Subject: Popeye's Theme Music From: GUEST,Nick Date: 17 Jul 01 - 11:58 AM I am looking for the name of the little ditty that I know from the Theme of Popeye cartoons, not the part with the Lyrics "I'm strong to the finish cause I eat my spiach" though that may be part of the tune I'm looking for. It starts out kind of like this Toodle-oot doot tooot toodle oodle oout..... (Oh that song I am sure you are thinking) Any Ideas? Thanks Nick |

Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music From: DaveJ Date: 17 Jul 01 - 12:16 PM Less than 10 minutes for a audio reply...This place is amazing. I have it as the 'ring' on my cell phone. Is that abuse of technology or what? It actually goes through most of the tune not just a measure or two. It takes me that long to find the damn thing and figure out how to answer it. DaveJ |

Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music From: Sorcha Date: 17 Jul 01 - 12:17 PM Sailor's Hornpipe at JC's Tunefinder. Choose one. |

Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music From: MMario Date: 17 Jul 01 - 12:20 PM this page at JC's tune finder gives you several options for sheet music. Not pennywhistle tho' |
|
Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music From: SharonA Date: 17 Jul 01 - 12:36 PM Are there lyrics to the Sailor's Hornpipe? (Yes, I did check the DT!) Also, is there a home page for JC's Tunefinder that more thoroughly explains how to use it and what all the notations mean? (The little chart isn't helping me much to wrap my head around it.) |

Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music From: Jim Krause Date: 17 Jul 01 - 12:55 PM Sailor's Hornpipe, aka College Hornpipe can be found in many military fife tune books, such as the one published by Ft. Snelling in St. Paul, Minnesota. Widely collected, it can also be found in many fiddle tune collections such as The Phillips Collection of Fiddle Tunes by Stacy Phillips published by Mel Bay. It is also in Paul Brody's Fiddler's Fake Book. The tune itself dates from the last quarter of the 18th century according to Samuel P. Bayard in his book Dance to the Fiddle, March to the Fife: Instrumental Folk Tunes in Pennsylvania. Jim |

Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music From: LR Mole Date: 17 Jul 01 - 01:00 PM Don't know if there are words (particularly ones written at the same time as the tune), but I worked one summer with an actor who had had to master the dance, and an impressive thing it was, involving right-arm-across stomach, left-arm-across-small-of-back, then reversing, and then shading-eye-with either-hand and peering off to the sides, while sort of laterally hopping. I was consumed with envy. The whole thing would probably become insanely complicated with a penny whistle involved. A person might hurt himself. |

Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music From: Barry Finn Date: 17 Jul 01 - 09:27 PM There are words collected by Doerflinger (see Shantymen & Shantyboys):

It has nothing to do with any hornpipe. The rhythm is "Waltz Clog" The words, as follows. I'M ONE MEAN GAZOOKAS DON'T LIKE NO PALOOKAS,,, WHAT AINT ON THE "UPS AN' SQUARES" i BIFFS 'EM AN' BOPS 'EM AN' ALWAYS OUTROUGHS 'EM IF ANYONE DARES-ES TO RISK ME FISKS IT'S BIFF AN' IT'S BOP, UNDERSTAND?

Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music From: CRANKY YANKEE Date: 17 Jul 01 - 11:02 PM Nick, I tried to send you a P.M. I guess you're not a memeber. If the tune isn't clear enough, send ME a P.M. with your adress and/or phone number . I'll either sing it for uou on the phone or send you a tape. Regards, Jody Gibson. |

Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music From: CRANKY YANKEE Date: 17 Jul 01 - 11:30 PM I don't think I wrote the last two lines of the melody right. I'll try it again. |

Subject: You Dont seem that cranky to me From: GUEST,Nick Date: 18 Jul 01 - 03:52 PM The notation you gave me is just the kind of thing I am looking for, but I think as I said in my first posting there is another tune, or part of the same tune, but it is not the melody that goes with the lyrics.It starts out kind of like this Toodle-oot doot tooot toodle oodle oout.... THanks for the above though I will play with it! Nick |

Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music From: MMario Date: 18 Jul 01 - 04:01 PM Nick - I am pretty sure the sailor's hornpipe is what you are looking for. Try JC's tunefinder and choose abc format is standard notation doesn't work for you. |

Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music From: pavane Date: 19 Jul 01 - 04:25 AM As noted above, it might be found as 'College Hornpipe'. The actual Popeye SONG has collected a large number of mostly bawdy verses - has anyone made a collection of them? A mild example

Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music From: Burke Date: 19 Jul 01 - 09:18 PM SharonA, if you click on find wide you'll see what the codes mean. The PDF or the GIF versions should display as sheet music. I can't figure out Index, but the meter column is your time signature & the next column gives the key. MMario, it works for penneywhistle. A penneywhistle is in D, so you just download the D version. |

Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music From: MMario Date: 20 Jul 01 - 08:43 AM "Index" is the # of the song in the original file it is found in. |

Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music (Hornpipe Lyrics) From: Wincing Devil Date: 20 Jul 01 - 12:46 PM I first learned these lyrics at Navy boot camp (Great Lakes, where else?) as a member of the Recruit Performance Company (Triple Threat) Bluejacket's Hornpipe I'm a Navy Man, and I'm proud as can be, * Insert ship or command name here.

Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music From: Peter K (Fionn) Date: 20 Jul 01 - 08:39 PM Nick, as someone else noted, JC's Tunefinder can take a little bit of sussing out. To save yourself that trouble, CLICK HERE to go straight to a gif file of the tune you're after. |
|
Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music From: Peter K (Fionn) Date: 20 Jul 01 - 08:43 PM I should have said that you can click onwards from there to bring up the tune in various other formats -all fairly self-explanatory, unlike the way the options are presented elsewhere in the tunefinder. |

Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music From: CRANKY YANKEE Date: 21 Jul 01 - 10:34 AM M One of the peculiarities, which I fall into, myself every now and then, is IF THE WORD ENDS IN " I N", ADD A "G" (SOMETIMES O-N OR A=N) LIKE IN, BOSTING MASSACHUSSETTS. OF "CAPTING" INSTEAD OF "cAPTAIN" But, if the word ends in "I N G" , knock off the "G" Which leaves us with, I LOVES TO GO SWIMMIN' WITH BALDHEADED "WIMMING" GUEST NICK: Yes that is exactly what you're looking for. In the movie, "Popeye" Robin Williams sings it near the end of the movie. In the old Popeye cartoon "Sinbad " Popeye sings it "himself" As I stated previously, it is a "Waltz Clog" not a hornpipe and th3e refrain is the well known, "I'm Popeye the Sailor Man," etc They do play the "Sailors Hornpipe" at th4e beginning of most of the cartoons, but that is not the Popeye theme. The one I posted above is. Believe it or not, I did research this, when I started to look like Popeye, and l;itle kids were asking me for Popeye's autograph. |

THAT'S WHY THE ANCHOR'S IRON WOOD'S FOR, BUILDING, WOOD'S FOR, BUILDING BOATS. If anyone wants it, it's yours!! Free./ Jody Gibson. |
