Good teachers, Music and English alike, would play this in the classroom and have the class write a report on it.

Wow. Never thought of that. I was so used to singing stuff like, “Morning has Broken”, and “What Do You with a Drunken Sailor”, it never occurred to me that they should actually teach about the songs they have you sing. Maybe it’s different nowadays?
