quicko: john who?

This is sad, folks, brace yourselves. Ready? Australians do not know who John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt is. Much less that his name is my name, too.

Your post sent me straight to wikipedia to satisfy my curiosity: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Jacob_Jingleheimer_Schmidt

The reason why Australians don't know the song is that it was probably from German-American vaudeville acts from the late 1800s or early 1900s.

I guess that means that there is less shouting in Australia then, too.
