Well, Harpo Marx claimed that Russian posters for him called him
"Exacto Mapcase"...which is actually somewhat accurate for "Harpo
Marx" when rendered in Cyrillic...?!
And "Song of Unemployed America" DOES sound like how the Communists
might have interpreted "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime" (one of two
thirties songs that actually ADMITTED there was a depression going on...?!).
