"And the Band Played On" is the name of a popular song from the late 50s or early 60s... I can't remember much of the words now, but it was a song about "the girl with the strawberry curl," and this guy in the song had a problem with his "head", which was "loaded". It is a good thing it wasn't written by the Byrds, or they would have made a major sociopolitical issue over it... banned it from the radio... etc... as it was, I can remember singing it back when I was 5yr old or so.
