I no longer have to scroll down to get to the Forum link.
The pull-down at the top of the page is better, but it's still two clicks instead of one.
How 'bout regular hyperlinks following Home | Downloads | Site Map | Support | What's New?
That way, I can use the mouse for one click, or I can use the keyboard to navigate to a hyperlink that's not so far down the page.

For two bits I'd give you the answer.

Oh, that Barry.
He means it's "Shave and a Haircut...Two Bits!"
A bit equals 12½¢ (one-eighth of a dollar).
I have also heard "Shave and a Haircut...Bay Rum!"
from this lady who hired me once to "calligraph" her Favorite Family Songs.

Hey, while we're at it...
Can we get rid of "Jingle Bells" please?
It ain't winter no more.
Replace it with something that's not seasonal.
How about Fred Nachbaur's suggestion (Reply 11) of the opening motive of Beethoven's fifth symphony?

Terribly funny discussion about this tune; thoroughly enjoyed it (absolutely not kidding). And y'all helped me as well: I was looking for the best translation of 'to tap shave-and-a-haircut'. Now I know the rhythm, but am still looking for a Dutch equivalent...

PLEASE!
It's bad enough I have to hear Elmo sing the tune every day
(with text like "Ball, ball, ball; ball, ball, ball; ball, ball, ball, b'ball;
or "Shoe, shoe, shoe..." or whatever).
I am so sick of "Jingle Bells!"

A Dutch equivalent? Hmmm...

Het Vlooiencircus, van het Cocktailtrio heeft het geprobeerd.
en in-een dubbele salto - terug!

The Flea Circus, by our erstwhile famous Coctail Trio, tried.
As above.
Rob.

I can't stand "Jingle Bells" in July!

But it is winter!  (For about half the planet, anyway.)  But I do agree - Jingle Bells is never good in July.  I don't particularly like it any time.

Cheers from wintery Canberra!

Then, of course, what do we replace it with?
