17 Jul 01 - 11:58 AM (#508665) Subject: Popeye's Theme Music From: GUEST,Nick I am looking for the name of the little ditty that I know from the Theme of Popeye cartoons, not the part with the Lyrics "I'm strong to the finish cause I eat my spiach" though that may be part of the tune I'm looking for. It starts out kind of like this Toodle-oot doot tooot toodle oodle oout..... (Oh that song I am sure you are thinking) Any Ideas? Thanks Nick |

Is that abuse of technology or what? It actually goes through most of the tune not just a measure or two. It takes me that long to find the damn thing and figure out how to answer it. DaveJ |

17 Jul 01 - 12:36 PM (#508703) Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music From: SharonA Are there lyrics to the Sailor's Hornpipe? (Yes, I did check the DT!) Also, is there a home page for JC's Tunefinder that more thoroughly explains how to use it and what all the notations mean? (The little chart isn't helping me much to wrap my head around it.) |

17 Jul 01 - 12:55 PM (#508725) Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music From: Jim Krause Sailor's Hornpipe, aka College Hornpipe can be found in many military fife tune books, such as the one published by Ft. Snelling in St. Paul, Minnesota. Widely collected, it can also be found in many fiddle tune collections such as The Phillips Collection of Fiddle Tunes by Stacy Phillips published by Mel Bay. It is also in Paul Brody's Fiddler's Fake Book. The tune itself dates from the last quarter of the 18th century according to Samuel P. Bayard in his book Dance to the Fiddle, March to the Fife: Instrumental Folk Tunes in Pennsylvania. Jim |

17 Jul 01 - 01:00 PM (#508734) Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music From: LR Mole Don't know if there are words (particularly ones written at the same time as the tune), but I worked one summer with an actor who had had to master the dance, and an impressive thing it was, involving right-arm-across stomach, left-arm-across-small-of-back, then reversing, and then shading-eye-with either-hand and peering off to the sides, while sort of laterally hopping. I was consumed with envy. The whole thing would probably become insanely complicated with a penny whistle involved. A person might hurt himself. |

17 Jul 01 - 11:30 PM (#509239) Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music From: CRANKY YANKEE I don't think I wrote the last two lines of the melody right. I'll try it again. |

18 Jul 01 - 03:52 PM (#509812) Subject: You Dont seem that cranky to me From: GUEST,Nick The notation you gave me is just the kind of thing I am looking for, but I think as I said in my first posting there is another tune, or part of the same tune, but it is not the melody that goes with the lyrics.It starts out kind of like this Toodle-oot doot tooot toodle oodle oout.... THanks for the above though I will play with it! Nick |

18 Jul 01 - 04:01 PM (#509819) Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music From: MMario Nick - I am pretty sure the sailor's hornpipe is what you are looking for. Try JC's tunefinder and choose abc format is standard notation doesn't work for you. |

19 Jul 01 - 04:25 AM (#510183) Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music From: pavane As noted above, it might be found as 'College Hornpipe'. The actual Popeye SONG has collected a large number of mostly bawdy verses - has anyone made a collection of them? A mild example

19 Jul 01 - 09:18 PM (#510903) Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music From: Burke SharonA, if you click on find wide you'll see what the codes mean. The PDF or the GIF versions should display as sheet music. I can't figure out Index, but the meter column is your time signature & the next column gives the key. MMario, it works for penneywhistle. A penneywhistle is in D, so you just download the D version. |

20 Jul 01 - 08:43 PM (#511655) Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music From: Peter K (Fionn) I should have said that you can click onwards from there to bring up the tune in various other formats -all fairly self-explanatory, unlike the way the options are presented elsewhere in the tunefinder. |

21 Jul 01 - 10:34 AM (#511968) Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music From: CRANKY YANKEE M One of the peculiarities, which I fall into, myself every now and then, is IF THE WORD ENDS IN " I N", ADD A "G" (SOMETIMES O-N OR A=N) LIKE IN, BOSTING MASSACHUSSETTS. OF "CAPTING" INSTEAD OF "cAPTAIN" But, if the word ends in "I N G" , knock off the "G" Which leaves us with, I LOVES TO GO SWIMMIN' WITH BALDHEADED "WIMMING" GUEST NICK: Yes that is exactly what you're looking for. In the movie, "Popeye" Robin Williams sings it near the end of the movie. In the old Popeye cartoon "Sinbad " Popeye sings it "himself" As I stated previously, it is a "Waltz Clog" not a hornpipe and th3e refrain is the well known, "I'm Popeye the Sailor Man," etc They do play the "Sailors Hornpipe" at th4e beginning of most of the cartoons, but that is not the Popeye theme. The one I posted above is. Believe it or not, I did research this, when I started to look like Popeye, and l;itle kids were asking me for Popeye's autograph. |
