(In my defense, the song was quick-n-dirty, and although I stand by the lyrics, doing it to the tune of Wish You Were Here was a mistake because it’s a low energy song. So I absolved the guys via email of any guilt for not using what I called an “endless dirge” on an ongoing basis. -Darryl)

The answer is….Alice in Wonderland.

No winner.
