[edit] info

Is it worth adding a note that the traditional way to sabotage this particularly repetitive (annoying) song is to suggest that Old MacDonald had a rabbit, which of course are silent... Graldensblud 23:12, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Do you have a source la la la for the claim that such usage is traditional?

In my experience, Old MacDonald's rabbits hop-hop here and hop-hop there. Nareek 07:45, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Not that I can cite, no. Merely have encountered it in several distinct instances. Perhaps "common" might be a better term. Graldensblud 18:54, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] McDonald (MacDonald)

Does anyone know if the "McDonald" (or MacDonald) was originally in reference to a real person? 68.40.65.164 (talk) 01:48, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
