Since it was Canada Day and all I thought I would reminisce about this choice little vignette. I think while it was played on TV I found it incredibly annoying but now its just a little piece of Canadian TV history. Did you know that the song says "birling" rather than "whirling" which was apparently a Scots word for revolve but now is defini of revolving logs. People still compete in birling competitions though I am not sure where.
