Li'l Abner Said it Fifty Years Ago
In keeping with the "Dents in the Carpet" theme, I got thinking (and humming) a song the other day from a lesser-known musical back in the Fifties called "Li'l Abner (based on the comic strip). The song I was looking for was "Put 'em Back the Way They Wuz," since that is a song we may all be singing about some of the CHANGES that may occur in the next four years. I couldn't find that song, but to my surprise, the lyrics of this song below remind us all that the more things CHANGE the more they stay the same. I think that's true because regardless of who's in charge, we're always working with human nature, which tends to be pretty predictable.
(In this scene, Li'l Abner has just returned to Dogpatch from Washington, D.C.)
