Thread Name: Holy Modal Rounders Roundup
Subject: RE: The Holy Modal Rounders
Rick can answer this, I'm sure: Wasn't it the Rounders that gave us the definitive rendition of "Flop-Eared Mule?" You remember, the one with the classic, if elemental words:Mule. mule, mule, mule, Flop-eared, flop-eared, flop-eared mule; Mule, mule, mule, mule, Flop-eared, flop-eared mule. (repeated until you run out of tune) And when the tune was played again, didn't they sing: Real world, real world, Real, real, real world; Real world, real world, Real, real world. Real, real, real, real, Real, real, real world; Real, real, real, real, Real, real world. (go back to square one) Someone else can figure out where to put the missing question mark and whether or not to spell the above "reel." Sandy
