Subject: RE: Lyr Req: If you cannot get laid in the SCA... From: Bryn Pugh Date: 27 Jul 09 - 09:00 AM I remember Les Dawson and Roy Barraclough doing parodies on "English Folk Traditions". One time they did what purported to be the "Stalybridge Needel Dance". There was a bloody great cotton reel with 'ribbons' hanging off it, and Les and Roy, barefoot and wearing smocks and flowered hats, singing "Needles to your partner, needles to the wall If you can't get pricked on a Saturday night, you'll never get pricked at all". Nearly pissed meself with laughter - I was dancing North West (Clog) Morris with the Manchester Men, at this time. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: If you cannot get laid in the SCA... From: Charley Noble Date: 27 Jul 09 - 08:50 AM Sometimes the folk process loses something important: "Four and twenty virgins came down from county Moore All but two got back again and they were double four; Singing..." Should be as my old mentor Denis Puleston used to sing: Four and twenty virgins came from Bellamore, Only ane of them got back and she was DOUBLEBORE; Singing... Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: If you cannot get laid in the SCA... From: VirginiaTam Date: 26 Jul 09 - 01:20 PM SCA = sexually challenged adults as well as society for creative anachronists My daughter Andie would be able to find out about that song. Hell she probably sang it. But she is no longer with us. I think it maybe a filk on a parody about a Leslie Fish song Serious Steel. There seem to be many variations. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: If you cannot get laid in the SCA... From: Little Hawk Date: 04 Oct 01 - 08:37 PM Oh the Humanity!!! That this vile stuff should be posted on the normally pristine pages of the Mudcat. Well! I am just...it's...I never...it's an outrage. And I thought that MMario was such a nice young man! People should remember that there are ADULTS visiting this forum and govern themselves accordingly! Well, a few anyway... :-) - LH |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: If you cannot get laid in the SCA... From: GUEST,Original Requester Date: 04 Oct 01 - 05:09 PM Thank you all for your posting. I found the lyrics that I was looking for. :) And to those of you that don't think bawdy lyrics should be repeated... I suggest that you never attend an event with the SCA. It would surely shock your delicate sensibilites. ;) Thanks again! |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: If you cannot get laid in the SCA... From: Joe Offer Date: 02 Oct 01 - 07:24 PM Dang! Foiled again! I swear, I searched two ways, and still didn't find a match. So, MMario, why didn't you SAY it was in the Digital Tradition? -Joe Offer, embarrassed- Actually, though, it really does help if people search Mudcat first for songs, and refer requestors to locations within Mudcat, if possible. Jim Dixon and Susan of DT and I try to go through al the music threads, looking for songs to add to the Digital Tradition. If something comes up, we have to take the time to search to see if we already have it. If you know we already have it, it helps a lot if you tell us so. I spent some twenty minutes on this song this morning. I finally decided not to harvest it because it was specific to SCAdians and not of general interest, even though it seemed clever. Oh, you DID say it was in the DT, but in a later post... |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: If you cannot get laid in the SCA... From: Little Hawk Date: 02 Oct 01 - 03:38 PM Whatever do you mean, Joe? We can NEVER get too much prudishness and self-righteous indignation on this forum! How the hell else can we expect to stamp out and finally eradicate all those who don't agree with us, and thus make the world safe for democracy? I think you have shown extremely poor judgement in again posting those highly offensive, sexist, racist lyrics! By golly, I see a big shakeup coming at Mudcat over this...you may find yourself featuring in a show trial and subsequent purge at the highest levels of Mudcat that will make the Gang of Four episode look pale in comparison. Even Spaw may well not escape this time. (DUM-DA-DUM-DUM!) "Self-righteousness in the cause of Liberty is NO VICE!!!" (not to mention self-leftiousness...which is very similar, although opposite...in a superficial sense only, if you follow me...) Yeah. :-) - LH |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: If you cannot get laid in the SCA... From: MMario Date: 02 Oct 01 - 03:36 PM I didn't post, not because of bawdiness, but rather because I didn't feel it was different enough to be worth it. The reason for the brevity of my first post in this thread is that I found it on the second site listed in the goodle search I did. At that time - I was tempted just to post that it could be found in less then 4 minutes using a simple search engine - and NOT post the link. |

Subject: ADD: The Ball of Baladore From: Joe Offer Date: 02 Oct 01 - 03:21 PM Oh, I suppose the song is really crude and disgusting and all - but it's also quite clever. I don't know if I'll harvest it for the Digital Tradition, but I think it should be posted. There's been a rash of prudishness and self-righteous indignation here at Mudcat lately, to the point where it's become downright offensive. It's a very good thing to treat sex as sacred and to have respect for the opposite sex, but that rule is suspended when it comes to collecting folk songs - bawdiness is encouraged at Mudcat, particularly in song lyrics. -Joe Offer- The Ball of Baladore (or, If You Can't Get Laid in the SCA) Four and thirty virgins down from Infaness When the ball was over there were four and twenty less; Singing... ...Chorus; Balls to your partner, arse against the wall If you can't get laid in the SCA you'll never get laid at all First they did it simple then they tried it he's and she's When the ball was over they were up 5's and 3's; Singing... They tried it on the garden path and once around the park When the candles started out, they did it in the dark; Singing... The best man in the corner explaining to the groom The vagina not the rectum was the entrance to the womb; Singing... The school mater he was there, going at it some Figuring out by algebra the time that he would come; Singing... The chimney sweeper he was there, that were was not dirt Pretty soon he farted and he filled the air with soot; Singing... The letter carrier he was there, the poor man had the pox He couldn't do the lasses so he did the letter box; Singing... The village idiot he was there, sitting behind the band amusing himself by abusing himself and catching it in his hands; Singing... The village magician he was there, doing his vanishing trick He pulled his foreskin over his head and vanished into his prick; Singing... The village butcher he was there, cleaver in his hand And every time he turned around he circumcised the band; Singing... The village harlot she was there, laying on the floor And every time she opened her legs, the suction closed the door; Singing... Four and thirty Vikings back from the war They couldn't catch a single sheep, so they settled for the whores; Singing.... The kingdom ciurgion she was there, working all night long Running around and putting rubbers on everybody's dong; Singing... The Queen was in the parlor getting eaten by her honey The King was in the chamber maid and she was in the money; Singing... The Falawabas they were there, sitting all alone Complaining of the doings with load and piercing moans; Singing... The local cavaliers were there, in elegance they sat Doing things unusual with the feathers in their hat; Singing... There was doing on the porches, there was doing on the stairs You couldn't hear the music for the loud and piercing moans; Singing... The undertaker he was there, in a long black shroud Swinging on the chandelier and pissing on the ground; Singing... The village blacksmith he was there, his balls were made of brass And every time he laid a girl the sparks out his ass; Singing... There was doing on the sofa, there was doing in the chair When they found the trampoline there was doing in mid-air; Singing... There was screwing ion the bedroom, there was screwing on the stairs You couldn't see the carpet for the mass of curly hair; Singing... First lady over, second lady front Third lady's finger up the fourth lady's cunt; Singing... The parson's wife she was also there sitting down in front Wearing posies in her hair and a carrot up her cunt; Singing... McPherson's band they were there, giving out the clicks You couldn't hear the music for the swishing of the pricks; Singing... Four and twenty virgins came down from county Moore All but two got back again and they were double four; Singing... The village carpenter he was there, with his prick of wood He made it when he lost his own, but it worked just as good; Singing... The village druggard he was there, grinning like a fox He sold out all the condoms so he sold them dirty socks; Singing... The vicountess they were there, keeping us all in fits Jumping off the mantle piece and bouncing on their tits; Singing... The village idiot he was there, up to his old tricks Bouncing on his testicles and whistling through his prick; Singing... A strapping Scotsman he was there known to all as Ronald His riser weighed a quarter pound he must be a McDonald; Singing... The Baroness she was there, she was looking pert With six or seven cavaliers underneath her skirt; Singing... The kingdom Marshall he was there, a mighty man was he He wrapped his pecker in duct tape to make it combat legal; Singing... The village smithy he was there, a mighty man was he He lined them against the wall and shacked them three by three; Singing... When the ball was over, everyone confessed The music was exquisite but the doing was the best; Singing... |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: If you cannot get laid in the SCA... From: Little Hawk Date: 02 Oct 01 - 01:10 PM I checked out the link you provided, Mario. I read it over with great attention. Some of the acts described sound unlikely if not impossible. At any rate, I am offended, sir, deeply offended that you would post a link to this sort of codswallop on a prestigious and clean-minded forum such as the Mudcat. "The Mudcat does not deserve this!" (to quote a phrase) You should be ashamed of yourself! An apology would be a good start...but not nearly enough to put this behind you. I suggest an abject apology to the entire forum, coupled with a generous donation to the NYCFTTS and the WSSBA. I can supply an address for the latter...cash only please. Feel free to PM me. - LH

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: If you cannot get laid in the SCA... From: Hollowfox Date: 01 Oct 01 - 04:07 PM (Thanks, wildlone) Guest, it's sort of a historical re-creation group. Although mostly found in North america, there are chapters throughout much of the world, usually but not always near US military bases. I don't know what country you live in, but I know that there are SCA groups in Sweden, Germany, Australia, England, and Ireland. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: If you cannot get laid in the SCA... From: Hollowfox Date: 01 Oct 01 - 02:53 PM Oh, The Ball is much older, I agree. I was referring only to the SCA version. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: If you cannot get laid in the SCA... From: Greyeyes Date: 01 Oct 01 - 02:50 PM Longer than 27 years I think. I remember rugby players in the UK singing it when I was very small. They sang "if you don't get shagged on a Saturday night you'll never get shagged at all" extra verse: "The vicar's wife she was there, sitting by the fire, knitting Rubber-Jonnies from a worn out Dunlop tyre." |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: If you cannot get laid in the SCA... From: Hollowfox Date: 01 Oct 01 - 02:39 PM Yes, the tune is the same as "The Ball", and it's been around at least since Pennsic 3 (that's 27 years). I'm glad that the song has changed the phrase "Pennsic 3" to "The SCA"; that eliminates a pre-requirement of geezerhood to sing it. While you can get away with using the traditional verses posted above, there are also SCA-specific verses, usually dealing with knights and monarchs past and present within the organization; in-jokes, every one of 'em, but some are quite good. The verses will vary from area to area, so your best bet is to gather the verses in your kingdom. I know there are many SCA websites that have SCA lyrics on them, but I don't know any specific addresses, so you'll just have to noodle around for those. While you're at it, I suggest getting a few verses for "Imperium Compound" as well. It may well be the oldest SCA song still sung. |

Subject: If you cannot get laid in the SCA... From: GUEST Date: 01 Oct 01 - 01:54 PM I heard this song over the weekend at an SCA event and now can't get the chorus out of my head. Does anyone know where I can find the verses? I don't even know the name of the song, but I'm told that there are many, many verses. The chorus as I remember it is "If you cannot get laid in the SCA, you cannot get laid at all". |
