Ah I remember when I was in Avignon there was a group of girl guides singing 'sur le Pont' as it were.

It was actually a bit weird...

I remember in primary school we had to play that song on recorders in a concert and I was sick everywhere :frown:

As a result of the song?
Sounds like a good memory there.

Why is I have a vague memory of a video about a little boy being horribly injured with a chisel or something?

Louis Braille. That's the one. We watched this thing at school (The Magic Grandad or something perhaps?) where the children sung Frere Jacques and got taken back in time to meet Mr Braille. I think.

Was it actually a french song? I presume it is, but I never even questioned it as a kid, and my recollection of the words (much the same as Clarence's) don't sound very French!

Morning bells are ringing, morning bells are ringing,
Ding dang dong, ding dang dong.

Ah yes, I vaguely recall that.
How close was Clarence's phonetic spelling then?
