Greg,
As I stated at the outset this is all very tongue in cheek, The "rules" we apply state that a number should be specified in the song. However we acknowledge that many songs do not contain a specific number thus one, two, lots, (three) many (four). This way both establishments are playing on a level playing field. If we took it to it's logical conclusion such songs would have to be excluded. In the Irish Rover there's eight million bales of nanny goats tails, having looked extensively at nanny goats tails we decided at it take at least 4 to make a bundle, them being tapered and all that, thus 32 million goats are added to the total. You get the picture!!.So far this is the best death tally in any one song we've got
