Yes, the original was about global COOLING.

Someone complains in 5...4...3...2...

Yes, the steroid thing is unproven, and hence a cheap shot, but...

I don't know much about the Saints, other than them getting jobbed out of a home game.

LONDON CALLING

London calling to the Louisiana towns
Now that the game is moved-and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the bayou, all you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look at us
All that phony college football has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing

The network is coming, the camera's zooming in
Bush has stopped running and Brees is growing thin
The Payton era, but I have no fear
London is drowning-and I live by the river

London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, an' go it alone
London calling upon the 'roiders of death
Quit holding out-and draw another breath
London calling-and I don't wanna shout
But when we were talking-I saw you parading out
London calling-see we ain't got no highs
Except for that one with the Eagley eyes

The network is coming, the camera's zooming in
Bush has stopped running and Brees is growing thin
The Payton era, but I have no fear
London is drowning-and I live by the river


Now get this
London calling, yeah, I was there, too
An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
After all this, won't you give me a smile?

I never felt so much a' like... a'like... a' like...
