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.

I feel like I'm being eaten by a thousand million shivering furry holes

On an irrelevant note, I'm getting carried away with this unknown hero business. The Designated Hero of the Week is again someone I've never met. This week my hero is mpinna, without whose help I wouldn't have got Glastonbury tickets. If anyone would like to point him out to me, should we be in the same location, I promised him a pint.

An honourable mention also to j4 for ticket-related assistance rendered (and for not laughing at me too much when I demonstrated that I couldn't use a phone correctly).
