So, Sumer Is Icumen In...

Has anybody ever tackled translating that in a way that's, you know, singable? Because the original is very singable, and the translations make sense, but I've yet to find a translation that fits, well, any meter, let alone that one! Google is failing me, and I really don't like singing songs in another language which that pretty nearly is. I worry that a native speaker (or the equivalent) will overhear me and laugh. Yes, these are the things that worry me.

Yeah. They're probably rubbing their anal glands against the trees, similar to the way tomcats spray, and it may well smell like farts to humans.

This may be TMI, but male dogs also have anal glands, which sometimes get clogged and need to be expressed. IMHO this is a job for the vet, because I assisted with it once, and ewwwwwwww. Horrible smell. Biology is always so gross.
