Subject: RE: Lyrics for Popeye the Sailor From: catspaw49 Date: 15 Feb 99 - 10:02 AM The Popeye Project? The POPEYE Project??? Is there anything that is not on the web? Yeah, I know I should not be surprised...scrapple, Christian Deer Hunters.....but somehow this fits too. Maybe it's the name. Didja' know this site has a synopsis of every Popeye cartoon? That's real tough to do..."Fighting over Olive, Brutus/Bluto kicks crap out of Popeye;Popeye eats spinach, demolishes Brutus/Bluto." That ought to do for about 85%. I'm sure Mudcat strikes a few people strange too. Oh well............ catspaw |

Subject: RE: Lyrics for Popeye the Sailor From: Bill D Date: 15 Feb 99 - 12:28 PM ah, catspaw...humble as I am, I can lay claim to being one of the worlds greatest Websurfers...partly because of my ability to intuit 'how' a thing would be referenced on the WWW...but partly because I take seriously the simple mathematics of it all...I am told that there are 130,000,000 or so webpages, and after subtracting the 40-50 million that must be devoted to sex, it just seems obvious that ANYTHING of interest to more than 3 people will soon be represented online...for instance, since I am a member of a Wood Collectors society, I have lots of people look at me strangely. I just tell them that if people can collect cannonballs, string and barbed wire...what is so strange about wood? well, in 10 minutes after I read your post I found these: it is a BIG world out there...now, since Popeye has his place...I'm going looking for Smokey Stover..*grin* |

Subject: RE: Lyrics for Popeye the Sailor From: Bill D Date: 15 Feb 99 - 01:01 PM found 'ol Smokey easily..but in the process found this... maze of pages thru the esoteric nuances of Discordianism do NOT click unless you have both time and an appreciation for the insanely abstruse... I will stop now...I promise |

Subject: RE: Lyrics for Popeye the Sailor From: catspaw49 Date: 15 Feb 99 - 04:43 PM Oh yeah...knew I shouldn't go there. Alas, the ability of an Info-Junkie to waste time knows no bounds, but who cares? I agree with your web math too Bill. It might not take even 3 people. Next time one of us runs across Shambles on a thread, we need to send him to the land of Pope Ick too. Oddly enough, I think he might also appreciate the site!!! catspaw |

Subject: RE: Lyrics for Popeye the Sailor From: Bob Biderman Date: 15 Feb 99 - 08:12 PM Spindrift, it's been years since I taught kids, but I can remember them singing a version that started "I'm Popeye the sailor man, I live in a garbage can... I'll bet the kids you work with, or some of their older siblings, would be able to finish this one and would have other versions. Now as for using them in a K-3 school programme, that may be another matter. Bob |

Subject: RE: Lyrics for Popeye the Sailor From: McMusic Date: 16 Feb 99 - 11:14 PM I was just cruisin' the web one night and stumbled on a site named "Army Men". Intrigued, I tuned in and, yup, you guessed it: a website dedicated to those old flexible plastic, one color, six posed toy soldiers like you used to get in the Sears Christmas catalog! They even had photographs of mock battles around electric planes--all set up on kitchen tables and living room floors. Remember them, guys? I laugh at NO hobbies, but this one did bring a smile to my face. |

Subject: RE: Lyrics for Popeye the Sailor From: Alice Date: 21 Feb 99 - 02:33 PM the tune is hundreds of years old, now can't someone name it? Bruce O. are you reading this? |
|
Subject: RE: Tune of Popeye the Sailor From: RS Date: 21 Feb 99 - 03:03 PM Well, after humming this over & over to see what we could come up with, my kids & I have decided that the original tune is definitely that of the famous & immortal song:
Da da da da da, da dum. Now if we could only figure out the composer, we'd be all set! - RS |
|
Subject: RE: Lyrics for Popeye the Sailor From: da da dum Date: 21 Feb 99 - 03:36 PM RS - He's a great composer, who inspired Beethoven's fifth Symphony with the immortal opening line: Da da da Dum And I think it was a descendant of his who composed the famous theme to TV's Dragnet: Dumm, da dum dum |

Subject: RE: Lyrics for Popeye the Sailor From: Mike Billo Date: 21 Feb 99 - 05:55 PM Well, I've been holding off on contributing this for fear of being regarded as too weird, but I now see that that's not much of a consideration on the Mudcat(ha ha). The most bizarre site I've found on the web is the "Marshmallow Bunny Survival Tests" page where they subject marshmallow bunnies(the kind you buy at easter) to laser blasts, electrocutions, and flame throwers, then document the results under laboratory conditions its at http://www.pcola.gulf.net/~irving/bunnies/ You have to see this one to believe it! |

Subject: RE: Lyrics for Popeye the Sailor From: Banjer Date: 21 Feb 99 - 08:44 PM My Lord!!! I thought at the beginning of this thread that I had some weird sites to share myself, BUT, after getting past Mike Billo's "Marshmallow Bunny Survival Tests" I'll just go back to my corner and sit down. How can one follow such an act? Go look, it's actually there, just like he says......Some folks just have toooooo much time on their hands....... |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Popeye the Sailor Man From: GUEST,guest Date: 06 Aug 11 - 12:30 AM The bawdiest version I learned from a Rhode Island girl. Sung first in a sweet girls voice... Who's that knocking at my door oh who's knocking at my door. Then in a strong manish voice... Open the door you fucking whore it's Popeye the sailor man. |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Popeye the Sailor Man From: Big Ballad Singer Date: 06 Aug 11 - 12:49 AM No, Guest, I believe the song you're referring to is "Barnacle Bill the Sailor". Who's that knocking at my door, etc... Open the door, you... whore, it's Barnacle Bill the Sailor. Will you take me to the dance, etc... To hell with the dance, and take off your pants, it's Barnacle Bill... and so on. I believe it was Dr. Dirty (John Valby) who recorded it. Geez, I hate knowing crap like that. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Popeye The Sailor Man From: Senoufou Date: 06 May 17 - 06:21 AM (Oh dear! Fond memories of being a Very Naughty Girl aged about nine!) I'm Popeye the sailor man. I live in a jar of jam. The jam is so sticky It sticks to my dicky. I'm Popeye the sailor man. I'm Popeye the sailor man. I live in a caravan. There's a hole in the middle for Popeye to piddle. I'm Popeye the sailor man. The ice-cream vans round our way always played this tune. Cue for my sister and I, in fits of giggles, to start up with rude parodies.

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Popeye The Sailor Man From: Steve Gardham Date: 06 May 17 - 01:32 PM Surely there must already be a thread on this one. The earliest one I heard in the 50s was I'm Popeye... I live in a caravan I opened the door And I fell through the floor I'm P.... We also sang the 'I love to go swimmin with all the bare women' verse, probably others. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Popeye The Sailor Man From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 06 May 17 - 08:00 PM Dear Senoufou, CLASSIC I thought I knew and heard and read every version of "Popeye"....and then you come forward. Please, what were the approximate date and geographic location that you learned these lyrics? Sincerely, Gargoyle The "ice cream truck" tune brings back floods of memories. |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Popeye The Sailor Man From: Senoufou Date: 07 May 17 - 03:11 AM This thread is making me laugh! Gallus Moll, my Father would have given you a sharp slap too! Absolute scream!! We sang these in the early fifties Gargoyle, in W London. (It was called Middlesex then) Re the ice-cream vans, the tune always started off very fast, then got slower and slower until it was almost like a dirge. I suppose it was on some wind-up mechanism (no technology then!) Of course, we revelled in singing Popeye at breakneck speed, or extremely slowly, depending on where the ice-cream man was with his music box. The slap was always delivered at the same speed though - rapidly! We had no TV, but 'Auntie'-Poppy-down-the-road had bought one for the Coronation, and we used to go before tea-time to sit with her two horrible little boys to watch Children's Hour, and that's where we first watched Popeye the Sailor Man. (black-and-white of course, on a screen about one foot square) |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Popeye The Sailor Man From: Steve Gardham Date: 07 May 17 - 04:34 AM Talking about tempo of the song this could vary on the cartoon itself and in our versions. When Popeye was singing the verse it went at a steady pace and would even slow down to deliver the last few lines at the end of the cartoon, with the toot toot on his pipe. However the tune was also played very fast and in a staccato way when the exciting action was taking place, and it was at this pace that we often sang the parodies. Remember Bluto's and Olive's version of the bawdy song 'Abraham Brown', 'Barnacle Bill the Sailor'? What a pair of voices! Oh, and Olive's 'I want a clean shaven man'. Bluto and Popeye scrapping to get a decent shave because of Olive's song and at the end she walks away with a naval officer with a big bushy beard. Those were the days! Wimpy, Swee'pea, the Goonies, Abu Hassan..... |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Popeye The Sailor Man From: Senoufou Date: 07 May 17 - 01:36 PM My husband says Popeye was broadcast in Ivory Coast many, many years ago, dubbed in French. 'Popeye Le Matelot'. |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Popeye The Sailor Man From: meself Date: 07 May 17 - 02:10 PM "on a screen about one foot square" We had a TV like that - even smaller, probably - till after I'd grown up and left home. It was bought in the '50s - they made'm to last, then. Anyway, one of the local children, from a bit of a rough home, was quoted as telling his parents that our TV was "so goddamn small, you have to have to stand in a line and take turns watching it!" |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Popeye The Sailor Man From: Senoufou Date: 08 May 17 - 10:04 AM I've been looking this up, and according to Wikipedia, the first animated Popeye cartoons were created in 1933!! I suppose his little song was to encourage children to eat up their spinach. However we always loved our spinach anyway, and never minded eating it. It didn't make us as strong as Popeye though. |
