A Song for Everything

Interesting that the song was published in 1982, the year I entered the U.S. Navy, later to become a Submariner myself, as others in the thread know. Nice to hear tribute songs like this about "boats" lost at sea. Thanks!
A high school friend entered in โ€˜84, also on submarines. He sent me an awesome sweatshirt about empty missile tubesโ€ฆ I wore it out. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Thank you for your service. I was unaware of your history, but you may be interested in a little more of the backstory on this song then.

It was in honor of Dolby's uncle who perished in WWII aboard a submarine. This song is the story of that battle as he remembered the family lore. There's a Wikipedia page on the song. Found it during a deep dive late one night on "Blinded me with science". Amazed I remembered this was the B-side for the single.

I read up on it. The lyrics don't match the actual event of it's sinking, but he didn't learn that until years later when records were declassified.

Given the circus context, Iโ€™m going to assume you meant โ€œringmasterโ€ and therefore I submit โ€œcircus bossโ€ as a synonym. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚


Big Top
Yep - was aiming for Ring Master

I was going to post that song for the "tent" clue, using @BrendaD logic to go from tent to big top to circus. I wasn't quick enough. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
I feel very seen - I am often just seconds from posting when someone else gets there first.

Fair Warning - this is an ...interesting video for a country song
