The earliest I remember hearing it was 1988, but I knew it so it must have been earlier. We sang it with gestures for about 15 or 20 minutes at the end of Bali Interhash. As far as I know, most hashes worldwide use that song at the end or their after running festivities. To me it was and is a matter of respect and significance for our shared camaraderie. Others over the years add various verses I consider disrespectful and I don't sing them. But I respect other's versions and I demand that my version be respected also and not banned for some Bull Shite political correctness. Think of how many Christian hymns were turned into risqué songs.
