Sorry to keep asking about soundtrack music, but my roomate (the same one)
is now asking for the words to Dr. Suess's 'You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch'
from "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". He's been humming the tune for
a week now, and if I don't get the words figured out soon, who knows
what will happen... (It's finals week...) Heeeelllllppppp.....

Re the Grinch:

FLAME ON!!!!!!
     Those dirty rats at CBS did it again this year!  As a faithful
grinch-watcher for the past 20 or so years, I feel that I must complain
about their cutting out the verse of the You're a Mean One song which
compares the grinch rather unfavorably (after some thought) to a seasick
crocodile (you see, this can fit in net.music).  This is at least the
second straight year those SOGs (G stands for Grinch) have done it.  Speak 
about hearts two sizes too small!  The three words that I think best describe
this situation are, and I quote:

                                 STINK
  
                                   STANK

                                     STUNK!

Those dirty rats at CBS also continued their policy of removing
the Elves Song from "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer".  Thank
goodness I have the soundtrack to listen to.
