01 Jun 08 - 02:13 AM (#2354155) Subject: Chick Pulling Songs From: The Fooles Troupe I'm sorry, but I just couldn't look at the thread titled 'net pulling songs' one more time... So - just What Folk Songs do you reckon should be mentioned here? |

01 Jun 08 - 02:44 AM (#2354164) Subject: RE: Chick Pulling Songs From: GUEST,Jeff Don't think this is considered a 'folk song', but 'Don't Let The Sun Catch You Cryin' was ALWAYS aces. 'Darkness, Darkness' was another one. 'The Wind Cried Mary', 'Til I Gain Control Again', 'Brown Eyed Girl', 'Hard Headed Woman', 'Sad Lisa', 'Fire And Rain', 'Needle And The Damage Done'...I could go on, but that's enough for a start. Out of ALL those songs, though the G&P song NEVER failed. |

01 Jun 08 - 07:10 AM (#2354253) Subject: RE: Chick Pulling Songs From: GUEST,JM I would think most sea shanties would be out of the running! Thats pretty much all that The Rambling Sailor is about! And as for I'll Go List For A Sailor - "My days were honey and my nights were the same Till a man called Cobb from the ocean came with his dark hair and his muscular frame A captain on board of a whaler He spent his money both brisk and free With his tales of the land and his songs of the sea And stole my Sarahs heart from me And blighted the hopes of a tailor Once I was with her and in came Cobb 'Avast!' he cried 'you blubbery swab If you don't knock off I'll scuffle your knob' And Sarah smiled on the sailor" |

01 Jun 08 - 01:50 PM (#2354457) Subject: RE: Chick Pulling Songs From: Celtaddict And here I was looking for a chicken-plucking work song. My old man's a chicken-plucker, now whattayou think about that, He wears a chicken-plucker's collar, he wears a chicken-plucker's hat. Or I'm not the chicken-plucker, I'm the chicken-plucker's son And I'm sitting pluckin' chickens 'til the chicken-plucker comes. No, that's funnier with pheasant-plucker. |

01 Jun 08 - 01:58 PM (#2354460) Subject: RE: Chick Pulling Songs From: Melissa Jimmie Ballard sang a classy chicken plucking song called Chicken Plucker. "I'm a chicken plucker, plucking on the daylight shift plucking comes natural..guess I've got the gift" |

01 Jun 08 - 08:26 PM (#2354759) Subject: RE: Chick Pulling Songs From: Charley Noble Obviously none (with a few exceptions just maybe) of you "folks" have ever plucked a chicken. After slitting its throat the next step is immersing it in a pot of boiling water and after a few minutes you'll find that the feathers can be plucked out readily. It really doesn't require a work song but my brother and I used to improvise, making use of the current rock and roll songs of our day (the late Pleistocene). That was really the origin of how "Wake Up Little Suzie" became "Wake Up Susiana." The world is now a better place because of our creative efforts. No, we never plucked a chick, that didn't happen until we were both much older, but still little wiser. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

01 Jun 08 - 08:29 PM (#2354761) Subject: RE: Chick Pulling Songs From: Charley Noble Another afterthought: Chicks are really too small for plucking but one might consider plucking pullets. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Blessings, Barbara And speaking of chick pulling songs, here's an interesting story about the creation of a "chick pulling song" Song for Vic (Borneo) . Scroll down to a post midway from "Vic at work" for whom the song was written. |

02 Jun 08 - 03:42 AM (#2354884) Subject: RE: Chick Pulling Songs From: Tradsinger Listen to the words of 'The Nutting Girl' - a bloke sings and his voice is so beautiful that a girl throws off her clothes and offers him her body. It is a technique I have tried on many occasions but the results are patchy to say the least. Tradsinger |

02 Jun 08 - 10:02 AM (#2355133) Subject: RE: Chick Pulling Songs From: theleveller 'Chick pulling' - what a delightfully quaint turn of phrase - haven't heard that since about 1969. I'm not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's son And I'm only plucking pheasants till the pheasant plucker comes. |

02 Jun 08 - 01:06 PM (#2355287) Subject: RE: Chick Pulling Songs From: Hawker If we are talking about 'chick' as in the fairer sex, speaking as a female, I'd have to say its not the song but the execution of that song - there are one or two men who could sing ANYTHING and I would go weak at the knees.
