Thread Name: Creative/Unique/Rare Topics for Songs?
Subject: RE: Creative/Unique/Rare Topics for Songs?
For 40+ years, our folk society has had a monthly "Open Sing" which almost always has an announced theme/topic to stimulate minds. In 500-600 sings, there have been some very unique topics along with the obvious ones like Love, Birds, Sex, Sea Songs, etc....
I have led sings on "The Four Elements..Earth, Air, Water & Fire"
"Oaths, Promises, Threats and Various Imprecations", and several others.
My wife got a rousing reception with "Moxie, Chutzpah, Gall and Effrontery"
I'll try to remember some of the other odd ones.
(Oh... one was called "Oh No, Not Again?" to remind everyone of songs which had been over done until many were sick of them.)
