Erm - not sure I understand the point of the post.

Are you objecting to the fact she didn't know the words or are you saying that she had been taught a bowdlerised version to avoid saying the word "black"?

Either way - and however sweet a little girl she was - I think it would wear a bit thin if she went on like this for any length of time.

I wish my DS(4) would learn the rest of the sodding tune to the Star Wars Death March. I've tried and tried but all he sings is "Ner ner ner ner ni ner ner ni ner. Ner ner ner ner ni ner ner ni ner." OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

A child singing such a song ONCE ONLY is sweet and enchanting. One word of a reprise turns child into deeply irritating presence whose parents need to take immediate action if they are all out in public.

I heard a mum hiss at her child to shut up singing "skip to my lou" (is it lou?) Confused

I was quite sad for him as i thought it sounded so sweet. It hadnt occurred to me that it was perhaps the millionth time his mum had heard it that day! Grin

'Led it go, led it go..' Has to be 'led' not let, to incorporate the Hollywood Scandinavian twang
