Oh dear! Elmore, you're missing the bloody point. How the heck can you compare the odd concert performance of the song ( probably sung to a bunch of people the wrong side of 60 yrs old) with the day by day, year by year, encounters that countless numbers of children, parents and grand-parents have with the Zoo song. I'm beginning to think that too much exposure to folk music dulls a persons reasoning faculties. BTW, if the Zoo song was performed at ANY concert ( from the Proms to a heavy metal show ) I bet MOST of the audience could sing along with it...and waves their arms like an elephant's trunk!
