Ah -- now I see what Tom Lehrer was satirising in the following lines.
Remember the war against Franco?
That's the kind where each of us belongs.
Though he may have won all the battles,
We had all the good songs!
So join in the Folk Song Army,
Guitars are the weapons we bring
To the fight against poverty, war, and injustice.
Ready! Aim! Sing!
-- Tom Lehrer, The Folk Song Army The pontification continues at Nutters.org [nutters.org].
