Mark Steyn's writing on the great American songbook has been hailed by composers, lyricists and connoisseurs of good music, from The Tonight Show's Steve Allen to the Pet Shop Boys.

So here by popular demand is Steyn's take on some of his favorite lyrics, some of his favorite music, and what happens when you put them together to create a classic song. This volume includes essays on pop standards from The Way You Look Tonight to Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! to I've Got You Under My Skin: the songs that get under your skin and stay.

A Song For The Season

Roaming from America to Europe to Australia, Lights Out is a trenchant examination of the tensions between a resurgent Islam and a fainthearted west - and of the implications for liberty in the years ahead. In 2007, the Canadian Islamic Congress brought three suits against Maclean s, Canada s biggest-selling newsweekly, for running an excerpt from Steyn s bestselling book America Alone, plus other flagrantly Islamophobic columns by the author. A year later the CIC had lost all its cases and Steyn had become a poster boy for a worldwide phenomenon - the collision between Islam, on the one hand, and, on the other, western notions of free speech, liberty and pluralism. In this book, Steyn republishes all the essays the western world's new thought police attempted to criminalize, along with new material responding to his accusers. Covering other crises from the Danish cartoons to the Salman Rushdie fatwa, he also takes a stand against the erosion of free speech, and the advance of a creeping totalitarian "multiculturalism"; and he considers the broader relationship between Islam and the west in a time of unprecedented demographic transformation.

Lights Out: Islam, Free Speech And The Twilight Of The West

A remote fantastical kingdom far from Europe's chancelleries of power...\nAn unpopular monarch on the eve of his coronation...\nA ruling class of plotters and would-be usurpers...\n...and a gentleman adventurer on holiday.\nNo, not Ruritania in the nineteenth century, but the United Kingdom in the twenty-first. Mark Steyn's new book is both a sequel to and an inversion of Anthony Hope's classic of 1894, The Prisoner of Zenda. In the original, an English gentleman on vacation is called upon to stand in for his lookalike, the King of Ruritania, at his coronation. Over a century later, a dispossessed Ruritanian king on vacation in London is called upon to return the favour and stand in for an Englishman in an absurd fantastical kingdom where Brexit never quite happened...\nMark Steyn's contemporary inversion of Sir Anthony's caper arose by accident: He had just read a kind comment from a listener who'd belatedly discovered his audio serialization of The Prisoner of Zenda - and immediately afterwards he chanced to see a BBC news bulletin reporting on something or other in a Covid-lockdowned London, followed by a story on the Polish election. And it occurred to him, not for the first time, that in the age of contagion life in most Eastern European capitals looks more normal than life in most Western European capitals. It is one of the odder twists of fate that, having had the lousiest twentieth century one could imagine, the far side of the Iron Curtain seems to be navigating the currents of the twenty-first rather better than the west. And so, with Sir Anthony's Ruritania still floating around the back of his mind, he wondered if today a Ruritanian wouldn't find life in London at least as fantastical as Hope's Rudolf Rassendyll found life in Strelsau.\nAnd so herewith an entertainment: a sequel to The Prisoner of Zenda set in England at the dawn of a new reign - and not just a sequel, but an inversion. Anthony Hope's romance of 1894 spawned an entire industry of yarns set in barely credible kingdoms - and the contemporary United Kingdom fits into that tradition just fine. You don't need to have read Zenda to get the concept. As with Hope's tale, this inversion is about honor and duty in a very foreign land.

"Mark Steyn is a human sandblaster. This book provides a powerful, abrasive, high-velocity assault on encrusted layers of sugarcoating and whitewash over the threat of Islamic imperialism. Do we in the West have the will to prevail?" - MICHELLE MALKIN, New York Times bestselling author of Unhinged "Mark Steyn is the funniest writer now living. But don't be distracted by the brilliance of his jokes. They are the neon lights advertising a profound and sad insight: America is almost alone in resisting both the suicide of the West and the suicide bombing of radical Islamism." - JOHN O'SULLIVAN, editor at large, National Review IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT..... Someday soon, you might wake up to the call to prayer from a muezzin. Europeans already are. And liberals will still tell you that "diversity is our strength"--while Talibanic enforcers cruise Greenwich Village burning books and barber shops, the Supreme Court decides sharia law doesn't violate the "separation of church and state," and the Hollywood Left decides to give up on gay rights in favor of the much safer charms of polygamy. If you think this can't happen, you haven't been paying attention, as the hilarious, provocative, and brilliant Mark Steyn--the most popular conservative columnist in the English-speaking world--shows to devastating effect. The future, as Steyn shows, belongs to the fecund and the confident. And the Islamists are both, while the West is looking ever more like the ruins of a civilization. But America can survive, prosper, and defend its freedom only if it continues to believe in itself, in the sturdier virtues of self-reliance (not government), in the centrality of family, and in the conviction that our country really is the world's last best hope. Mark Steyn's America Alone is laugh-out-loud funny--but it will also change the way you look at the world.
