I always liked that old Husker Du song, . . .

There's always the song about the courageous
African-American worker who leads an
oppressed minority community to victorious
armed struggle against a coalition of robber
barons, bandits, and other lumpen elements.
In the process, questions of gender, disability,
and social exclusion achieve social transformation.

Of course I'm referring to Blazing Saddles, as sung
by Frankie Laine.
