I do appreciate this Richard.

When my dad and I watched the movie last night we thought the
portrayal of the "corrupt" police guy was a little corny

bummer. . man I was filled with self righteousness whilst crooning that  
ditty
which I never got to the end of because there were too many lyrics

Well I'll try a shorter song next time
