	can't think of this quiz without thinking about legendary 80s TV kids show 'round the twist' - aussie TV at it's best.

	One of my favorites in elementary school. She swallowed to spider to catch the fly, I don't know why she swallowed the fly ... I guess she'll die.

	She got 100000% of her DV of protein in one day.

	I sang this with my nephew years ago when he was about 3. We were having a great time until the last line with the horse and he just started bawling. The next day he asked me to sing it again but to stop at cow...lol.

	2 minutes is too long... it's such a few answers, this should be a 1-minute challenge.

	The book I read my 11 month old doesnt have the goat in it. Strange.

	How is it that fly is only the third most guessed answer?

	Blimey, Round The Twist... we had that in the UK in the 90s, loved it as a five year old. Totally forgotten about it.

	she loves swallowing things

	This is a morbid, morbid children's book. Only realized that now. Read the "Spider" line and try not to get shivers down your spine.

	Man she can unhinge her jaw something fierce.

	cappy:	Apr 23rd, 2010 at 23:18 GMT		9 points
	I agree with TJL. How does the one answer given to people in the title of the quiz end up the third most guessed and not the first?

	I never learned goat either, but it only took a few tries to come up with a farm animal larger than a dog and smaller than a cow.

	Ok, I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't remember goat either, though it has been some twenty odd years sing I sang it. And we also got Round The Twist in the late '90s in America, for one summer only! Loved it.

	@ TJL and cappy: It took me a while to get "fly". Because it was in the title of the quiz, I just dismissed it, and only when I was struggling for the last few animals did the light dawn.

	Though I, personally, found dog and cat some of the least memorable animals. Perhaps a lot of people were just guessing common animals.

	@nini: I'm American and I've never heard goat mentioned in it...

	BonnieH:	Apr 24th, 2010 at 11:07 GMT		24 points
	I'm American and I definitely remember the goat. However, I don't know the song as "Old WOMAN". It was always "Old LADY" when I was a kid (eons ago).

	Everyone knows that goats loves to eat dogs!

	ratchet1215:	Apr 24th, 2010 at 16:37 GMT		16 points
	The punchline of this song is fantastic. Good ol' children's death humor.

	My dad used to sing this to me every night before I went to sleep.

	Dunk:	Apr 24th, 2010 at 20:05 GMT		9 points
	So, in this world, goats eat dogs, cows eat goats, and horses eat cows.

	livfred:	Apr 24th, 2010 at 23:25 GMT		3 points
	I definitely learned it with a goat. Apparently Canadian goats eat dogs.
