" Bin Faaarkrekkion's new Moosical, "Dik Od Triaanenen Fol (Finns Ain't What They Used to Be)." The story of Finland's transition from an agricultural society to an industrial one, which features the talents of the East Finland Moose Ballet, is highlighted by such songs as "I Hear Your Nokia But I Can't Come In" and "Foek You, Farmers." The action takes place entirely in a sauna."
I could use a good sauna today.

[ps: If you're confused by the above, it's text from the Playbill for Spamalot and the lyrics for the first song in the show, although not in that order.]
