You get a gold (Lone) star for knowing all three.

Jak: So glad you liked it. I debated whether to use GIRL WITH EVERYTHING ASKS FOR MOOR or WIFE SMOTHERED AFTER HANKIE HANKY-PANKY. Thanks for letting me know I chose the right one.

“The animals stage a coup d’état, / Hurrah! Hurrah! /And from the farm all humans bar, / Hurrah! Hurrah!” [Note: Show the world you’re a genius by being the first to name the book and song – known by more than one title – that inspired this.]
Book: Animal Farm
Song: The Ants Go Marching One by One, or When Johnny Comes Marching Home
