Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: The Borchester Echo Date: 10 Mar 08 - 09:54 AM Black Joak by a million miles. And it's the funniest. Contest over. |

Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: john f weldon Date: 10 Mar 08 - 10:18 AM Oh dear. This has remained hidden for years, buried in a secret spot on my website. Years ago I rewrote (updated) "My Husbands a Plumber". Well, you asked for it... Jiggie |

Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: The Mole Catcher's Apprentice (inactive) Date: 10 Mar 08 - 11:55 AM erotic is a better word as in the record The Bird in the Bush : trad erotic songs. from which comes, The Widow of Westmoreland's Daughter Charlotte (there's an avian creature in that there thicket) |
|
Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: The Borchester Echo Date: 10 Mar 08 - 12:07 PM "Erotic" certainly is a better word but not appropriate to most of the songs listed here which are nothing more than juvenile, pre-pubescent, sniggering schoolboy crudeness. The Bird In The Bush EP reminds me of Long Pegging Awl from Bert Lloyd, cleverly revived recently by Benji Kirkpatrick. Though Black Joak is still way out in front. Here's a recent recording by the Jim Moray Three |

Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: topical tom Date: 10 Mar 08 - 01:11 PM I cannot remember the title of the song but the chorus is Balls to your partner,your ass against the wall If you don't get f---ed on Saturday night You won't get f---ed at all. One verse went: They were doing it in the barley, They were doing it in the oats, Most were doing women but some were doing goats. Singing...Chorus I remember most of the other verses but would rather not publish them here. |

Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: dick greenhaus Date: 10 Mar 08 - 01:27 PM topical Tom- that's a variant of "Ball of Kerimuir" |
|
Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: curmudgeon Date: 10 Mar 08 - 02:21 PM "...most of the other verses ..." would be longer than "A Gest of Robin Hood." The chorus you give is a later English rendition. The earlier Scots refrain, with variables: Wha did ye last nicht, wh'll dae ye noo, The yin that did it last nicht, canna dae it noo. |

Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: The Vulgar Boatman Date: 10 Mar 08 - 02:34 PM Fortunately, boys will be boys, and so will a lot of midle-aged men. A favourite trick is to wait for Redwing to pop up in a tune session, launch into the B with the immortal words "Oh the moon shines bright on Nellie Cartwright..." and watch who chokes on their pint. KYBTTS Brethren. |

Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: Charley Noble Date: 10 Mar 08 - 02:45 PM "Bloody Great Kidney Wiper" with its immortal chorus: With his bloody great kidney wiper, Yes, bloody great kidney-wee, And forty yards of foreskin Hanging down below his knee! "Balls as Heavy as Lead" is another classic in danger of becoming extinct, the chorus of which runs: For they were large balls, Balls as heavy as lead, With a dextrous twist of his muscular wrist He'd sling 'em right over his head! For they were large balls, Balls as heavy as lead! Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: Snuffy Date: 10 Mar 08 - 03:44 PM Vulgar Boatman, I've been looking for the rest of the words to Nellie Cartwright for years. Any chance of posting them with all the other Redwing parodies on this thread? Pretty please. |
|
Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: GUEST,TJ in San Diego Date: 10 Mar 08 - 04:27 PM The old LP, "Bawdy Songs and Backroom Ballads" by Oscar Brand, is a classic. It may not meet the "smell test" for downright filthy, but it has a healthy dose of smutty. |
|
Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: Amos Date: 10 Mar 08 - 04:32 PM Topical Tom: That hoary and hairy old classic is originally called The Balls of Kerremuir, I believe, although I am uncertain of the spelling of Kerremuir. I know how to spell balls, though -- ya just go off by yourself for a couple of days. A |
|
Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: The Vulgar Boatman Date: 10 Mar 08 - 05:47 PM Snuffy, the lines on the other thread are all I know, maybe even all there are as I've always thought of it as one of those glorious "one liners" which sometimes attach themselves to tunes. Like the National Emblem March, which traditionally has the words "Have you ever caught your knackers in a rat trap..." The Charlie Chaplin connection seems to be what popularised the tune, and knowing what some of those old East Anglian musicians were like, and still are if the Eel's Foot is anything to go by, I wouldn't be surprised if the Nellie Cartwright lines go back to the tune's early days, and were then expanded by the rugby song enthusiasts to parody the Redwing song. The rest of the song is a bit of a mess, which if I remember rightly was published in the sixties in a book called "Why Was He Born So Beautiful". |

Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: GUEST,Captain Colin Date: 10 Mar 08 - 08:42 PM HA! Very droll skarpi. Sue- he's pretending to misread "filthy" as "fifty". Or maybe not, which is even funnier. |
|
Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: Midchuck Date: 10 Mar 08 - 08:57 PM I can probably come up with fifty filthy songs that I know, if I think on the matter for a while. Can I count filthy parodies of "proper" songs? Including my own compositions? Peter |

Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: Fergie Date: 10 Mar 08 - 09:41 PM Eh! I think Scarpi intended to contribute to a concurrent post entitled "Fifty Songs Everyone Should Know" |
|
Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: Rowan Date: 10 Mar 08 - 11:19 PM Which means the hour he spent compiling his list is well spent rather than wasted. All he now has to do is a simple copy&paste to the other thread. Go, Skarpi! |
|
Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: topical tom Date: 10 Mar 08 - 11:36 PM Has anyone mentioned the "Masturbation Song"? Last night I contemplated masturbation, Oh wasn't it grand,oh wasn't it grand? Left hand, right hand, jerk it in and out, Left hand, right hand, flip it all about! Some will maintain that sexual intercourse is grand But for personal satisfaction I would rather use my hand! I heard this sung many years ago by a schoolteacher originally from Wales. |
|
Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: topical tom Date: 11 Mar 08 - 12:24 AM In the previous post I omitted a line.Between the second and third lines should be the following: Just a few taps from the back of the hand To make it stand, to make it stand. I've changed my mind. Here are a few more lyrics that I recall from a version of "The Balls of Kerrmuir": The village magician, he was there. He made a magic pass:he pulled his foreskin over his head And vanished up his ass. Singing balls...(chorus) The village doctor he was there sitting by the fire A-cutting contraceptives from an india rubber tire chorus The village idiot he was there sitting on a mat Amusing himself by abusing himself and catching it in his hat chorus Mercifully those are all the lyrics I remember! |

Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: GUEST,Sonja Date: 11 Mar 08 - 01:30 AM Roll Your Leg Over Roll Me Over In The Clover (both have about as many verses as ya can come up with when y've had a few pints) And how about "Twiddles?" Maybe more double entendre than outright filthy, but still a keeper. |
|
Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: pavane Date: 11 Mar 08 - 03:07 AM All these and more are available on Llewtrah's bawdy song site. Sorry I don't have an up to date link though. And you should look at some of the old broadsides at the Bodleian library. There are many dated 1680 or so, saucy but not blatantly crude. And even Abram Brown the sailor, a predecessor of Barnacle Bill, in or around 1850. |
|
Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: Murray MacLeod Date: 11 Mar 08 - 03:21 AM can we please establish once and for all that the song referred to several times on this thread is called "The Ball of Kirriemuir" "Ball", singular, as in a social gathering where people dance, and "Kirriemuir", not Kerrmuir, Kerrville, Kerrimuir or any of the other variants |

|
Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: Suegorgeous Date: 11 Mar 08 - 01:28 PM Skarpi honey This thread asked for lists of FILTHY songs. You have given a list of FIFTY songs (most of which look distinctly unfilthy to me). Which did you mean to do? if FIFTY, you're on the wrong thread, and might want to copy-paste it to the right one? as you've spent some time on it.... :) |
|
Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: MMario Date: 11 Mar 08 - 01:36 PM Murray, correct or not, it is quite obvious the song is known by more then the one title. |
|
Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: Snuffy Date: 11 Mar 08 - 02:07 PM But evry fule kno that the real title is "Four and Twenty Virgins" |

Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: topical tom Date: 11 Mar 08 - 02:41 PM Sorry to drag this out like a dental procedure, but I just remembered another verse of our (I and my friends) version of "The Ball of Kirriemuir": There was f---ing in the hallways, There was f---ing on the stairs. You couldn't see the carpet for the mass of pubic hairs Singing balls...Chorus |
|
Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: danensis Date: 11 Mar 08 - 04:54 PM In between the songs, does anyone remember a series of running gags that started "To the woods, to the woods"? The next line was "Mummy wouldn't like it" and the response "Mummy isn't getting it". "I'll tell the vicar" "I am the vicar" "I'll tell the bishop then" "O.K. he's in the next bush".... and so on - I can't remember any more. |
|
Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: Charley Noble Date: 11 Mar 08 - 05:05 PM Topical Tom- There are probably hundreds of verses of the Gathering of the Clan, one of its various titles, already posted on Mudcat, i.e. The queen was in the parlor eating bread and honey; The king was in the parlormaid and she was in the money... Cheerily, Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: GrannyInWales Date: 11 Mar 08 - 05:16 PM To the woods, to the woods, with the rubber goods...! Little Girl: But I'm only thirteen! Vicar: This is no time for superstition L.G: I'll tell the Vicar Vicar: I am the Vicar! L.G.: My mother's not going to like this! Vicar: Your mother's not going to get it L.G: Besides, Mummy said I mustn't, the grass is wet and ten pence isn't enough! etc.... |
|
Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: GUEST, Billy Rubin Date: 11 Mar 08 - 06:14 PM Who did the parody, based on "Turkey in the Straw," with a chorus that finished thus: "Try to get a woman, get a woman if you can, If you can't get a woman, get a clean old man!" ?? |
|
Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: Rowan Date: 11 Mar 08 - 09:49 PM OK, we've had enough fun at his expense. skarpi, I'll bet serious money you wanted to post your list to Fifty Songs Everyone Should Know but you misread the title and posted it here instead. Yours is a great list and it will languish, unworthily ignored, among the 'back of the bikesheds" material here unless you copy&paste it to the other thread. Cheers, Rowan |
|
Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: GrannyInWales Date: 11 Mar 08 - 10:35 PM Billy Rubin: I've only ever heard your parody done by Ken Dodd: Tiddly winks, old man, get a woman if you can, etc |
|
Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: Bert Date: 12 Mar 08 - 12:33 AM To be spoken with the low lecherous voice and replied with high pitched voice. To the woods, to the woods No! Not the woods, anything but the woods. ANYTHING!!! To the Woods, to the woods |

Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: Dave Hanson Date: 12 Mar 08 - 04:07 AM This the one Billy Rubin Ting a ling goddam, find a woman if you can, If you can't find a woman find a clean old man, If you're ever in Gibralter try a flying fuck at Walter, Can you do the double shuffle when your balls hand low. ................... Do your balls hang low, can you heave 'em to and fro, Can you tie 'em in knot can tie 'em in a bow, Can you throw 'em o'er your shoulder like a continental soldier, Can you do the double shuffle when your balls hang low. From Bawdy Ballads by Ed Cray, marvellous book of rude songs. eric |

Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: GUEST,warren fahey Date: 02 Sep 08 - 03:39 AM I have just finished compiling a book of bawdy songs and recitations circulated in Australia (available early 2009) and I am now looking for bawdy dance tune names as in Arse Over Anne for the varsovenia (various spellings) or ditties associated with dances. It is not uusual for dance band musicians to have bawdy titles since the audience cannot hear these 'in jokes'. Anyone have a contribution? |

Subject: RE: Filthy Songs Everyone Should Know From: Richard Bridge Date: 02 Sep 08 - 04:04 AM Hmm, no mention of two I would rather like to re-learn entirely: - The British Grenadier "But of all the world's diseases, there's none that can compare To the drip drip drip of the syphilitic prick Of teh Brisith gonorrhea" Whoredean School "We are from Whoredean Good girls are we we take a pride in our virginity When we go down to the Vicar for tea We only do it now and again And again and againand again and again And again and again and again" |

|
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'. |
|
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. |

Ed's my favorite international bawdiologist and also an eminently readable biographer whose most recent biography is of Woody Guthrie. Linn |

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,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: 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,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 |
