20 Jun 20 - 04:44 PM (#4060396) Subject: BS: Spoonerism From: Peter the Squeezer Listening to Classic FM (UK radio) earlier this evening - programme featuring film music. One track was "Epilogue" from Frozen, by Christphe Beck. I'm sure the announcer said it was recorded by "The Frozen Cast Pit Orchestra". |

21 Jun 20 - 07:53 AM (#4060525) Subject: RE: BS: Spoonerism From: Doug Chadwick last.fm have a reference to 'Frozen Cast Pit Orchestra' so my guess is that that is exactly what the Classic FM intended to say. DC |

21 Jun 20 - 08:26 AM (#4060530) Subject: RE: BS: Spoonerism From: Jos Perhaps the OP meant to say 'malapropism', thinking there was a misused word, but I also think it is what the announcer meant to say. |

21 Jun 20 - 09:02 AM (#4060534) Subject: RE: BS: Spoonerism From: Doug Chadwick I have just listened to the relevant section of the programme on catch up and 'Frozen Cast Pit Orchestra' is definitely what the announcer said. Presumably, it was recorded by musicians from the orchestra pit for the stage show, which uses a live cast, rather than those who played for the animation. DC |

What I have read says that he was an albino and that spoonerisms are not uncommon with that condition. And the switcheroo was more general like when he was introduced to a person and said "was it you or your brother who was killed in the war?" |

25 Jun 20 - 03:56 AM (#4061274) Subject: RE: BS: Spoonerism From: Mr Red albinoism & spoonerism - BBC Radio many years ago. They said it was not uncommon, not automatic. I seem to have lost the start of my poem but this is what I remember: Bunting and frolics And buckling folicles Friar Tuck .............. (pause for the audience to reach the obvious) Fire Truck Wind all directions Dwindled erections Once, on stage, I was just into the next poem and single laugh came from the audience, I remarked "was that funny?" and the lady's husband said "I just explained Friar Tuck" - the best laugh "I" got that night. |
