Subject: RE: Mis-heard session tune titles. From: Alice Date: 18 Jan 00 - 01:14 PM This was mis-typed not mis-heard. At our session we have some tunes that were copied and shared that include a typo that brings a laugh - Campbell's Farewell to Red Gag. We have a thread somewhere here discussing the mondegreen someone came up with for Mason's Apron. A super-search would probably find it. |

Subject: RE: Mis-heard session tune titles. From: Lady McMoo Date: 18 Jan 00 - 11:28 AM I think I've posted this before, so apologies if you've already seen it. I was asked for "Varnish Me Foreskin" (=Banish Misfortune) by a drunk at a session several years ago. Also the "Clumsy Lover" became "Cecil Parkinson's Jig" at one long-running session for a while (this will appeal only to UK 'Catters)! I'm sure I'll think of a few more after an ale or two! All the best, mcmoo |
Subject: RE: Mis-heard session tune titles. From: Skipjack Date: 18 Jan 00 - 11:07 AM Thread creep in second posting is going some! It's what the tunes become known as that amuses me. 'My love is but a lassie yet' has become known as 'That Gary Glitter Tune' at my session. Sorry, that's a little UKcentric for non Poms. Skipjack |
