At Ymir one or two years ago, while a bunch of us entered in a bardic 
competition were waiting for the judges to get settled, we all 
spontaneuosly started  singing a Viking version of "The Lion Sleeps tonight"
In the longship, the mighty longship, the Viking sleeps tonight...
Near the villiage, the peaceful villiage, the Viking sleeps tonight...
All with emphatic, nordic sounding 
A-weep-a-WUMPs in the background.  I really enjoyed it.  This kind of 
thing i silly, and as I have said, silly is good.  But it is also good to 
remember it's place.  For example, I would never play kazoos as the king 
walks into court (unless Lord Efen becomes king, and then it's no holds 
bard!)
Aye,
Eogan
