* Uke-Song: "RELIC SUBMARINES", in the style of The Beatles

SONG with UKULELE-CHORDS:

U.S.S. Clamagore at Patriots Point
(background: Arthur Ravenel Bridge, in fog)

MUSICAL UNDERPINNINGS: "Yellow Submarine", The Beatles 1966, with lead vocals by Ringo Starr.
BACKGROUND: Giorgio's substitute lyrics draw on his personal experience as an occasional denizen of South Carolina. With prominent tourist sites for the display of submarines from the Civil War, World War II and the Cold War, Charleston SC and the adjacent suburb of Mt Pleasant seem like a grim version of the Beatles' fantasy "land of submarines".

PARODY COMPOSED: Dr. G.H. and Giorgio Coniglio, December 2018. For further discussion and illustrations of submarines in Charleston, South Carolina,

SONGLINKS: Giorgio's other satire lyrics substituted to Beatles' songs include "Vonnegut" (Imagine); "Saturday Night" (Yesterday); "Brennan's Tweet" (Let It Be); "Jake" (While My Guitar Gently Weeps).
