Is popping out to say "cuckoo"
Cuckoo, cuckoo"

It's been a very long time since I've seen The Sound of Music. Recently I've seen it referenced, as Timothy Frye here has, as a backdrop of impending fascism. What did I miss when I was younger? I feel I need to go watch it again.

The vonTrapps were escaping when the Germans wanted Captain vonTrapp in the German navy.

When they get home from their honeymoon there's a bis swastika flag hanging in their doorway and a very pissed off captain pulls it down.
