KLEM FM
I bought one these the other day:
It's pretty cool, but I'm saving it as a gift for someone special.
Here's the series closer song, followed by the one they should have used, IMHO:

KLEM FM: Definite Articles of Confederation
Just one niggling point: as a boy, I knew instinctively that he sang "Virgil quick come see, there goes the Robert E. Lee." The Robert E. Lee* was a riverboat you see, and I knew that because I had built a scale model of her by then. The song was talking to me, man.
Built shortly after the war, the Lee was quite famous and had beaten the Natchez in a famous 1870 steamboat race immortalized by Currier & Ives:
Here's the Joan Baez version: link She too swallows the definite article, but she too sings "there goes the Robert E. Lee."
________________
*According to the Wiki, the Robert E. Lee still holds a record time for a commercial craft on the Mississippi, set that night of the Currier & Ives lithograph. That's astonishing and quite an achievement for a racist boat race.
