Backward Baritone Shiites
 
 
They sure as shootin' wouldn't be singing Sweet Adonai, but Muslims could harmonize allah a Berber Shop Quartet.
 
"Cut this [prophet] into you and me
Burn it backwards, kill this history
 
It's a picture-perfect evening and I'm staring down the sun
Fully loaded, deaf and dumb and done
Waiting for sedation to disconnect my head
Or any situation where I'm better off than dead"
 
Islam is the disease, but I've got the Cure:
 
"I can turn
And walk away
Or I can fire the gun
Staring at the sky
Staring at the sun
Whichever I chose
It amounts to the same
Absolutely nothing
 
I'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an Arab"

Alexandria
Adlestrop
Port Selda

On the whole, I'd rather listen to Carmen Miranda (And as the piece was taken from the CS Monitor, to the Mary Seacole de nos jours and  fine Christian Scientist        Carol Channing
