    It's an artificial language intended for use in songs and consisting of many broad vowels and resonant consonants. I know that Enya has some compositions using it.

    Spot on Corkgirl and Srameen. It is indeed E4 - the highest pitched string in the conventional tuning of a guitar.

    Both of you are credited with exactly the same time and I therefore call the result a tie!

    As a consequence I invite both of you to submit a question :).

    A counting horse indeed! Clever Hans was a horse that was believed to be able to perform arithmetic tasks.

    another lyric question ... same as before but a tad more tricky due to the number of cover versions.

    An old cowboy came riding out one dark and stormy day ........

    Original singer please.
