Yep. Great song.

My granddaughter tells of a time in high school, when a teacher used the lyrics of this song to teach recent history. She got a good number right but had no clue about "children of thalidomide". When I told her about thalidomide babies of the 50s and 60s she was sort of shocked. Unknown history to her. Part of the lives of most Villagers.
