Johnny J, when I was in late primary school or early high school we learned to sing Ash Grove and I loved the lyrics but especially the melody. It also appealed to me because my Grandmother was Welsh.

In late high school, one of the teenage boys from the nearby boys' high school started singing some racy lyrics to the tune of Ash Grove and it totally ruined the song for me. It was difficult to regain my love of the song for many, many years because that memory tainted its innocence for me.

I've never heard the vege version of the song but I probably would have just thought that one was funny.
