Bob, Wes,
I'm with you guys on this one. Changing Gordon's lyrics is like walking up to a Van Gogh with a Magic Marker Pen and saying, "No that's not right, this should go like this and like that", while they mark the thing up.
Changing "navies" to "plowboys" reminds me of the time I was at the video store and picked-up "Twelve Monkeys" and this lady and her husband said, "Oh, that's a tough movie to follow." I rented it anyway, and all the way thru it, I'm thinking, "What's so hard to follow here?" Please no offense, but it seems that people just want things too ease these days. If you don't know what a word means, go get a dictionary.
Changing lines like, "High steppin' strutters who land in the gutter", and "...for the good of us all" is to me, an affront. While we're at it, let's change the words to "Oh, Canada" and "The Star Spangled Banner."
Rob
