The theme for this week is didactic songs.  Many songs are of the eat, drink 
and be merry variety, but not in the 50's.  The 50's seemed to be especially 
interested in teaching people how to live, so let's find out how to live.  
Pretty good advice actually.  So, pull up your socks, it's time to fly right.

A nice version of a 50's favorite.  If I could figure out what instrument he's 
playing.

Shakespeare has much to teach, if he could get a word in edgwise.  Ah, that 
fairies’ midwife...

And now the 90's contribution to better living.  He does make it look 
effortless, doesn't he?
