I think Paul Revere lived in Concord 5's

This parody is long, fellow. And clever.

my favorite of the day...wonderful concept and execution

A great parody to a song from one of my favourite musicals. 555

Thanks, Lionel, alvin, John, Kristof...and I see I suffered a bad spell while writing this...twice...with "Centuries"

Bravo, AFW, 555!

Paul Revere lived in Boston's North End, not in Concord.

On the night of April 18-19, 1775, not only Paul Revere but an entire pre-arranged network of riders spread out through Middlesex county to alert all the outlying towns, farms, and settlements. The British were well aware of this network of colonial alert-riders and had sent out patrols to intercept them wherever possible. It was one such patrol that encountered Paul Revere, William Dawes, and Dr. Samuel Prescott between Lexington and Concord. Prescott jumped his horse over a stone wall and evaded the British troops by galloping off through the woods; Dawes turned back towards Lexington and hid on a nearby farm; but Revere was surrounded by a group of British Regulars who detained him and then confiscated his horse. Revere and Dawes didn't make it to Concord that night --- but Dr. Samuel Prescott did. In Concord, the Barrett family hid a huge stash of ammunition underneath their grandmother's feather bed with granny in the bed itself --- when the British troops entered the bedroom, they excused themselves like proper English gentlemen when they saw the old lady in her bed and left the room undisturbed. Various other clever means of hiding guns & ammo were employed around Concord before the British troops arrived. Meanwhile, a group of about 400 angry Minutemen (teenage boys) & militia (farmers & tradesmen) from Concord, Acton, and numerous surrounding towns, gathered in the early morning twilight on Punkatasset Hill, just north of downtown Concord, across the Sudbury/Concord River from a group of around 70 to perhaps as many as 100 outnumbered and frightened British troops who were under orders to hold the North Bridge. In the center of town, some British troops had found a few cannon and were burning them in the town square when some embers from the burning cannon touched-off a fire on a nearby building --- the British troops voluntarily joined in a bucket-brigade with the townspeople to put out the fire on the building's roof, since they were under orders to destroy only munitions, nothing else. But over on Punkatasset Hill, the Minutemen & militiamen saw the smoke rising over the center of town in the distance, and rumors immediately spread that the British were burning down Concord! Enraged, the colonials marched towards the North Bridge, with the Acton men leading the way since they were the only ones whose muskets had fixed bayonets. The grossly outnumbered British troops on other side of the bridge were terrified at the sight of 400 armed and angry colonials advancing on them --- somebody fired a shot --- then volleys rang out from both sides --- and when the smoke cleared, Abner Hosmer of Acton, Captain Isaac Davis of Acton, and James Hayward of Acton lay dead on the colonial's side of the river, while fourteen British lay wounded or dead on the other side. The American Revolution had begun.

BTW, my wife and I live in Concord, Massachusetts. In 2004, I marched in our annual Patriot's Day Parade (April 19) in-costume along with the entire cast of The Concord Players' production of the Broadway musical " 1776 " --- I played the part of Dr. Lyman Hall, Congressional delegate from Georgia and signer of the Declaration of Independence.

Thanks, Johnny D...and thanks for this in-depth, and very interesting story tag ....I never realized you lived where all this great history took place...
