A few years ago I've seen Lebocha at Castlefest (an unknown Belgian band that I can't even find decent recordings of online). They covered the James Bond theme and they did so pretty awesome while still remaining folky (glad I bought their CD back then)!
But I don't like this song for its fine musicianship or its originality. I just like it because it makes me smile (and it's still better than most folk I've heard)
I can sing along to the lyrics and I can do a little folk dance to it while making breakfast.
When I want some technical prowess I'll put on other music (preferably not folk)

Yes, 'replace' was a bad choice of words. Indeed I'm hoping to see them at Sidmouth as it's just a quick bus ride away.

And your solution missed out the ice and Tonic.

Ice and tonic would dilute the Gin: we are already down to 6/7ths Gin, 1/7th Lemon, and I'm pretty sure 4/7ths gin is far, far too low a concentration for drinkability.

I was worried Trump's little palm might be too obtuse; it was.
One of the States won by The Duck this week was South Carolina [SC] -> The Palmetto State -> Palmetto is aka Little Palm.

Probably totally clear, unless you live outside South Carolina...

This time we're the lesser evils
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

In line with what you are saying, I will ask people to consider the following:
with a population of 370 Million to choose from, don't you think we could do better than this?

I thought it was a slide as in water parks was amazed that it is so cheap. Then, clicked on the link and was disappointed. I am sure there are many who would pay for this thrill.

Maybe, but being terrified of heights, there's no way I'm going to do that.
Actually, I'll save myself $32, because I'm considering NOT using it FOUR times in a row!
