Totally random hivemind (traditional music department, division of folk son lyrics) question:

Many, many years ago in my long-gone preteenhood, I saw an episode of M*A*S*H shelters a busload of war orphans. In it, there's a brief scene of Radar singing a lullaby to a restless wee one. It's haunted me ever since, and I've been using the tune for Matilda lullabyes since she was born. Last night I decided to hunt down all the lyrics so I could sing her the whole original song if I felt like it, not just the chorus and single verse sung by Radar.

Except I can't find the damn thing anywhere. The lyrics as sung on the show are:

By lo, baby,
by lo baby,
by lo baby,
by lo baby, by.

Daddy still loves you,
Daddy still loves you,
Daddy still loves you,
Though he's gone to war.

I feel like a Google idiot. Every possible spelling variation of by and lo (except for "buy low, baby," which seems unlikely) comes up with nothing much: eBay auctions for a doll called a By-Lo Baby or for sheet music to a minstrel-era song that's (a) kinda racist and (b) metrically all wrong anyway. Spelling variations with "lullaby," "song" or "lyrics" turn up the creepy minstrel song.

Googling the second verse brings up a Simpsons message board post by a guy who uses that as his tagline, and a Songs Sung On M*A*S*H Episodes website (also a couple of children's music CDs with a "By-Lo Baby" on the playlist, but on account of the creepy minstrel song I'm leery of shelling out money for a CD sight, or lyrics, unseen).

Am I blindly forgetting to Google something really obvious, or is it just a haunting little faux-old-timey song that in fact only dates back to whenever that M*A*S*H episode was written?

Generally, I don't like popcorn. Yes, I know that this makes me (even more of) a freak.

I don't like popcorn unless it's at the movies, with a lot of butter-flavored topping. It always gets stuck in my teeth. So sexy.

(For the record, I did know it wasn't the State of the Union address last night. However, I was sleepy.)

I was craving popcorn last night, and then I stopped, which was good, since I didn't have any and aren't really supposed to eat it anyway and now I hate you people.

Also with hot sauce, and the cheese sticks to the hot sauce and YUM.

or with Buffalo Wing Sauce

Umm, popcorn. With brewer's yeast is best.

I'm craving a bag of SmartFood now like whoa.

One thing about popcorn (or any food with a lot of air in it) is that it makes you feel more full than the equivalent weight of non air-filled food. I work in a movie theatre. I can have free popcorn any time I want. Still sometimes I get the craving to pop some Orville Redenbacher on the stove in olive oil and top it with salt & pepper. Dang now I gotta go buy some Orville Redenbacher.

I have some in my office. Want I should send it through the internet?
