For a (non AGS) game I'm making I need some help from the community (that's you!). This game is based upon a children's song called 'Cowboy Billie Boem' in Dutch. It's one of those silly songs you sing around a campfire wherein a bounty hunting cowboy finds himself without a horse so he needs to switch to another animal to continue the chase. Any animal can be inserted in the lyrics and it can be repeated ad nauseam.
Now I KNOW there's an English/American version of the song (because I stumbled upon it a while back) but I can't for the life of me find it again! Does anybody know what this song is called in English?
Here's a Dutch version of the song:

Just had a good Google session, but came up empty handed.
It turns out there is already a game called Cowboy Billy Boom though: http://www.freeonlinegames.com/game/cowboy-billy-boom
We used to sing a song in cubs that went a little something like this:
Picture a cowboy
all dressed in red,
fell off his horse
and busted his head.
There was blood on the saddle,
blood on the ground,
great big blobs of blood all around.
(next verse, same as the first
a little bit louder and a little bit worse)
Ah yes - good find! Our game is going to be different, and most likely not called Cowboy Billy Boom (which is why I'm looking for the English title).
Also that song is pretty grim, haha! :grin:
Wikipedia calls them either repetitive songs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repetitive_song) or unboundedly long songs, but the list they have is terrible, and neither term helped much when googling.
There needs to be a version of google that only searches through websites you've read in the past, you'd find it in no time.

No way! While asian lesbian porn is the answer to many questions, it not the answer to
every question! Sometimes I need to think outside the box, as it were. :=
And sorry, Miez. I didn't turn up anything either. :sealed:
Oh, it'd need SafeSearch on for sure.
Yeah Esseb, that would make a great search option ... anyway - thanks all you guys for taking a look! I'm not giving up yet :D
