Thread Name: songs about the Three Kings
Subject: RE: wanted: songs about the Three Kings
Parodies are to poetry what graffiti is to architecture
Oh, oh - one of the best parodies of starsinger“s songs is by Johann W. Goethe [the most famous German poet]. (Over here three singers with a star go from house to house singing and signing the doors with a blessing on Jan 6 = Epiphanias, collecting goodies for themselves and money for the poor).
Just probe of a stanza:
We holy three kings are coming here, We are just three and never four. And if to us three a fourth king were, So were a holy threeking more.
