I will have to listen again. I thought the song was a reference to Congress and a play on the word lobby (as in lobbying and special interests etc.) It is always interesting to hear what other people interpret from songs :) Alison On Wed, 30 Jun 1999, Buddy Brannan wrote: > I mean, really dense.

Me too! Me too!!! I felt kind of excited when I first picked up on the Wizard of Oz stuff...then kind of slow. I couldn't put it all together for one big message, though. Any ideas...or is it just for fun? >>> "Buddy Brannan" 06/30 8:58 PM >>> I mean, really dense.

I can relate, I'm sure a lot of people who deal with congress and lobbying groups, and all of the red-tape feel like they "aren't in Kansas anymore".
