> **RTFirefly** -I was unable to save any .swf or .php files until I installed FlashFavorite. I downloaded and saved this morning. Hope that helps.

It seems I can download it and save it; I just can’t _view_ it at home, for reasons unclear to me.

OTOH, I can play it just fine here at the office, so I’ve been doing so. Because I’m an addict, here’s the lyrics:

Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring, bananaphone  
Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring, bananaphoooone  
I got this feeling, it’s so appealing  
for us to get together and sing, SING:

Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring, bananaphone  
Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding, dananaphoooone  
It grows in bunches, I’ve got my hunches  
It’s the best, beats the rest,  
cellular, modular, interactive-odular:

Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring, bananaphone  
Ping pong ping pong ping pong ping, bananaphoooone  
It’s no baloney, it ain’t a pony  
My cellular, bananular phoooone!

Well, personally, I’d rather have a pony.

Well, at least I’ve stopped singing “Me and Bobby McGee”, implanted thanks to **Jonathan Chance’s** post [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=255737).  
I’m just not sure that that’s a good thing.

I (True Story) got stuck on the “It’s a small world” ride as a child. You made me cry.

Nearly everyone gets stuck on “it’s a small world” at some point; we’ve been backed up all the way into the Polynesian Room, before the big Grande Finale (the White Room) and the MultiLanguage SeeYaLaterRoom.

At least it’s closed 'til 2005 for renovations.
