[Dixielandjazz] Musical Groaner

" Re the out-of-coal train in Poland: second time I've seen this joke, and
 I had the same reaction this time.  It's funnyt alright, but the humor
 is somewhat dimmed when you realize that Dancing in the Dark was written
 by Dietz and Schwartz, and NOT Cole Porter."

Another coal related tune (popularised by Barry Malinow) which includes a
reference to a flag with Acker Bilk's face on it, is Coke Acker Banner.

Baby, it's coal outside.
