Thread Name: Cheerful tunes mismatch to serious songs
Subject: RE: Cheerful tunes mismatch to serious songs
The other day I found the original tune of "The death of Bill Brown" on the British Library Website, and I think that would qualify - it's a jolly major-key tune with a "fol-de-rol" refrain. I'm learning Bellamy's much grimmer version at the moment, but I don't think I'd have the nerve to do the original.
