I put the rest of this here (and the first part only below):

It ties in well with my lyrics game (linked from that link).
The new word's art was done in Colorado.

=====================================================

It was fun being a baby boomer... until now. Some of the artists of the
60's are revising their hits with new lyrics to accommodate all of us
aging
baby boomers.

They include:

Herman's Hermits--- Mrs.. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Walker.

Ringo Starr--- I Get By With a Little Help From Depends.

The Bee Gees--- How Can You Mend a Broken Hip.

Bobby Darin--- Splish, Splash, I Was Havin' a Flash.
