Sukey Tawdry & Jenny Diver (& Macheath) are all characters from The Beggar's Opera (John Gay 1729); but once start admitting songs from that, & from other such works [to say nothing of operetta, musical comedy, Broadway musicals, musical films ....] to this thread, & where will be the end of it?

Songs named for, or naming, other singers are verging on a sort of incestuous, aren't they?

Cole Porter, with his superb 'lists' songs, was a master of using names - check out You're the Tops, e.g.

"You're the Tops, you're Napoleon Brandy,
You're the Tops, you're Mahatma Gandhi.

You're the rhythm of a melody by Strauss -
You're [someone someone someone someone] -
You're Mickey Mouse."

and so forth...

(From memory, you will gather — but you get the general idea...?)

A SIMPLE DESULTORY PHILIPPIC
Paul Simon


I been Norman Mailered, Maxwell Taylored.
I been John O'Hara'd, McNamara'd.
I been Rolling Stoned and Beatled till I'm blind.
I been Ayn Randed, nearly branded
Communist, 'cause I'm left-handed.
That's the hand I use, well, never mind!

I been Phil Spectored, resurrected.
I been Lou Adlered, Barry Sadlered.
Well, I paid all the dues I want to pay.
And I learned the truth from Lenny Bruce,
And all my wealth won't buy me health,
So I smoke a pint of tea a day.

I knew a man, his brain so small,
He couldn't think of nothin' at all.
He's not the same as you and me.
He doesn't dig poetry. He's so unhip that
When you say Dylan, he thinks you're talkin' about Dylan Thomas,
Whoever he was.
The man ain't got no culture,
But its alright, ma,
Everybody must get stoned.

I been Mick Jaggered, been silver daggered.
Andy Warhol, won't you please come home?
I been mothered, fathered, aunt and uncled,
Been Roy Halee'd and Art Garfunkel'd.
I just discovered somebody's tapped my phone.

A SIMPLE DESULTORY PHILIPPIC
(or how I was Lyndon Johnsoned into submission)
(alternative version)
Paul Simon - 1965


I was Union Jacked, Kerouac'd
John Birched, stopped and searched
Rolling Stoned and Beatled till I'm blind
I've been Ayn Randed, nearly branded
Communist 'cos I'm lefthanded:
That's the hand they use, well, never mind!

I've been Walt Disneyed, Dis Disleyed
John Lennoned, Krishna Menoned
Walter Brennan punched out Cassius Clay
I've heard the truth from Lenny Bruce
and all my wealth won't buy me health
So I smoke a pint of tea a day

I knew a man his brain so small,
He couldn't think of nothin' at all.
He's not the same as you and me.
He doesn't dig poetry. He's so unhip that
When you say Dylan, he thinks you're talkin' about Dylan
Thomas,
Whoever he is.
The man ain't got no culture,
But its alright, Ma,
It's just sumpthin' I learned over in England.

I've been James Joyced, Rolls Royced
Mick Jaggered, silver daggered
Andy Warhol won't you please come home?
I've been mother, fathered, aunt and uncled
Tom Wilsoned, Art Garfunkled
Barry Kornfeld's mother's on the phone

Peter Amberly, aka Peter Emberley (Amberley, etc.) was a real lad from Prince Edward Island who went to work in the lumberwoods of Miramichi, New Brunswick around 1882 (I think). He is buried in Boiestown, New Brunswick where stands a gravestone erected in the early 1960s sometime at the behest of New Brunswick folklorist, Louise Manny and New Brunswick CBC journalist Kenneth Homer. For a tonne of great information about this NB song composed by John Calhoun of Boiestown, see Louise Manny and James Reginald Wilson's excellently-researched book on New Brunswick folksongs, their 1968 monograph "Songs of Miramichi" - or, contact me at [e-mail]

Also, an interesting tidbit about this Eastern Canadian song: apparently Bob Dylan got the idea/inspiration for one of his own songs from the story of Peter Amberley/Emberley. I have heard a (bootleg?) recording of Dylan saying something at the first of one of his songs about Amberley.

Dear Snuffy,
Not being a Welsh speaker (I am Irish)-- I did wonder about using that one, myself, as the Irish language word for a ship is "long" (same word but spelled with just one letter L, and pronounced as "lung" !) but, as there are also plenty of people with the surname "Long" on both sides of the Irish Sea , I chanced that, combined with the word Captain. it was more likely a surname in this case.
Apologies for guessing wrongly and Ta Muchly for the timely correction, which I really do appreciate as misinformation can be really annoying. I will try to be more careful in future.
God Bless,
Anne XX

I'm afraid "llong" is a Welsh word for "ship", so Capten llong is not a name but simply means "ship's captain"

Captain Kidd (from the trad song "The Ballad of Captain Kidd")
Willie MacIntosh (from the Scottish song "The Burning of Auchindoun")
Parson Hawker (from Cornish songwriter Mike O'Connor's song "The Tregarten Anthem")

That's it folks! I've run dry, for now. Apologies if I've listed names that have already been posted.

I'm catching the ferry to Ireland tonight to firstly visit with my grand children and to represent Cornwall, along with Tom Paddle, Pol Hodge and Jane Ninnis at the Pan Celtic Festival in Donegal Town (April 14th to 19th). If you are in the area check it out !!
I will be attempting to fill in for Cornwall's well known mistress of song, Moe Keast, who was scheduled to be the main Cornish representative at Pan Celtic 2009 (and who has been a previous winner in the song competitions at this festival) but, she is now unable to travel, due to the very sad loss of her mother, earlier this week. Please spare some kind thoughts and prayers for Moe and her family at this sad time in their lives.

One of the songs I will be singing on Moe's behalf, in competition at the festival, was written by Mudcat's very own singer/ songwriter "Hawker" !! Moe fell in love with this song (a great song, called "Hevva"!) and it is a huge disappointment to all of us that she can't be with us in Ireland to sing it as she had planned.

In conclusion may I wish all of you a really Happy and Music filled Easter, wherever you may be.

Might I just point out that "Sweet Anna Liffey" is not a PERSON, but is in fact the River Liffey, which flows through Ireland's capital city of Dublin ! The Liffey is also referred to in poetic terms as "Anna Livia Plurabella" --- and frequently in far less complimentary terms when the tide is fully out, on a hot Summer's day !!!!!!!!!!
I foget which post it was in now and I'm feeling too lazy to go and read through all the lists to recall who posted it. It is a very easy mistake to make if one are not very familiar with Irish geography.

Although this could just be a little off-thread, I had the immense honour, together with the UK DJ John Peel, in having a recorded dedication to us both by Gene Vincent in his 1969 recording "I Heard The Lonsesome Whistle Blow".

I had been a friend of Gene for many years and had during the summenr of 1969 persuaded John Peel to stump up the cash to record, and then to release an LP by Gene. John had been a lifelong fan of Gene and it took no real arm twisting! You may recall that John had just started his own label - Dandelion.

I had always loved the Hank Williams song and had the pleasure of listening to Gene sing it to his own acoustic guitar accompaniment during a memorable private session in 1965.

As we put the album together my suggestion to Gene for him to use this title was heeded and the resulting track emerged - complete with the dedication to John and me. A very great honour indeed.

So there it is, I have been named in a song!

Correction the Mary in "The Mountains Of Mourne" song is not Mary with a surname of Macree, but it is in fact "Mary, Mo Chroí" -------- mo chroí translates as "my heart" and in normal usage, coupled with a person's name, it means a term of endearment such as "my beloved one" or "my love".
