'Venezuela' - is that the song starting
'I met her in Venezuela with a basket on her head'?

I've got this on a Rita Connolly CD, where it is listed as Trad. You seem more or less agreed it was really written by Niles and passed off as Trad.

I have wondered about the song. It's got an air of 'faux naiveté' about it - too contrived for a trad. song, I thought. Looks like my instincts were right! Thanks.
