Well, after looking around a while, I finally found a suitable MP3<\/a> of the Beverly Hillbillies Theme Song<\/a>? Alas, it wasn’t the instrumental one I had before. Why did I need this? Simple: To use the following song during the narration:<\/p>\n

The Children of Israel!<\/b> [by the Koszegi Hillbillies, (c) 5760]<\/center><\/p>\n\n\n
Come an’ listen to a story
\n’bout a man named Mo,
\nA Hebrew child raised
\nby the daughter of Pharaoh,
\nAn’ then one day
\nan Egyptian beat a slave,
\nAn’ Moses stepped in,
\nthe Hebrew for to save…
\n(Struck the guard, killed him dead!)<\/i><\/p>\n

Well, the next thing you know,
\nol’ Mo is all a-feared.
\nThe Hebrews said,
\n\u201cMo, run away from here!\u201d
\nMo decided Midian
\nwas the place he oughtta be,
\nAnd there he stayed,
\ntill he saw a burnin’ tree\u2026
\n(God, that is… boomin’ voice, majesty.)<\/i><\/p>\n

God told Moses
\nto go an’ tell Pharaoh,
\n\u201cTime has come
\nto let my people go!\u201d
\nPharaoh just laughed, said,
\n\u201cYou tryin’ to pull my leg?\u201d
\nSo Mo raised his staff,
\nand God brought down the plagues\u2026
\n(Blood, that is… frogs an’ lice, hailstones.)<\/i><\/td>\n

   <\/td>\nTen plagues in all,
\nand the last was really bad:
\nSlayin’ of the first-born,
\nand Pharaoh was a dad.
\nHe said to the Hebrews,
\n\u201cGo on! Get away from me!\u201d
\nSo they loaded up their matzah
\nand they headed toward the sea\u2026
\n(Red, that is… mighty wide, no way across.)<\/i><\/p>\n

Pharaoh got all crazy
\nand decided to attack.
\nMo raised his staff,
\nand the waters, they drew back!
\nThe Hebrews walked through,
\njust as dry as they could be,
\nAnd Pharaoh’s army chased \u2019em,
\nbut were covered by the sea\u2026
\n(Drowned, that is… chariots, riders, too)<\/i><\/p>\n

The Mo’s sister Miriam,
\nshe began to sing,
\nAnd the womenfolk danced
\nas she played the tambourine.
\nOnce we were slaves,
\nbut now we are free,
\nAnd in every generation
\nwe recall our history\u2026
