Another full moon here tonight. I’m hoping it doesn’t lead to another set of shenanigans like early this morning where there were two major fires (no one hurt) and a power outage. Got me a front page story in the next edition but I’d really rather not be traipsing around in jammies and Skechers at three in the morning just to get a few photos. Makes me a little grumpy.

"Moonlight Serenade" is an American swing #ballad composed by #GlennMiller with subsequent lyrics by #MitchellParish. It was an immediate phenomenon when released in May 1939 as an instrumental arrangement, though it had been adopted and performed as Miller's #signatureTune as early as 1938, even before it had been given the name "Moonlight Serenade". In 1991, Miller's recording of "Moonlight Serenade" was inducted into the #GrammyHallOfFame.

You only need to change a few words to update When That Man Is Dead And Gone:
Some fine day the news'll flash
Satan with that orange rash
Is asleep beneath the lawn
When that man is dead and goneTho' I think it sounds a bit more 1940 to say "that awful rash"; it'd certainly be easier to sing.
I'm not into Al Bowlly's extended lyrics; the line about Goering's difficult in multiple ways:
Satan'll take him by the hand
To meet old Goering, luftwaffe manBut maybe (with context):
What a day to wake up on
What a way to greet the dawn
Satan with those tiny hands
will fall into hell's hinterlands
When that man is dead and gone
