Wake the Fuck Up, part II of V

[Elder Iptuous]

Awesome.

Why the hell didn't I learn this in sch- Ah nevermind, sort of figured that out myself.

they never mentioned Casey Jones in elementary school?
heck, there's even a Disney short on it... (not as good a telling as the good Dok's here, though)

Disney totally cut out the part about the U Boat.

I remember as a child hearing a song about Casey Jones.

Same here, but sometime in the late 70s, that stuff all sort of vanished, along with all the Western stuff and most of the WWI & WWII mythology.

Sad, isn't it? I used to love The Kingston Trio.

Well, we're friends with Germany, now.  We don't want people thinking about the world wars, or them torpedoing our trains.  It's bad for business.

Run Rabbit Run
Words & Music by: Noel Gay and Ralph Butler.

Run Rabbit Run was a popular song during World War II, especially after Flanagan and Allen changed the lyrics to poke fun at the Germans (eg. Run Adolf, Run Adolf, Run, Run, Run........)

On the farm, every Friday
On the farm, it's rabbit pie day.
So, every Friday that ever comes along,
I get up early and sing this little song

Run rabbit - run rabbit -
Run! Run! Run!
Run rabbit - run rabbit -
Run! Run! Run!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Goes the farmer's gun.
Run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run.
Run rabbit - run rabbit -
Run! Run! Run!
Don't give the farmer his fun!
Fun! Fun!
He'll get by without his rabbit pie
So run rabbit - run rabbit -
Run! Run! Run!

Run Adolf, Run Adolf, Run, Run, Run,
Now that the fun has begun, gun, gun;
P'raps you'll just allow us to explain,
What we did once, - we can do again.
We're making shells by the ton, ton, ton.
We've got the men and the mon, mon, mon.
Poor old soul, - you'll need a rabbit-hole, -
So, run Adolf, run Adolf, run, run, run.

[Doktor Howl]

Elton John did a kickass cover of that song.  The original version.

Seems Casey took what my grandfather said seriously:

If you are early, you are on time
If you are on time, you are late
If you are late, you might as well not show up

Charley, good song, by the way. Lost my copy when my truck went
walkabout some while back.

I posted the wikipedia link on facebook and the first comment I got was "it didn't say he was high on cocaine".

Disney totally cut out the part about the U Boat.

They also showed him surviving the wreck.  which is odd, since they had no compunction from killing off John Henry in his little short...

WAT?

The whole thing that makes him glorious is that he got himself killed saving his passengers.

Oh yeah... there were no passengers on his train in the Disney version.  just mail.
they really screwed the pooch didn't they?
