The game is afoot afoot afoot.
I had a four-dimensional game plan and I wanted to run this guy through the game. Each panel would show four views like this. This is as far as I got, though. It was time-prohibitive as I didn't have the tools to do the kind of modeling I wanted. Maybe someday he'll get his chance to get out of that little qoob.
Not sure, but I think this was all done in-computer. With a mouse or trackball and an old low-res CRT. Those were the days!

Why? Because I had these two partial video recordings of this song, so I stitched them together. (Roughly. The audio change is rather obvious, even besides the sudden change of my hair and shirt). Then I overlaid them with silliness, as befits this goofy old song.
Lyrics are not quite the same as in the video. Most notably, I realized that all these years I'd been singing about Francis Scott Keyes, which isn't his name. Appropriate changes followed.
Note to patriots: No, I am not saying America is imperialistic. Not in spirit. But Americans can be, who veer from the American way. That's what this song is about. If anything. It's a one-note joke, see. How can a song titled The Great American Song not be The Great American Song, even if it isn't really The Great American Song? (Which would probably have to be either America the Beautiful or Don McLean's American Pie. Or American Woman by The Guess Who. Just kidding!)
