Thank you very much

Alright
We have a song now that we did as an encore for the last show
But it works just as well in the middle of the program
It's a topical tune
It has something to do with that subject
That we all know and love
The Watergate hearings
And the attendant bullshit that goes along with it
The name of the song is "The San Clemente Magnetic Deviation"
And I'll tell you a little bit about the history of the tune right now
Not that you always wanted to know, but, there's
There's a mysterious thing that happens
When you fly in the airplane, you see
They're called the magnetic deviations
And the, uh, I forgot what the name of the federal agency
Is that regulates all that stuff
But they send out bulletins to pilots
That tell 'em where these magnetic deviations are
And on the map, this, this is true, folks
A little information for ya
On the map it shows areas where if you fly through it in the plane
Shut the fuck up, you little geek!
ย
If you fly through these areas in a plane
It will cause your compass to deviate
More than five degrees thereby making it hard to navigate
So, they have just informed the pilots recently
That over San Clemente they have
Two or three more of these areas have just popped up
Of extreme magnetic deviation
Now isn't that quaint?
There you have it, folks
Here's the song
Happy Halloween
