Song in My Head

There's a new movie out called "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen". It's an English film, starring the great Ewan McGregor, and it made me wonder why Brits use the definite article the ahead of countries like Yemen, Gambia, Sudan and Lebanon.

And that's when the Human League got in my head and stayed there. Ugh. Suffer with me (but enjoy Philip Oakey's mullet) -- here's "The Lebanon".
