It's GREAT because that's the signature hook (for lack of a better word) of the song... 10 lords a-leaping, 8 maids a-milking, 7 swans a-swimming, 6 geese a-laying. What other song do you hear that in??? Why don't we try to match those and it will really sound authentic... (still lacking a better word). I still like "cracked bridge and several bare keys" for the 1st day.</DIV> <DIV>It's getting addictive. That song is in my head too much now!
