Do you not know Postman Pat? For some reason, I just thought of Postman Pat.
Here is a video of the intro of the show from
youtube<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz-cqef5or4&feature=player_embedded>.
The song is addictive, if extremely simple.

I used to watch Postman Pat back in South Africa in the early 1990s? I think
so. My dad's name is Pat so maybe I thought he had something to do with it.
I was but a wee child back then so my memory is a bit fuzzilicious... and by
that I mean, superb. I used to go around saying "Postman Pat, Postman Pat,
Postman Pat and his something something something." I had an excellent
memory as a child and can remember fine details such as the second verses to
songs.

Postman Pat has made a splash all over the world and various countries have
their own version of this show. Apparently HBO shows it in early in the
morning?

Wikipedia says that "In 2005, Postman Pat was sold to the
Japanese<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/japan> division
of Disney Channel <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/disney_channel>, finally
putting to rest a long-standing misconception in the UK that Japanese
television would not take the series because having only three fingers and a
thumb on each hand (as Pat does) was a
Yakuza<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/yakuza> symbol.
The series is dubbed into
Japanese<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/japanese_language>
."

One can only imagine the international diplomatic problems that occurred
when Japan would not take beloved Postman Pat and make him their own. I
think the UN should have interfered earlier because it could be considered
an international crisis.

klaar.
