    60 years later, four government inquiries and still no one knows the lyrics...
    Obscene indeed.

    So much meticulous examination of lyrics, completely missing the word "f*ck!" yelled by the drummer after hitting his sticks together accidentally at 54 seconds mark:

      Yeah. I had originally planned on adding that in to this and never found the right spot for it, so I left it out. Wild though that it was missed by EVERYONE.

      And we're STILL playing it on the air.
      HA!

      I thought he'd dropped a stick while playing.

    It would have been nice if the video showed some of the alternate lyrics people were claiming it contained, as well as a better shot of the actual original lyrics beyond a quick pan of the sheet music. Now I have to go do research...

      I debated this a lot. It felt like it would be redundant if I showed more of the lyrics beyond what’s in the Coup de Ville movie clip.

    The REALLY funny thing?
    There's an "f bomb" in the background that's not part of the lyrics. The drummer messes up and yells it out.

    How much money did we spend on this?

    • @amthomas101

      I mean, it terms of material specifically for this project, technically $10 on a copy of an LP by The Kingsmen that I had planned to use and then didn’t. That is if you don’t count the computer, the software, and the headphones. Otherwise, the cost was in time. Even the book I read was available to read for free on the Internet Archive.

      ​@@amthomas101I'm pretty sure he meant we (the taxpayers) spent on the investigations.
      But to answer that question: $0.
      Government agencies have to account what they spent the $ on. And "a coup to overthrow the government of (insert country name here)" isn't going to fly. But they still spent the money on the coup, now they just have to fabricate cover stories. Like this one
