I can sing Row, row, row your boat "back to front" but to the original tune from memory:

Dream a but is life,
Merrily, merrily, merrily;
Merrily stream the down gently,
Boat your row, row, row!

Once More, With Feeling

I had ordered Season 6 of Buffy (well, half of it—episodes 1 to 11) from the public library, and we got a postcard yesterday telling us we could pick it up, which we did this morning.

So this afternoon, I watched Once More, With Feeling (episode 7): the one where people start bursting into song and dance, the musical one. 'Twas interesting. I had seen the soundtrack CD in the library previously but had never seen that episode on video before. Also had a look through the director's commentary and the behind-the-scenes documentary, as well as the karaoke tracks :)
