Subject: RE: Who'll come a-Volsung Brunhilde with me?
Hi -

I'm trying to track down either the lyrics / or an .mp3 (or other audio or video file) - or both - of a parody song "The Three Minute Ring of the Nibelung", or a similar name. It's a parody of Stan Rodger's 1984 song, Barrett's Privateers.

Google has failed me on this one. The single link that Google found was to a 2004 message on www.mudcat.org. I've tried contacting the author of that message, but to no avail. The only thing that the link had was the text of the chorus used in the parody:

"Gotterdammerung, I was told,
the Nibelung made a ring of gold,
You'll feel the Fire,
Shed some tears,
when the Valkyries ride in their steel Braziers,
and the voice of Siegfried fills your ears!"

Any assistance you could provide would be gratefully accepted.
