Later: In comments at the bottom of this post, Jorn Barger of Robot Wisdom points to nine more versions he's found. The standout among them is by Pollo Del Mar and it's on their site as an mp3. You might want to dance to it.

Thanks, Jorn. I watched dozens of videos, and this must be a hard song to sing -- everybody seems to turn it into a nursery rhyme. The instrumentals are usually looser. I'm now thoroughly sick of the song. But it still beats Sweet Caroline. Sox could use a new song.
