Ode to Bones

Little ditty used by the Irish Board of Health (An Bórd Sláinte) and the Irish Food Board (An Bórd Bía) in an advertisement promoting the goodness of milk (late 80s - early 90s). It can oft be heard hummed or slurred drunkenly when anyone mentions calcium, bones or milk as it's a catchy tune:

Dem bones, dem bones need* calcium;
Dem bones, dem bones need* calcium;
Dem bones, dem bones need* calcium;
And dat's* de natural law.

*pause

So Mr. Bones, it seems the population of Ireland has been drunkenly singing your health all these years ;)
