    I just played this for my daughter. She didn't realise it was actually a real song, and all her life (she's now 24), she wondered why I'd go 'round saying, "I like strangling budgies, I'm what you call an animal lover", etc.,. Now she knows.

    Did he ever find out in the end who actually did kill his brother? It would be deemed a cold case if it hadent been solved by now.

      I think that it was Johns dodgy mota that killed his brother.

    I haven't heard this since about 1985. Probably a reason for that.
