A DU first!! From DU's Atticus, along with The Freedom Toast--a DU music parody video! [View all]

A few months ago, Atticus posted the lyrics of what became the first and third verses of this song.

What then happened in sequence was this: I asked him if it was OK if I used them as the basis of a TFT video. He gave his blessing, I added a second verse of my own, got the band together in Atlanta remotely, recorded it, gave it to Cinebot Video, also in Georgia, and loosely guided them through the screenplay (although Alison knew pretty much what I wanted), and we sent the final version to The Parody Project to put it out on their channel.

A DU first!! We gave Atticus his due credit for his great lyrics in the ending credits.
