Tom Lehrer - Clementine
I should like to consider the folk song, and expand briefly on a theory I have held for some time, to the effect that the reason most folk songs are so atrocious is that they were written by the people. If professional songwriters had written them instead, things might have turned out considerably differently. For example, consider the old favorite, with which, I'm sure, you're all familiar, ";Clementine";, you know:

Clehementina, Clehementina, Clehe-he-mentina...
Herring boxes senza topses sandalae per Clementina,
Herring boxes senza topses sandalae per Clementina,
