Deep in the Heart of Texas
 

The stars at night - are big and bright
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The prairie sky - is wide and high
Deep in the heart of Texas.
But on this road, thou shall not pass.
Deep in the heart of Texas.

G-D it.
Two earworms for the price of one.

Deep in the Heart of Texas, which I remember my Mum belting out cooking a Sunday roast while doing a bizarre hoedown dance with a wooden spoon (?!).

And Is This the Way to Amarillo.

Bitch. *hums tune* Damnitall.

I have lived in Texas my whole life and do not know any songs about Amarillo...

When I was living in San Antonio, this was a staple at the clubs:

Well it's a good thing they put those cones up because somebody woulda hit that thing.

They need the traffic light to keep cars off the road when the locals are trying to take off or land.

Made famous (in Britain) by Bolton comedian Peter Kay, who used it as his warm-up music.
He then mimed it for Comic Relief.

There are quite a few people in this video who are dead now. They weren't at the time of course. Also features ex peer of the realm and paedo Jimmy Savile, although we didn't realise that then. The paedo part, not the featuring part - he did show up on film.

'Is this the way to Armadillo' as performed by the Royal Dragoon Guards in Iraq 2005.



I always had my suspicions about some of the credits. It seems I was right.

Is This the Way to Armadillo

Lawrence of Arabia, thou shouldst be living at this hour.
