Ohman, I remember that one! And I know Pick A Bale exists, I've got it on an old folk CD somewhere.

Do you remember those song books that everyone had in primary school? There'd be class sets and an accompanying CD or tape and we all had to sing along? Anyway, that's where I original remember 'Pick a Bale' from, not that we ever got to sing it. We always did the songs on recycling and bridge building, randomly.

Its not that I get that song stuck in my head, I just know it from childhood well, well enough that I used it in my writing.
