Thread Name: HYMNS and Folk Tunes?
Subject: RE: HYMNS and Folk Tunes?
So called "worship songs", usually projected on the wall, with fatuous non-rhyming (but sometimes near-rhyming) words irritate me beyond measure. There's one, some drivel about "you for me and me for you" from "The Iona Community", whatever that is, sung to a version of The Shearing's Not For You (aka Kelvin Grove), which turns an unbelievably lovely melody into a trite dotted-crotchet jingle.
