Specifically the lyrics edited out below.

___________ Cotton-Eye Joe
I'd been married long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

I looked it up to check it was what I thought. And for the first time ever, I actually did know the lyrics to a song.

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I'd been married long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

Obscure and incoherant lyrics are one of my multiple useless talents.

It's a gift and a curse.

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe, Fanboy’s mother wouldn’t have gone to the World Trade Center that day.

I have just had a weird concern wash over me that for the past 15 years it has just me and one other person with hundreds of alt accounts on this forum.

Then again, if I was in The Matrix I would have taken "the blue pill" without batting an eyelid. I would probably have taken two.
