Here's a funny conversation about this song in my class. Kid: Did they sing to me like that when I was born? Teacher: Were you born in the 60's or 70's? Kid: Nope, 80's. Teacher: Than no, they probably didn't. Just wanted to share that!

Not really a song persay, just a tranisiton to 1921. Still, excellent singing. Gotta love that high voice.
