Urea? Moby Dick in the prairie? Explanation, please, anyone. I remember a Disney cartoon from when I was little of a whale singing Shortninā Bread. Maybe itās related.
Googling āUreonāā¦. the only thing I found is that according to a huge āStar Trekā wiki, thereās a (presumably obscure) starship(?) of that name:
āThe Ureon is a Warbarge Dreadnought in service to the Orion Syndicate in 2409. "
If that has anything to do with itā¦ it could explain āON the Ureonā ā¦ but not much else, IMHO.
I see no mention of a whale thereā¦ but since I donāt know all the jargon, I couldnāt say for sure.

I think the reference here is to the āvocalizationsā in whale song. Thatās all Iāve got.

First thing my wife said to me this morning: āNobodyās going to get your cartoon today.ā The āyou idiotā part was implied.

Problem is, the cowboys sitting round a campfire miles away will hear it, too.

It would sound much better than a bowl of petunias singing āOh, No, Not Again.ā

I speak whale. Not sure why the whale is singing about āHome, home on the ovenā, though.

Thereās a great deal of satisfaction in getting an obscure joke when most others donāt. Or so I hear. Iāve never experienced it. Here, either.
