Song of the Week: "The Egg"

One of my all time favorite movies is 1776, the musical about the Declaration of Independence. So, since this Song of the Week falls on the actual Fourth, here's one of the songs from the film. (The original cast recording is also excellent, but the movie has Henry da Silva, who was ill and couldn't make the recording. He's excellent as Benjamin Franklin, as are his co-stars William Daniels as Adams and Ken Howard as Jefferson. This movie's on Turner Classic Movies this afternoon, so if you think about it, you should catch it.)
