...former colonial overlord. One of his first acts as Prime Minister was to begin still another search for a new song more befitting "our national aspirations." Although the government offered a prize of $14,850 to the winner, none of the thousands of entries was thought worthy of a kangaroo lullaby, let alone a national anthem. In desperation, the government turned to three golden oldies: Song...
...beautiful love/hate relationship. The South did not let Alvin into the world without leaving its stamp on the boy; he may lack Charles's sense of the Barnumesque, but his candor is just as notorious. I give the first round to Charles just for getting Alvin to step into Kangaroo shoes. But the last laugh is on Charles too: even Alvin's presence don't make the A's more than a dark horse to take the Orioles for the pennant...
When you come right down to it, the CRR is just a kangaroo court where the Faculty can try people it dislikes according to rules that let it convict whenever it wants to.

Three of the classic skits from that show are being reprised in Good Evening. There is the one-legged actor who, hopping across the floor kangaroo-fashion, applies to a producer for the role of Tarzan. Moore, who is also an adept pianist, parodies half a dozen great composers as they might have written the Colonel Bogey March, and Cook does his lugubriously farcical monologue about the miner who dreamed of becoming a judge. A good Good...
