Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: GUEST,stringsinger Date: 09 Nov 08 - 02:18 PM I knew the song as the "Ball of Ballymuire". OK, you asked for it. My step-father sang this in the Merchant Marine. "Christopher Columbo". "They sailed past San Salvador in search of shining booty, A naked whore lay on the beach, my God she was a beauty. The sailor boys jumped overboard divesting shirts and collars. In fifteen minutes by the clock, she made ten-thousand dollars. Christopher Columbo, He thought the world was round-O! That masterbaiting, fornicating son-of-a bitch Columbo." (There is some truth in the sentiment since Columbus was a mass-murderer and exterminated the Taino and the Arawak Indians in San Salvador. Why they have Columbus Day in the States as a holiday I don't know. Frank |

Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: Joe_F Date: 08 Nov 08 - 08:50 PM Lighter: Is "Nine Auld Hoors" perhaps an expansion of Four Old Whores of Liverpool? There is quite a bit about that one. |
Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: Joe Offer Date: 08 Nov 08 - 04:07 PM I dunno, Kenny. "Nine Auld Hoors" seems to be an appropriate song to post in a thread titled Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know. If people don't like it, they shouldn't be looking in a thread titled "Filthy Songs." -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 07 Nov 08 - 08:15 PM The first song that I ever wrote that was worth remembering. I still sing it, but even in these days of (relative) permissiveness, fairly innocent as the song is, I don't find too many audiences where I have nerve to sing it.

Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: Musket Date: 07 Nov 08 - 03:53 AM Ah well, Adge Cutler decided to make it almost printable when he did his version of The Ball of Kerriemuir. Being a Somerset lad, he changed the first verse to Four and twenty maidens came down from Portishead When the ball was over, the maidens lost their heads. Funny how songs evolve... To be funny enough for most audiences, a song has to imply, have double entendres or have the audience thinking one thing and the punch line is not lewd at all. Many entertainers can do this. However, as this is about folk songs as we perceive them, I agree with a posting somewhere up the screen that says The Bonny Black Hare is a good song. It certainly isn't double meaning! Shows the minds of our great great great grandads... |

Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: GUEST,Duncan McLeerie Date: 06 Nov 08 - 02:08 PM Surprised no-one's mentioned "The Great Plenipotentiary", said to have been composed by an eighteenth-century military man. Sample verse: "The next to be tried was an alderman's bride Whose cunt would have swallowed a turtle; She had horn'd the dull brows of her worshipful spouse Till they sprouted like Venus's myrtle; But he rammed her so full she roar'd out like a bull, And her cunt frothed like cream in a dairy So tight was she stuck by that wonderful fuck Of the great Plenipotentiary" To the tune of "Sean Buidhe" |

Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: frogprince Date: 03 Sep 08 - 08:14 PM I was stationed on a submarine tender on Guam in 1965-66; Since then I've always had a weakness for "Didn't She Ramble", as recorded by Oscar Brand. "She", in this case, is "Miss VD of Guam". The first time I tried to find the lyric online, all I could find was references to the obscenity trial that ensued when the record came out. It's definitely eligible for the list. |

Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: GUEST,TJ in San Diego Date: 02 Sep 08 - 05:25 PM I once heard a mock-Irish song, to the tune of "Turkey in the Straw," I think, the last two lines of the chorus being, "Try to get a woman, get a woman if you can, If you can't get a woman, get a clean old man!" Ms. Easby's take is quite to the point. Much of this thread deals with juvenile, sophomorish, sniggering, pre-pubescent and crude material - which is exactly why so many of us responded to it, I'm sure. |
Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: Steve Gardham Date: 02 Sep 08 - 05:01 PM Billy, British versions of 'Tiddly Wink' utilise the tune 'Sailor's Hornpipe' aka 'Jacky Tar' as opposed to 'Turkey in the Straw'. |
