I do. I forget where I found it. In my opinion, it's extremely monontonous. Jim's version is at least fun. This recording is more something that would make me poke my eardrums out with a screwdriver if I had to listen to it continually.

I can just imagine it, but if you REALLY want to torture them, bring in the most bland singer you can think of. Somebody like Sam the Eagle. You know-

"Ahem. (cough, cough) Mah-NA, MAH-na."
"NOOOOOO!"

What if I say shave and a haircut?
Anyone know where or what the original song for "shave and a hair cut" came from?

According to Rader in an episode of M*A*S*H, it's from the Barber of Seville. :wink:

Some people might not consider it that bad, but there's very little variation, especially in the chorus. I found a link to it here.

How a man could manage to sing that constantly is beyond me...
