Darowyn Nominations for 'new' traditional songs (151* d) RE: Nominations for 'new' traditional songs 14 Feb 11


"Wedding celebrations have elevated any number of songs into apparently permanent significance, the B-52s Love Shack, Abba's Dancing Queen and Village People's YMCA among them. I expect many such songs to endure beyond the life span of those who can remember their original release. "

That is the trouble with folks!
They will insist on adding customs and ceremonies which fail to meet the approved standards.
It is the duty of every right-minded and properly-educated person to revile and suppress such things, in the fine old tradition of the 19th and early 20th century collectors.
We can't have people making up their own traditions!
"tis flying in the face of nature!"
