Grad school can suck sometimes - but it's utterly worth it in the long run. I can sympathize, though.

The long-lost song turned out to be 'The Lightsailor.' I first heard it at Worldcon when I was in high school and fell in love with it instantly, but was way the heck too shy to ask any of the performers what it might be or who they were.

The utterly hilarious song was, as you guessed, one of Bob Kanefsky's - he wrote a parody of Arthur Curry that just hit me in the right place (I had, admittedly, been softened up by sleep deprivation and circumstance, but it was still pretty damn hilarious).
