[“Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?”] became such a hit and such an expression of the whole era that it dawned on me that the communication through song is probably the most powerful way of teaching people, and I decided… [APPLAUSE]… I decided from there on that whatever I wrote was going to have something to do with the human condition. But I also determined that I was not going to be a Gloomy Gus… that the only way to cure the thing is with laughter, with satire, and that we’ve got to learn through reductio ad absurdum, through laughter and through courage, what is wrong with our system. And I thought I had finally reached the pinnacle of communication with people.

Speech excerpt from: Waldorf-Astoria Oral History Luncheon, May 17, 1980, in which Yip comments on the song “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” (from the Broadway revue Americana, 1932; lyric by E.Y. “Yip” Harburg, music by Jay Gorney).
