Thread Name: Folk Songs In Movie Soundtracks
Subject: RE: Folk Songs In Movie Soundtracks
Right, Seamus K. That's the cho. One of the verses starts out about an Irish boy "...leaving his native home to cross the wide Atlantic, where (something, something) roam...". The other verse talks about finding a wife, settling down in life, gathering his children around his knee, where he would "...teach them the same lesson that my mother she told to me -- WHICH IS,..." then that cho. again.
erictr, there was also "Show me the way to go home" in that movie.
And I wish some clever person would do something with "You're gonna need a bigger boat" that would make it a classic song. Deserves it.
BTW, I have long felt that someone should write something really strong, cutting, biting, ironic, pointed, ungentle with the phrase from "Wizard of Oz"-- "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain; IIII am the great and powerful wizzud ..." Seems like now is the needed time....      Tw
