    This spectacularly-popular single was at the top of a list in the "Guinness Book of Records" for over 50 years, but the person who made it commented that a certain type of bird with an oral deformity could have sung the song successfully. What is it, and what, precisely, did the vocalist say?

    		Ok, this is 'White Christmas' by Irving Berlin, but introduced by Bing Crosby who commented that "a jackdaw with a cleft palate could have sung it successfully."
