The grand old duke of york is wrong The british grenadier is the tune that gets played when a movie wants you to know you are in England. It is almost the archetypal song for defining the British. |

06 Aug 05 - 01:31 PM (#1536474) Subject: Origins: The Pheasant Pluckers Song From: Joe Offer We've had a number of threads on this song (see crosslinks above), but no solid information about where the song comes from. Is it from the Wurzels, or where's it from? Joan from Wigan posted an ABC of the tune for her song in this thread (I'll post a MIDI when MIDI FTP gets fixed) - is Joan's tune the tune for the song in the DT, or is it of her own making? -Joe Offer- |

25 Jul 08 - 04:01 AM (#2397405) Subject: RE: Tune Req: The Pheasant Pluckers Song From: Tangledwood It looks as if there are probably versions to many different tunes. This one has spoken verses with sung choruses. I know nothing about it's origin. http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~mentor01/pheasantplucker.mp3 |
