Hi,

Yeah, when watching part of another tube from the series I realised the whole foreground were soloists and they unmentioned sing along on each-other's songs. If you don't agree with my interpretation there, than just ignore it; my computer can't handle the definition of today's tubes very well, so things often look slightly different for me.

"Sunday" works wonderful, both for the connection with church and with Sunday dress. Of course, somebody is going to be insulted by the removal of the LORD from the song.


Well, you'd need a version of the "the likes" verse to start the song. Apart from Arkansas and Nword, we have:
- A great big sailor with his sea boots on (Lori Archer Sutherland)
- There's a pretty gal asleep with a blue dress on (Snuffy)
- Sheep in the meadow, cows in the corn. (Holler Jimmy Hiley Ho)

None of them great alternatives, I'd say. Unless anyone knows other alternatives, I'd say it's pretty much Arkansas or burst.

Bye,
