Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Woodpecker Song
Subject: RE: The Woodpecker Song
Well, I know a different one all together. It's a group choral piece. . . the arranger slipps my mind but the song is in SATB arrangement and is in a sort of round The tenors start off with a VERY repetitive "Woodpecker, woodpecker, woodpecker, woodpecker" And then the Bases join in with: "BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG," in a counter-point sort of syncopation thing. Then the Altos and Sopranos get in on the gig with a little verse of: "Banging against a dead bough, a double-dead, double-dead bough, double-dead-bough, double-double-double-double-dead double-dead bough, double-double-double-double-dead double-dead dead-bough"

And so forth. . . it's a very bizarre song and not, I think the one your friend is looking for. . . but I thought I'd throw my two cents in anyway.
