I’ve been messing around in the studio and this sort of came out as a comment on certain well known religious cultists. For the ignorant, Flanders and Swann were noted purveyors of comic songs in the fifties and sixties. The piano part was reconstructed on my faithful midi Steinway and the applause lifted from the original recording. If you like it link to it and tell your friends!
Jon, there was a thread about songs written or modified by new atheists on a blog that I looked at, and I took the liberty of posting a link to your song. There is now a post over there linking to your song.

For Yanks or others like me who didn’t know the original song, there’s the Muppet version at the link above.
Why, thanks! To think my little hump has come to the attention of James McGrath… and he even thinks I’m a musician!
Given the degree of colonial ignorance about Flanders and Swann, here’s a link to the original original, so you can see just how well I’ve failed to capture Michael Flanders’ mannerisms: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPgo6s1lBbw
And while I’m at it, to exacerbate the xenophobic remarks above, a live video of another song of theirs, recorded in America, I think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vh-wEXvdW8.
