Greensleeves is almost 500 years old. I'm sure there were other very popular songs when it came out, but Greensleeves had to staying power to still be here. What do you think is today's Greensleeves? (en.wikipedia.org)

Not just a song that can be found in the archives, but one that almost everyone can hum, even today.

(Somebody asked what was meant by "today's...." Throw whatever you want out, somebody tossed out "Love me tender" as being a tune from in the 1860s.)

Hmm. Well, I haven't gotten any invites to orgies. The only possible, logical reason is that it's a plus-premium thing.

On a serious note, if anyone's an American who's serious about relocating to Canada and not just memeing, I'd get moving on it now. We have a massive housing shortage, and things would get sticky politically if there was a big wave of people pushing prices up even more.
