'Puff the Magic Dragon'

Over here thought to be a fine folk song by many Chinese. Where the hell have they heard it as during the time of its release the country was in the throws of the cultural revolution.

When requested Big Paul Curran (our singer) just replies "I dont do Puffs"

'Morningtown Ride' by the Seekers should also be there. Sorry Oz'.

I too remember dance and song classes at primary school. Loved 'Hearts of Oak' and 'Donkey Riding', but being kids we all used to try and thing of alternative words which in Scotland meant a crack across the hands with the tawse.
