"Ride a White Swan"?
thank you! I could recall the tune but not the words.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

As indicated in the comments of the FMU blog, that's probably a rip of that Japanese bootleg that's been floating around for a couple of years, that's a copy of an identical acetate found in Mo Tucker's basement. The one on eBay was supposedly in better condition, but otherwise the same recordings.
Someone posted these same mp3's last month when all the hoopla started (I BTed them from somewhere). They're quite interesting, but I think they're for hardcore collectors only.

Speaking of which - Jon (or anyone else), have you heard the bootleg Screen Test: Falling in Love with the Falling Spikes? It's a recording done before they renamed themselves the VU, and before Mo Tucker had joined the band. The sound quality is awful (it's a live recording), but there's a very pretty version of "Oh Sweet Nutnin'" - it's very different from the much later Loaded version. Hmmm.... as soon as I get a turntable I should digitize that.

I may have heard it at some point, but if I did it didn't leave a strong impression. ;)

I finally got around to downloading Johnny Cash's American IV. I like his version of "We'll Meet Again." That song is inexorably linked with Dr. Strangelove in my mind.
Um... let's see - what was the point of this post? Oh yeah, anyone else unable to decouple the song with the movie?

Considering I didn't even make that connection? I guess me.

And thanks after all for the link to the VU acetate mp3s. The bitrate of the WFMU files is much higher than the version I downloaded last month.

The sound quality of those WFMU mp3s isn't all that bad - except for all the popping and other noise. You could probably remove a good chunk of the popping with software that's designed to clean up digitized record recordings... but I don't have any such software or know what's a good program. Maybe I'll look into this later... anyone have software recommendations?
