Over valley and hill there is no finer thrill

Last night, I managed to reduce secutatrix, liriselei and andykittie to a spluttering heap with a single sentence. I am very proud of this.

However, it seems the reason I managed it is that they were deprived children.

They never had sung to them the song about The Hole In The Elephant's Bottom.

That's the only version I can find online, which is not the version I know - it's quite like it, but it's missing the chorus, and the words, though broadly similar, are not the same.

Note for the mother: do you have a recording of F&F singing it anywhere ?

Update: and if anyone can tell me how to get the mp3 to work properly under Firefox, I'd be grateful. It's not like I particularly want to listen to it, just that it's annoying that, despite me having the correct version of QuickTime installed, it doesn't work.

The mp3? The bottom link in the page? Works fine for me...

Thanks, that's helpful :)
It just takes me to another page which has the message about requiring you to install additional plug-ins.

I already have QT installed, I shouldn't need any rights at all.

I know what it sounds like, because I fired up IE to listen to it, so I don't really care to listen in this instance. I just want to know why FF won't behave.

The link at the bottom (of the elephant?) is

The Second Eleven
Outrageous Rugby Songs
Hole In The Elephant's Bottom Time: 1:43

which goes to an mp3, not another page :)

Ok, well, I'll look at why Firefox is silly then, rather than trying to work around it :)

Ah, right. I was looking at the other link at the bottom. Yes, the very bottom one does just go to an mp3.

If its any comfort FF keeps demanding I install the QT plugin thing too (even though it is installed) This turned out to be a complete nuisance during some levels of notpron even with the suggested third party extension that the bulletin boards reccomended.

Hmm... having had my problem solved for me (below (http://www.livejournal.com/users/venta/145948.html?thread=2285852#t2285852)) you might want to try the same and see if it works for you.
