Is this by any chance related to the fiddle tune "Nail That Catfish to a Tree" ??

Hmmm. Always up for a good challenge. How about Nail That Catfish To A Tree? That one I can find. . . . Maybe Watermelon Hanging On The Vine? I have to confess to coming up completely empty on Salmon, and quickly, too!

I see that Les had the same idea while I was hunting (fishing?) the net with every weapon at my disposal.

I am reminded of a very silly thing we used to do as small children; it was kind of a riddle and joke all rolled into one, and it took at least 2 people in the know to tell:
Q: What's green, hangs on the wall, and whistles?
A: (gives up)
Q: A mackerel.
A: But a mackerel isn't green!
Q: So paint it green!
A: And a mackerel doesn't hang on the wall!
Q: So hang it on the wall!
A: But it doesn't whistle!
Q: So it doesn't whistle... I just put that in to make it harder.

The catfish tune sounds to me as if it is meant to be a harmony to some other tune.

BTW, for those of you who have never skinned a catfish, nailing the head to a tree is thought of in many circles as being the most efficient way to hold the fish in place while the skinning is being done.

Reminds me of the terrible old dead baby jokes from the 70's... or whenever it was...
