Subject: RE: Req/ADD: Slap Bang, Here We Are Again -

[Marginal, but not completely off topic]

A music camp I attended in 2000 and 2001 in W Va used to do the following:

   Crash! Bang! [slamming cutlery down on table] here we are again,
   Here we are again, here we are again;
   Crash! Bang! [slamming cutlery] here we are again,
   In the Dining Hall.

That's it. No verse, no origin myth, hardly a tune (more a chant); just an ongoing custom, enacted "as loudly and obnoxiously as possible" [my characterization].
