Subject: corniest intro for a song From: Sir Roger de Beverley Date: 13 Nov 01 - 10:11 AM Click for the 'PermaThread™: List of all joke threads'I think that I got this one from Mandomad when we used to play as a duo. I'd like to play some wurlitzer music: "Wurlitzer one for the money, two for the show....." Anyone know of any cornier intros than that? |

Subject: RE: BS: corniest intro for a song From: Cllr Date: 13 Nov 01 - 11:29 AM I was running a sing around at Sidmouth festival and it was a themed evening "Songs of the sea and Shanteys" During the evening one of the singers said that he didn't know any songs relating to our theme. I asked him what he did want to sing about and he replied a song about An Australian sheep sheerer, I told him to sing it (as I would rather people did not get missed out when they wanted to join in). When it was his turn to sing I annouced to the assembled company that the next song qualified as a song of the sea because it was about a clipper. Cllr |

Subject: RE: BS: corniest intro for a song From: John MacKenzie Date: 13 Nov 01 - 02:56 PM "This song was composed so long ago, it's virtually decomposed". Da DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaa "I was going to do a Leonard Cohen ( or any sonwriters ) song, but then I thought why should I,he never does any of mine!" Boom boom "To introduce this number we will have a roll on the drums: and a sandwich on the piano". Laugh laugh, weedy laugh laugh.... From a well known Irish singer ( sic ) "This is the song that made me Seamus." Ohmigawd....... "Is there a hole I can be sick in" Bob Dylan. Jock |

Subject: RE: BS: corniest intro for a song From: GUEST,Chicken Charlie Date: 13 Nov 01 - 06:44 PM Snivel & sneeze, snort & cough-- Better do it now cause (pfft!) we're off. Or for spirituals (originally from "Cigareets and Whusky": "A preachment, dear friends, you are about to receive/ On John Barleycorn, nicotine and the temptation of Eve." To set the rhythm for any 'march' tempo song, e.g. "8th Day of January"--"Hay foot, straw foot, belly full of beans..." My fave of what we actually use is for the song "Get Up Napoleon." "This is a song 'bout a man named his horse NAPOLEON. Now, if you wonder why a man would name his horse NAPOLEON, well, the reason this fella named his horse NAPOLEON ...... was because of all the BONY PARTS." [Yee haw.] CC

Subject: RE: BS: corniest intro for a song From: annamill Date: 14 Nov 01 - 01:44 PM One of the funniest intros to a song I've ever heard and never forgotton was by the infamous and now very old Cousin Brucie of NY Radio fame. When introducing the song, "Let's hang on to what we've got" of early R'n'r, he said "..or as one stocking said to another". It got funnier and funnier as the song went on and on.. Not folk, but what the hey.. Love, annamill |

Subject: RE: BS: corniest intro for a song From: GUEST,Bjart Date: 14 Nov 01 - 11:35 PM As my band is fond of introducing our little rockabilly number: "This one's called 'My Girlfriend Wears Combat Boots'. It's based on a true story, but it happened to him, not me, and she didn't really wear combat boots." |

Subject: RE: BS: corniest intro for a song From: Bob P Date: 15 Nov 01 - 04:04 PM Someone said they wanted to hear "_ _ _ _" real bad; well now, here's your wish come true. . . . Or, I never felt comfortable with the intro to McCartney's "Here, There & Everywhere" (To lead a better life, I need my love . . . ) I just finger pick the chords for that without lyrics and think it works just as well.

Subject: RE: BS: corniest intro for a song From: GUEST,MC Fat Date: 16 Nov 01 - 04:56 AM I've suffered for my music now it's yout turn. My mate BONZO aka Paul Elliot sometimes does intros like 'The next song is the Wild Rover it's about rovers who go wild' or 'The next song is called Whiskey in the Jar it's about jars with whiskey in them' get the idea ? |

Subject: RE: BS: corniest intro for a song From: Gervase Date: 16 Nov 01 - 07:10 AM I've used the "I've suffered for my music..."one meself! Another one we used to lob at audiences in a band I was in: "Amazing how potent cheap music can be, eh?" And, introducing a fellow vocalist: "This is John - he's got Van Gogh's ear for music and Douglas Bader's dancing skills." |

Subject: RE: BS: corniest intro for a song From: GUEST,MC Fat Date: 16 Nov 01 - 07:23 AM Not a corny intro but that fine comedian Keith Donnelly tells a story about a council housing estate in Birmingham where the City Council named the roads after war heros you know like Churchill Drive well it seems they have got a Douglas Bader Walk !! |
