And, "HO, HO, HO" to you, John! Hello, Geoff ... thanks for the week! I only discovered this song a couple of weeks ago. If it's celebrating anything, then it's the avarice of mid-Twentieth-Century children in the Land of Plenty; but, it DOES mention Christmas in just about every line, so, I suppose it's seasonal. I realised, when I tried to start singing that I am losing my voice (Christmas cold coming up), but the end result sort of fits in with my attempt at an impression of a young child. (Anyway, I can't do it again!) Oh, and that noise at the beginning is genuine "hippo speak" ... who knew they sounded like that; I certainly didn't!
