G'day Ray,

Obviously, since the words in Martin Page's book are already songs, there are tunes to virtually all of them. I don't remember whether the tunes are identified in the text, but many people who particpated in the military adventures he covers would know the originals ... usually popular songs of the day ... "parodied" to deal with current realities ... or to provide humour to ameliorate it.

Keeping the original tunes is often important, with songs like this, because the connections with the original song were often part of the power / humour of the 'parody' / new song.

Regards,

Bob
