I had a geography teacher at school who used to refer to the jungle as the 'jung-hole'. No, I don't know why either. Apart from the fact it seemed to amuse him to do so.

That song was a favorite of mine when I was a kid, and I still find myself whistling it from time to time. Go to YouTube and check out the versions by the Weavers (with Pete Seeger) and the Kingston Trio (both of which were recorded before the Tokens made the song theirs).
Perhaps the oddest version was this one by Yma Sumac, who allegedly had a vocal range of more than four octaves.
Oh Yes. I love your taste in music. I doubt my office will be so appreciate. I'll probably be signing it all day tomorrow!! and the next ... and the next. You know how it is when you get a good one stuck in your head.
Aaaaaaaaaaaargggghhhhh....

Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away.
Aweem away, aweem away, aweem away, aweem away
aweem away, aweem away, aweem away, aweem away'
