Subject: Search for octopus and flagellation song From: epulse@tpgi.com.au Date: 14 Feb 97 - 06:40 PM I am looking for lyrics for a friend, honestly............ they're not for me....... no, really it's true. All he knows is that there is a line containing the words "octopus " and "flagellation." Anyone got any suggestions. Thanks, alison |
Subject: RE: Search for octopus and flagellation song From: Alison Date: 16 Feb 97 - 06:55 PM Further info...... it's something to do with catching an octopus and pulling out it's entrails to use for flagellation. Charming eh?! |
Subject: RE: Search for octopus and flagellation song From: Bill D Date: 17 Feb 97 - 10:59 AM Well, THAT caught my attention!! Lessee, if you take "the Squid-Jiggin Ground", "The Lailey Worm and the Macheral of the Sea", "Tie Me Kangaroo Down" and "Mrs. Ravoon" (see the data base for this one..it is NOT to be missed)....and put them in a 'folk processor' for 30 seconds on 'puree', you might come up with something close....Oh? What do you mean, I'm not taking your request seriously?? *grin*.....gee, sorry I can't be of more help, but I will certainly be following this to see if anyone turns up anything!! If not, we could have an on-line collective write-it workshop!!! Good luck!! |
Subject: RE: Search for octopus and flagellation song From: Alison Date: 19 Feb 97 - 05:46 AM Thanks for your help(!??) Bill. You are a sick man...... By the way I loved Mrs Ravoon, is there a tune? |
Subject: RE: Search for octopus and flagellation song From: Bill D Date: 19 Feb 97 - 02:35 PM indeed there is a tune..this is from the bottom of the listing in the database Old English rhyme set to music by Tom Mastin. Recorded by Harry Tuft on "Across the Blue Mountains," copyright 1976 by Folk Legacy Records, FSA-63. I know tapes, at least, of the Folk Legacy records are still available...go here to get the addresses/phone #s http://www.folklegacy.com/ sick, am I?, *grin*..you know...there are people who actually REQUEST "Mrs. Ravoon" over & over.......but thank you, that's the nicest thing anyone's said to me since I was called a 'folk facist' on the radio a few years ago..(I'm still hoping someone really KNOWS your song...I NEED it!!) |

Subject: Algenon Pide? From: Alison Date: 10 Jun 97 - 07:04 AM Hi, Remember a few months back I was looking for a song which contained referrences to using an octopus for flagellation. (I would like to repeat that , it is for a friend........) Well apparently he has remebered the name of the song was "Algenon Pide." Anyone have any ideas. Thanks Alison |
Subject: RE: Algenon Pide? From: Alan of Oz Date: 10 Jun 97 - 07:20 AM For a friend eh? Actually I can vouch for the fact that it IS for a friend of Alison's - a mutual friend. We are not all strange Down Under, not even our Irish immigrants!

Subject: RE: Search for octopus and flagellation song From: Bob Bolton Date: 10 Dec 01 - 09:24 PM G'day Alison, ... I think Lamarca just refreshed the thread to warn Charley Noble about the sort of company to expect in his brief stay in the antipodes ... too late! Regard(les)s, Bob Bolton |
Subject: RE: Search for octopus and flagellation song From: Bill D Date: 10 Dec 01 - 09:43 PM ya' know, I just searched Google for sites containing BOTH words...and the only musical references were to two songs by The Beatles!...I wonder if someone mis-remembered and thought Octopus & Flagellation were in the same song?....they were famous enough for those words to be noticed.... (and there are am amazing number of other places where both words are on the same page...(some not for family viewing) |

Subject: RE: Search for octopus and flagellation song From: Bill D Date: 10 Dec 01 - 10:29 PM well, you sure do get strange things when you start playing with THOSE words.....not what you want, but this thread deserves a creep..(no,,,not ME!) By Algernon Charles Sin-Burn
1 Strange beauty, eight-limbed and eight-handed,
9 Wast thou born to the sound of sea trumpets?
17 Lithe limbs, curling free, as a creeper
25 O breast, that 'twere rapture to writhe on!
33 Ah! thy red lips, lascivious and luscious,
