The stars at night, are big and bright,
deep in the heart of Texas,
The prairie sky is wide and high,
deep in the heart of Texas.
The sage in bloom is like perfume,
deep in the heart of Texas,
Reminds me of, the one I love,
deep in the heart of Texas.

The coyotes wail, along the trail,
deep in the heart of Texas,
The rabbits rush, around the brush,
deep in the heart of Texas.
The cowboys cry, "Ki-yip-pee-yi,"
deep in the heart of Texas,
The dogies bawl, and bawl and bawl,
deep in the heart of Texas.

We should start a scientific study of that very question. Any thoughts on where we could get funding?

How about the Bush family?

(The first line of the song was already used in the original Mohammad-Chang study, with predictable results. The current informal experiment involves singing the third line at various street corners across the state, to see if identical results can be achieved. The Pavlovian response of at least one early participant suggests encouraging results.)

You're saying Squinky associates the song with being fed?

I don't know about brilliant (I don't find it funny at all), but it's clear that it isn't serious. If in doubt, read the Brütal Legend "review".

Not a brilliant paradigm, just a shiny pair o' dimes:
