Subject: my flagboy
who sings that song that goes something like" my flagboy and your flagboy sitting by the fire. My flagboy...I'm gonna set your flag on fire...."? What is the name of the song? This question has really been bothering me recently. For some reason, it conjures up th movie the Dream Team.

It was also sung by Cyndi Lauper on her True Colors CD - my personal favorite version!
