W*O*L*D

W*O*L*D was a concert favorite.  Harry would substitute the name of the local college or rock FM station for W*O*L*D in one the choruses, always to an appreciative response from the audience.  W*O*L*D was Harry's second top 40 hit. 

This song was released as a single in 1973.  The B side of the promotional copy of the single was a shorter version of the song. 

A W*O*L*D parody by Bill Tong is available about George W. Bush entitled, "Dubya, Don't O.D." The lyrics were posted  on Yahoo!Groups in January 2002.  He also has a political parody based on Cat's in the Cradle.
