Subject: A history of farting in early music
A brief history of farting in early music and literature.
This article started out as a bit of silliness, but soon became a serious study when I uncovered surprising historical meanings behind flatulence. Spanning the medieval, renaissance and baroque periods, with examples of iconography and a music video of William Ellis' flatulent song of 1652, 'My Lady and her Mayd'.
