      • 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."
