Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Crazy Old Man From China
Does anyone remember the tune? Did it have it's own or was it from something else?

Looking back at some of the earlier posts - I serioulsy doubt that there was any intent to insult anyone with this song. No more so than say - This Little Piggy, etc. Children's songs don't have to do anything else but entertain. Young children have no bias. They only learn about bias from the adults and older children around them. Can't they just be silly without everyone worrying about offending someone or something?

I was out of the country a couple of years ago and it was a pleasure to hear three children happily singing "Baa, Baa Black Sheep" with no thought of hurting anyone's feelings except maybe the person looking to buy wool.
