Thread Name: Lyr Req: Dahn the Plug Hole
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dahn the Plug Hole
Just a query but why is it listed as 'Dahn the plug 'ole' and not Down the plug hole. I am aware that as many of the music hall songs were made famous in London there may have been a tendency to pronounce the words that way but that would also be true of many other words in the song eg. gone would have been sung gorn. Why not just leave the words written correctly and allow the singer to pronounce them as he/she would normally rather than imposing a false accent. Might make searching easier too!:)
