MGM·Lion | Same tunes (87* d) | RE: Same tunes | 12 Jul 14 |
One needs to distinguish, I think, between the songs which traditionally share a tune [eg Dives & Laz/Star Of Cty Down], and new, often comic songs, set to familiar, "everyone-knows", tunes, as with above-mentioned The Thing to Lincs Poacher. The Thing's format, of course, derives from The Farm Servant ["And there was I with me 'knock·knock·knock', So a-courting we fell straight way"], but not melodically. |
