Singsong Lolz

I've had an evening of tootling round Wikipedia and got onto the category of English folk songs - most of which I've never heard of, but Uncle Tom Cobley made me lol because it's a mumbly song.

Let me explain - or rather, invoke Eddie Izzard's explanation of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" - how no-one can remember the "Twelve......" things and so mumble them or make them up ('Eight socks a-swimming') until the line "Five Gold Rings" that everyone knows and sings really loudly to make up for the mumbling earlier. Uncle Tom Cobley has this, a list of names no-one can ever remember, but then everyone loudly joins in at the end with "Aaand Uncle Tom Cobley AND AWWLLLL!!"

It made me lol, anyway. I remember people used to sing it a lot on television variety shows when I was small.
