As I keep saying, I don't actually know a lot, but maybe the most important of the few things I DO know is how to use the Internet. That, and that someone loves me.

Explanation:
Also based on the song sung by Shirley Temple here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNwFXLcrsbc

Right, Roy's link wasn't visible when I posted; in any case, he posted it in the wrong place (KudoZ rule 1.3)
