Last night a song was introduced as "Containing a lot of nautical terms. You can read into the song what you like, but it is a song containing a lot of nautical terms"

As when dancing used to be defined (in speech, rather than in writing) as "a naval exchange without loss of seamen".

Many of the songs MtheGM's asking about would be regarded as "rude, crude and unattractive", to use a term current where I am (Oz) and many could also be described as politically incorrect. Being known to be coarse at times, I was asked by Budgie to join his workshop on Filthy songs and recitations at the National last Easter but, although my intentions were honourably dishonourable, illness caused me to dishonour my promise to contribute. But it was a great workshop.

Cheers, Rowan
