BACKGROUND INFO ON THIS TOPIC: This song resulted from our interest in the linguistic phenomenon Word-Pairs, and eventually resulted in the development of extensive lists ('compendia]) of various types, and in the development of nine parody-songs about this fascinating form of wordplay. If you go to our 'full-service' blog "Edifying Nonsense", you can find this instructive material.
