City of New Orleans, Arlo Guthrie

[JohnnyRingo]

5. Ex-Lax nearly ruined this anthem for me.

In fact, I was reluctant to click for fear it would trigger thoughts of taking a steaming trump. As it turned out, I must finally be getting over it because it was great to hear this extended version. Thanx for posting.

Some years ago, about the time the heirs of the songwriter would have inherited the copyright, it got heavy rotation in a commercial for the laxative. Actually, not the whole song, just the refrain "good morning America" sung over & over as some septuagenarian flung open a window with a broad smile, knowing he or she would soon be successful in pinching a loaf. The background melody continued to play throughout the spot.

I still haven't forgiven The Cowsils for selling out to Big Moo.
