      • George Carlin's Muhammad Ali/America the Beautiful routine ends with him singing: O beautiful for smoggy skies Insecticided grain For strip-minded mountains majesty Above the asphalt plain America! America! Men sheds his waste on thee And hides the pines with billboard signs From sea to oily sea. When Carlin reused this routine in his 1972 album Class Clown, he added a piece on "the sexual side of Vietnam." Edit
