<< Er, Melissa...the original of the song wasn't about ears. I seem to recall
 it was originally a bawdy song, and referred to men's anatomy (hint: they
 come in pairs). Your breast rendition follows close to the original. Likely
 the breast version has a long tradition, too.

Well, well.  One never knows what one is going to learn on Lactnet.  I only
had EVER known the ears version....and am still puzzling over the "throwing
them over the shoulder....given Margery's version.  At least now we know that
breasts can do that....
