The two songs that are always liable to crack me up - and they are particularly in my thoughts this week, with the 90th anniversary of the Armistice and it seems everything on TV (everything worth watching, that is) is about the Great War - are The Whitsun Dances and Home Lads Home.

I remember one song session with that second song, someone else was singing it and at the end he said that that was the only song he knew where rather than more people joining in, there were people dropping out, choked. Which was just what had happened.

I think I'm actually more liable to crack up with those when I'm singing alone than when I'm singing to others. Or joining in the chorus for that matter.
