Movie Song of the Week: “Freedonia Hymn”

I sincerely doubt that our current President-elect has anything in common with Duck Soup's Rufus T. Firefly but hey, one should never resist the opportunity to sample classic Groucho.

Besides, it's hard to read the news nowadays and pretend that all that much has changed since 1933 (the year Duck Soup came out). Apart from the abolition of Jim Crow and the election of an African-American President, of course.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the song.

Movie Quote of the Week

The last man nearly ruined this place,
He didn't know what to do with it.
If you think this country's bad off now,
Just wait 'til I get through with it.
--Groucho Marx, Duck Soup (1933)
