Thread Name: What 'serious' song do you giggle through?
Subject: RE: What 'serious' song do you giggle through?
About three years ago I took my wife to see Micheal O Domhnaill and Paddy Glackin at the Irish centre in Hammersmith. Micheal sang 'The Death Of Queen Jane' and my wife (Jane!) who always had a hard time taking solemn Irish ballads and their aficionados seriously and who was also six months pregnant with our daughter got an uncontrollable fit of the giggles when he got to the bit about the queen telling the doctor or whoever to cut open her side to get 'my bay-beee'. Cracked me up as well.
