Old Gum Tree by barryvan published on 2014-10-13T09:18:17Z Nursery rhymes have recently become a much more prominent part of my day-to-day life: a not unexpected development when you have a four-month-old son. :) I don't, however, see why they should always be quite so staid and boring -- or, for that matter, distressingly cheerful. Out of these thoughts, then, came this piece -- an electronic rendition of "Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree", put into a minor key for fun and profit. I should, of course, also note that Ben, Ariel, and I have our own special version of the lyrics: Benedict sits on his daddy's knee, counting all the monkeys he can see. "None! Daddy, there are none! Daddy there are no monkeys here but me!" Genre nursery rhyme
