@Jennicorn The constant jibberish that has resulted from this, and other songs/rhymes is driving me to distraction.

@EllaTheOrdinary Tim minchin.

Donald Swann's voice sounded quite interesting to me when I first heard Flanders and Swann's music on the Internet.

My father -- American, passed away two weeks ago at the age of 84 -- LOVED these guys.
We were fortunate enough to live in the UNK for three years when I was young, and he introduced me (as a young boy) to them. How fortunate am I? :-)

My dad is absolutely nuts about this song, he drives my mom, brother, twin sisters {twins to one another not me} crazy playing it and my sisters' kids just tell their granpa to turn it off. I think it's a rather cute song and though I'm not big on folk music, why should we question what people love so long as they don't blast our ears and minds with it if we don't like it?
