Subject: RE: Lyr Add: New song needs a common tune
Thanks for the suggestions. I have to admit that "Little Old Log Cabin" appealed to me, but I was hoping for something even more well-known. "Battle Hymn," hmmm? I'll try singing it that way and see.


And for Gargoyle and pdq, I DO see the obvious problem.

... the problem of attracting iggerent trolls.



Did I post "Too Much for the Whistle?" I think I did. That one had several familiar songs that fit. Though it's more fun to sing to "Roll On, Little Dogies," I chose "Red River Valley," since even more know that tune than "Dogies." That is, the "Dogies" version with the two refrains. The other version is probably as well-known as "Red River," but didn't sing as well.

I'm working on the "Bush-War Blues" and "My God, How the Money Rolls In," too. Perhaps I'll post those lyrics under separate threads.
