Cover art for Mr. White Keys lyrics by Cherry Poppin Daddies

I never thought about the correlation between playing only the white keys on the piano (it's all in one key, so no wrong notes) and taking the "easy path"in the life--makes sense, though.

I like the jabs at Mr. White Keys' hypocrisy, too: "Pontificates on rackets": i.e., says cheating people out of money is bad! "And cheats on his wife with his pal's": but he has no compunctions about cheating if he can get away with it.
