Inbetween bouts of arse scratching and getting the kettle on for Mrs Musket getting back from ringing, I just counted the previous "lyrics req'" threads recently and for the previous 30 threads, only four, (although I may be mistaken of course, relying on my head) are for songs that would fit in the old fashioned 1954 absurdity.

And this is a folk website if I'm not mistaken?

At a gig the other night, I got into a conversation about 1954, and after explaining what it was to two professional folk musicians, they had a giggle about how in those days, everything from working mens' clubs to pigeon fanciers had to have committees, so the more pompous fools could feel important. One person (who just about everybody here has heard of) let a fart go (quite impressive) and asked if it could be tabled as a motion...

You see, there is a difference between stamp collecting and posting letters...
