212 “THE VOID”
sail to the New World and bring back chests of gold. The spirited number
is a cross between an English drinking song and a sailors’ sea chantey.
“The Void” is the incongruous number by Richard M. and Robert B.
Sherman that spoofs the “deep” songs of the beat generation, written for
the movie The Moon Pilot (1962). When the San Francisco police bring in
a bevy of women who hang out on the wharf at night, one of them is drunk
and breaks into this pseudo-meaningful song about the emptiness of life.
The music sounds improvised, as does the lyric, creating a wicked pastiche
of the beatnik songs of the era.
