I've had a toy clock for as long as I can remember; when you wind up the key in its back, a music box hidden in the case plays the chorus of this song. It lives on a shelf inside the case of a grandmother clock my grandfather, a talented carpenter, built for me—on his own, not from a kit—for my third birthday.
