I did consider learning Danish at one point, but then I found a translation of The little trolls and the great flood and the moment passed.

It's worth noting* that Span also did a version of Sir Olof ("Dance with me"); this suggests either that someone in the band had Danish antiquarian leanings or that some other band or singer had put this stuff back into circulation. Perhaps the Orcadian band Nerd mentioned on the other thread?

I've never owned a copy of Commoner's crown, but I don't remember it being that bad. I've recently got hold of All around my hat and Rocket cottage ("Steeleye Span: the Wombling years") and even they aren't that bad. Maybe I'm just easily pleased.

*I invariably mistype this phrase as "It's worth nothing". Probably truer than I'd like to think!
