And it's really amazing when you consider that many of these, I was unaware I knew how to play on a standard piano!

Note that when I say "play on a kiddy xylophone" I mean "you probably have to skip a few notes or shift a few sections into another octave" for the vast majority of them... some of these, though, are fully playable with no modifications.

The Willow Tree
The Three Ravens
False Lamkin
The British National Anthem
Danny Boy

As well as various christmas carols, which I don't feel like listing. Amazing.

Now I'm going to learn how to play Danny Boy on my Ocarina. It has a few more notes then a kiddy xylophone, so it shouldn't be hard ^-^

On a completely unrelated note, I uploaded that Mp3 of Eggbert and Reaper saying nasty and stupid things about the Powerpuff Movie. It gets me in a bad mood everytime I listen to it though, because it's one of my favorite movies and pretty much all of what they're saying is just plain untrue. Anyway, Here ya go (http://www.philkpress.com/joey/stuff/020708_powerpuff_girls_movie.mp3).

Please don't play the national anthem. Sure, it fits on there entirely without modulating, but it's truly not worth it. I don't even recognise the first three songs...

What is the American national anthem again? See, there are a few songs that I can think of that it could be.

Wait, got it. Now to get out the xylophone.

Hm? You lost me there.

Got the Star Spangled Banner down on recorder, anyway, but not on xylophone since two of the keys are flat anyway, it does no sharps and it's two notes short, at least. I can play america from West Side Story on it, though, oddly enough.

Have you ever tried playing the egg slicer?

Never seen an eggslicer? It's a white thing with metal strings, and you use it to slice eggs. However, we never slice our eggs, and it makes a great musical instrument.

Those lyrics are better than God save our freeloading monarch who we don't actually want in power anyway's lyrics. I mean, take the second verse. It's all about giving her stuff. Why? She does nothing, sits around all day, shakes hands with a few people, and then we're supposed to be "on her be pleased to pour" gifts. Um, no.
