A play by George Bernard Shaw is the source of the book title at

This suggests a corresponding song  title . . .

From the album "The Time of the Assassins."

"How old is  the 'Big Spider Beck' joke?"

From "Blackboard Jungle" (1955) —

and it's just that the next class … 
i
s a little more advanced.

Students:

– We're advanced, teach. 
– Two times two is four.
– Are  four.
