Thread Name: Lyr Req: Song about Baba Yaga?
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Song about Baba Yaga?
And I have to own up about Maurice Ravel. The lyric I recalled does no more than "name-drop" Baba Yaga -- "babaiaga" in the original French -- along with a lot of other boogeypersons. It's from the third of Ravel's "Trois Chansons" called "ronde," which I think means "rondo." Written around 1915.
