Ah, that's jolly amusing: thanks for posting it  :D

It also led me in classic YouTube fashion to this fine gentleman's channel, wherein he knocks out some absolutely excellent covers of Mr Squire's bassline on some of Yes' best tracks. I listened through the whole of his Silent Wings of Freedom; fabulous playing. (Might be something for Catherine, now I know she's a bassist :-)

If you were thinking, that sounds very much like Mr Squire from the original, you would be right!

You might (or then again might not) be interested in how this came about.  Apparently the chap who put this up originally posted the lyrics up on Yesfans, back a few years, and at the time a certain Mrs Scotty Squire regularly hung out at that forum, and she showed said lyrics to Mr Squire, who immediately put the song on and sang the new lyrics along. He loved it!

Not long after, he was on a certain Mr Wakeman's radio show and sung these modified lyrics to the backing track.  Of course Yesfans were there to record the historic moment, and here it is.

Had me in stitches when Mrs One played this to me the other day.
