Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation and pursuant to our Thursday night wild-card show, and your week-end viewing time availability, we have a special feature for you: here is the original two-hour 1939 version, as restored by the Library of Congress, and as starring Jean Arthur and James Stewart, of Frank Capra’s
Ladies and gentlemen, you know the circumstantial reasons for our featuring this show tonight, yet there is an overarching consideration that transcends mere circumstance. Yes it is all well and good to go along to get along, up to a point. But the time comes when every honest human must stand his ground, and at a minimum that point has arrived when one is faced with corruption of any form, be it statist, corporatist, theologist, et cetera.
If you believe in heaven then you must prepare to ask yourself what you will say to St. Peter or equivalent when the time comes. And if you don’t then you must prepare to ask yourself what you will say to yourself, your family, friends, and colleagues, when the time comes. You must ask yourself: in my life, have I been an honest human? Have I been honorable? Have I pursued the classic notions of truth, good behaviour, and the golden rule for all citizens, for all humans; or have I looked the other way when I knew better, have I condoned malfeasance to get along, have I pursued fraud for illegitimate personal benefit? This is your life; that is how by history ye shall be known.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation and pursuant to our Saturday night contemporary music show, we have a shiny new feature for you: here is our first SDA LNR Quiz. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to determine how far into this song it takes you to identify it. The clip starts about one-third of the way into the song, just to keep things properly obfuscated.
The title of the song is sung at the end, so (1) you don’t have to wait more than the length of the song to get the answer, and so (2) if you report on how fast you recognized the song, it’s on an honour basis only. And if you do want to take the quiz, you should probably do so before reading the comments, since someone will surely enough spill the beans there soon. Yet if you are going to claim to have recognized this song in four notes, then there has to be a reason for that, so you better have a good story to tell 😉
Update: Oh zot. Well, Kelly has pointed out in the comments that apparently the site I was using to host the quiz has a daily download bandwidth limit, and that has now been exceeded. I guess that kind of spoils the quiz, but here for your delectation anyway is the orginal work: Part 1 & Part 2. The quiz started at 6:25 in part 1.

Update: Pursuant to our previous footage, here at SDA LNR, of l’Hydroptère, the current fastest sailboat in the world (47.2 knots, 87.4 km/h), I have found some additional footage. While the former is more majestic and is a great overview, the latter, and I say this speaking as an old Tornado sailor, more accurately reflects the feel on the boat, in my opinion.
