I don't think the song has any meaning really, it's just that it all goes together well. A bit like the song '10 Green Bottles' it is just that it it is fun to sing, espesially when you have had one too many drinks.

I agree, though i once heard a symbolism of the song listed out, with the partridge in a pear tree being Jesus. I don't believe it. The world needs more nonsense, dammit!

I love the line 'Five Gold Rings' Don't know why? I just do! So all together now "Five Gold Rings", Four calling birds, Three french hens, Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree.

The best thing about the song is trying to remember all of the damn lines when half-inebriated...it's bad enough when perfectly sober!

The key is to assign audial cues. For example, 4 calling birds is "Quack Quack" and 10 lords(or however many it is) a leaping is "Uff!" then a BAM!

That's not really what I meant. You have people singing both.
