reallyhuman, really? It sounds like you haven't even heard the song. It is one of my favorite 10K Maniacs songs, especially because the gruesome lyrics are sung in such an upbeat manner. I guess the title is a bit silly though...
I love the final ad-libbed line too; it really captures the insanity of WWI.
I agree - this is a great song. Definitely the best on Hope Chest. And to take the lyrics from a poet that many would not have ever heard of otherwise, is from "killing" it.
