Differences from previous base version

Previous base version	This base version
Tapes that roll in way too slow Stuff you saw on Koppel's Show	If your an insomniac and a good nights sleep you lack
Thats the world news polka	Do the World News Polka
They make us work the graveyard shift Thats why we go for broke So why not tune in ABC and join our little joke 5 whole days every week Were here with our tongue in cheek And the worlds news polka Its the world news polka	If your up this late you must be headed for the john But hold it one more minute While we get our polka on Youill know that the weekends near When the little tune you hear Its the world news polka Do the world news polka
