[Dixielandjazz] Correct Lyrics or not? - was PC Lyrics

[Bill Gunter]

Steve changes a lyric: "I change 'Metro Goldwyn has asked me to star' to 
'Steven Spielberg has asked me to star.'"

Our cornet player, Gary Church, does the song and changes that line to 
"Jerry Springer has asked me to star!"    --   (Rimshot)

Cheers,

Bill "Thimbles" Gunter
