I remember a cartoon character — probably in a printed cartoon, not a video cartoon — singing a parody version of “Home on the Range” that goes like this:<\/p>\n
Oh give me a home where the butterflies roam
\nAnd the dear little cantaloupes play
\nWhere seldom is heard a discouraging bird
\nAnd the flies are not crowded all day.<\/p>\n
Searching the Web for the first and second lines, using two different search engines, resulted in nothing. Although I did find a video with Bugs Bunny singing a different parody:<\/p>\n
Oh give me a home where the millionaires roam
\nAnd the oil and the cattlemen play
\nWith their gushing oil wells and their super hotels,
\nAnd they count up their money all day.<\/p>\n
I know I did not make up the first parody myself. Will I remember where it came from? Will it ever appear on the Web? (Do I really care?) Such is the peculiar anguish of this point of development of the Information Age, when we realize that not all knowledge is available on via the Internet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
