When I was taking my public speaking class we were told to bring in a song and then we had to make an outline of the song. Nobody else in class had ever heard The Ballad of Yarmouth Castle and since I (being older) brought a song in that you could understand (verses the ones that use nothing but profanity over and over again) I was asked to bring it in. Even the youngies were impressed.
