Marty sez:
Ah, the best! "Nice, Nice, Very Nice" by Ambrosia...which uses direct
quotes from Cat's Cradle, and rightfully gives Vonnegut songwriting credits:
Nice, Nice, Very Nice
(vonnegut jr. - puerta - pack - north - drummond)
Oh a sleeping drunkard up in central park
Or the lion hunter in the jungle dark
Or the chinese dentist or the british queen
They all fit together in the same machine
Nice, nice, very nice
Nice, nice, very nice
So many people in the same device
Oh a whirling dervish and a dancing bear
Or a ginger rogers and a fred astaire
Or a teenage rocker or the girls in france
Yes, we all are partners in this cosmic dance
Nice, nice, very nice
Nice, nice, very nice
So many people in the same device
I wanted all things to make sense
So wed be happy instead of tense
Oh a sleeping drunkard up in central park
Or the lion hunter in the jungle dark
Or the chinese dentist or the british queen
They all fit together in the same machine
Nice, nice, very nice
Nice, nice, very nice
So many people in the same device
So many people in the same device
