Interesting question Bob, I can figure out what's not PC about
some of these songs---
"Two, two lilly-white boys...."
"Now 49 kids all call me Paw...."
"Strummin' on de ole banjo..."
-----I just can't figure out the problem with "The Happy
Wanderer". Maybe someone thought it was a Wehrmacht marching song
or something.
