The <I>complete</I> song was written for the 1901 play "Treasure Island". However, <B>the first verse</B>, which I have just shared with you, was written by <B>Robert Louis Stevenson</B> himself for his novel "Treasure Island" (first published in 1883).<BR/><BR/>Now try to get THAT one out of your head! ;)Gilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04883446357030352434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058669311925760898.post-14887865917307440672009-02-27T12:11:00.000-07:002009-02-27T12:11:00.000-07:00So funny because when I heard that word, I could o...So funny because when I heard that word, I could only think vaguely of a cow chewing its cud (you know the food it already swallowed and brought back up to chew some more). I think that is the original ruminating maybe, so it makes such perfect sense to call it that when we are bringing the exact same stuff up in our brains. <BR/><BR/>Now, if you will exscuse me I need to go dance a little disco like thanks to your last paragraph.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03045958241240870948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058669311925760898.post-42195893807258375052009-02-26T16:00:00.000-07:002009-02-26T16:00:00.000-07:00They have used that song in so many movies, how co...They have used that song in so many movies, how could I not. Sorry, I totally hi-jacked your comments with all the lyrics. I do actually know all the lyrics, but I cheated and cut and pasted them here, 'cause I'm lazy.<BR/><BR/>OK, soon as my cough has taken a hike, we are so doing this karaoke. Your house though, OK, since singing really is not my talent.
