The Band Played On

"The Band Played On" was a song that was played during Casey and Marie Ward's wedding reception. During the reception, the Wards became stuck dancing to the song, while the gramophone kept replaying the song. The guests thought it was a prank and left, but one returned five weeks later to find the Wards still dancing to the song, after which they were sent to the London County Mental Hospital. (PROSE: The Very Real Mystery of Wester Drumlins [+]Loading...["The Very Real Mystery of Wester Drumlins (short story)"])

It went:

Casey would waltz with a strawberry blonde
And the band played on...
He'd glide 'cross the floor with the girl he adored
And the band played on…
He'd ne'er leave the girl with the strawberry curls
And the band played on…
