The stuttering vocals on "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" came from the band goofing around in the studio. Randy Bachman was imitating other famous singers like Frank Sinatra and as a joke, he sang it like his brother, who had a speech impediment. It was never meant to end up on an album, much less released as a single, but the record company knew they'd inadvertently struck gold.
You have totally mirepresented the intent of the song. This was 1918, no radio, no tv, and movies were just starting to be created. People used to sing together, with piano, for enjoyment. To somehow connect this to the KKK is a total block missing from your thinking. It was a Popular song, that someone in the KKK liked, because probably everyone everywhere south of the Canadian Border liked it too. Please read your history deeper.

I remember hearing this song from my parents. Didn't know there were verses, just knew the chorus. Anyone recall "Down by the Old Mill Stream" ?
HNY. The infiltration of the KKK into SK is well known and the American fueled Conoy Maniacs of our day are a modern equivalent in some ways.
"It even spread to Canada. In Saskatchewan, the KKK became powerful enough that it managed to elect on of its members to Parliament in Ottawa."
Ignoring the typo who was elected under what party and to what effect?
Curiously yours
