More on the origins of this song on the Wikipedia (yeah I wrote this article, or most of it.)

Stuff you didn't know: Song was partly based on Sherman's son Robert's first camp experience: http://www.petabit.com/steve/LATimes_Granada.html

Robert is now a TV Producer: http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0792564/

Song has been translated not only into Swedish (where it's now a popular folk tune) but also Esperanto and Dutch.

Song was the basis for:
* A children's book
* A travelling theatric revue
