Janet Reno CD in stores now
Published: 18, 2007 at 8:20 PM

KENDALL, Fla., 18 (UPI) -- A three-CD album of historical songs from former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno debuted Tuesday.

"Song of America," a 50-tune "history book'" that Reno helped shepherd, is in stores now, the Miami Herald has reported.

Reno is listed as an executive producer on the collection, which starts in 1492 with "Lakota Dream Song" and spans 25 eras of U.S. history, concluding with "Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning," a song about the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

Reno said it all began when she heard her niece's musician husband, Ed Pettersen, play two history-inspired songs he had written.

"I was sitting there doing some work,'" Reno recalled. "And then I found I was listening to him and this song -- I couldn't figure out what it was about. When he told me, it came alive.'"

1. Where were you, when they built a ladder to heaven?

Plot

The boys won an all-you-can-grab candy prize. Yet they realize that they gave the ticket to Kenny to hold on to before he died. Upon visiting Kenny's house, the boys find out that Kenny was cremated. Not understanding what this means, the boys hope to find the ticket in the urn that Kenny's parents say he is now in. They steal the urn and are disappointed to find it only contains black powder. Cartman assumes it must be some kind of chocolate milk powder. He mixes the ashes with milk and drinks Kenny.

The boys decide to build a ladder to heaven to find Kenny so he can tell them where the ticket is. The adults, who only know that the boys want to see their dead friend again, are touched by their concern for their friend. The whole country gets involved in supporting the ladder to heaven. When the boys announce that they had run out of stuff to build the ladder, the adults consider telling them the truth that they're not actually going to reach heaven. Yet just then the military arrives and starts to build a reinforced tower in order to beat the Japanese to heaven.

“Ladder to Heaven” Lyrics

Once the boys gain national media attention by building the ladder to heaven, country singer Alan Jackson shows up, singing a song he wrote about the ladder. As noted in the episode, Jackson wrote a song called “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)” about 9/11, and the song he performs, “Where Were You When They Built the Ladder to Heaven,” is a parody. The parody song’s lyrics are:

Where were you when they built the ladder to heaven?
Did it make you feel like cryin’
Or did you think it was kinda gay?
Well I, for one, believe in the ladder to heaven.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah... 9/11.
I said 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, Ni-hi, hi-hine...
...Eleven

Following this verse of the song, Alan Jackson announces that he is selling all of his 9/11 songs on a CD. As bystanders flock to him and buy his music, Jackson can visibly be seen masturbating.
