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.

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).

Date: 2004-04-07 06:23 am (UTC)Incidentally, if I call it America instead of the British National Anthem, will you be happy? I was just being a silly when I did that, that's the song I know the words to...

Have you ever tried playing the egg slicer?

Date: 2004-04-07 06:29 am (UTC)My country 'tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
Of thee I sing
Land where my fathers died
Land of the pilgrim's pride
From every mountainside, let freedom ring!
But to be a snot I said it was the other one when I was thinking OUR version.
Never seen an eggslicer.

Date: 2004-04-07 06:33 am (UTC)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.
