fever
We gave her some chloroquine.
Now we're sitting here waitng,
Stuck in this damn quarantine...

Quarantine, stay nice and clean
You'll be ok if you take chloroquine.

the time stamp. That'd hold up in any court. But if you're planning on a parody of Shaving Cream then you need to contact whoever holds the copyright to it and make a deal since if you proceed without
a deal it's an instant court case you'll lose. (I learned this by reading about how Weird Al Yankovic works and the fact that Check Berry sued Brian Wilson and The each Boys years ago for breach of
copyright and won.) So what's the plan?

I hold the copyright to quite a few songs that I wrote, words and music, songs you never heard but
they're mine. Copyright is a pretty simple, straightforward process to apply: provide a request on an
approved application (get applications from The Copyright Office) with text or a cassette/CD/DVD audio recording for music. It sounds pretty involved but it's not.

But now that I think about it that does detract from the simple pleasure of creating something... Thanks for giving me some inspiration...

home town. They always sang this song at parties when they were drunk. I had no idea it was such a classic! Thanks! Kind of brings me back.

Being sung at large gatherings where the alcohol was flowing.

Still hear it every now and then.

An audience is usually quick to join in the chorus.

Fun song.
