"Dr. Lindyke" is the nom de plume of Dave Leigh & William Hoover. We're songwriters, not performers. Everything here should be considered a demo, and we'd love for someone else to perform it better.

Spintunes Shadow: O Hail To You Fidonia
The challenge: "Write a new anthem for a fictional country."
The backstory... regarding the definition of a "country", I had told the other judges that in my view, "if a bunch of fleas formed a government, the dog they lived on would be a country."
This is their song.
O Hail To You, Fidonia
O Hail To You, Fidonia
A land of comfort and ease
From your collar to tail-bone-ia
The Homeland of the Fleas
Your rolling hills
So muscular
Are to us heaven-sent
We drink our fill
Corpuscular
From your flowing nourishment
O Hail To You, Fidonia!
O Hail To You, Fidonia!
O Hail To You, Fidonia!
Your luscious coat, preeminent
With never mange or thatch
Your tolerance, magnificent
You never roll or scratch
O Fido, fair
Beneath your hair
We live our lives in peace
And sing to you,
Fidonia
The Homeland of the Fleas
We sing to you,
Fidonia
The Homeland of the Fleas!
