Back in the days when music made
Was not recorded but done live,
No talent sounders sang and played,
Getting employed by talking jive.
There were those times when music’s best
Got talked into hiring the worst.
At rehearsal one could have guessed,
But some times show time was the first
When all ears within hearing be
Subjected to the worst in deed,
The sounds of sheer cacophony,
By ” musicians” no one should need.

John Philip Sousa hired a band,
That played like fish and then got canned.
