Erm....! Not sure what to say about the elephant tune.... Over here
it's a popular nursery rhyme, "Boys and girls come out to play"

It's all about rebellious children who "Leave their supper and leave
their sleep and join their playfellows in the street."

My favourite nursery rhyme, and I seem to remember that the PG book
makes quite a lot of the psychological significance of it being Lynda's
favourite too.
