In keeping with our need to pick the ONE HUNDRED BEST of various things lately, please allow me to propose a new survey:

For years I've seen ads for "The Greatest Symphony Themes Ever"--(only the well know parts) sold in sets for very little money from Readers Digest & other place.

Years ago, radio station WFMT-FM in Chicago created an ad for a book called "Great Square Inches Of Art"---filled with only the best square inches from the great paintings of the world---a Botticelli cheek, a Rubens buttox, a Cezanne apple segment, a Grant Wood hayfork tyne tip, a square from a Monet water lilly, a Divinci genital, a square from a Dali watch, an actual replica of square from a Rodin bulging bicep suitable for use as a paperweight--etc., etc.

My idea here is for us to see if we can agree on the hundred (or so) favorite/best single WORDS from any folksong in any language!!

I would like to start with these words:

dogies

cuckoo

Abulbul

Ameer

cataleptics

sharpshootress

exhautionized

levee

cuckoo

long-haired-preachers (one word 'cause it's hyphenated)

diddle (v.)

juberju

El-a-noy
