Subject: RE: BS: I think there's a song challenge here!!! From: Mrrzy Date: 21 Feb 02 - 01:29 PM Here is my answer; I borrowed the tune from The Green Fields of France, and also some of the phrasing. Without permission, so I am not claiming authorship here. Lament Of the Crematory O where have you gone, my grandmother sweet I hope I have not offended anyone, especially the author of the original song or tune. |

Subject: RE: BS: I think there's a song challenge here!!! From: SharonA Date: 22 Feb 02 - 10:01 AM I made this post to the "Creamatorium [sic] Debacle" thread yesterday, asking people's opinions as to whether I should ask Pene Azul to remove my parody song from that thread. In fairness, I think I should also ask people who are following this thread but not that one. So, here's a link to my post: post from SharonA 21-Feb-02 - 07:13 PM: "Should it stay or should it go now?" What do you think? Sharon |

From: Genie Date: 24 Feb 02 - 01:20 AM Capri, Actually there was at least one parody not too long after 9-11 -- the Banana Boat Song parody (Come Mr Taliban, turn over Bin Laden). I fully AGREE, though, that song challenge!s should not have to be funny. Why not have challenge!s that evoke beautiful, moving songs sometimes? Genie |

We Never Did Care Too Much for Grandma
We really never cared too much for Gramma;
We couldn't stand the things she'd say an' do Though her spirit was like leather They left her bones out in the weather, Now she's out there causing grief for someone new. Cho. Now we don't much care what became of Gramma; Cho. We really never cared too much for Gramma; Regards, A |
Subject: RE: BS: I think there's a song challenge here!!! From: Bullfrog Jones Date: 11 Mar 02 - 07:08 PM SharonA --- Way back in this thread (which I've only just picked up on) you said: "Re my own body: If it were possible in this day and age, I would want to be buried without a coffin and to be allowed to decompose and let the nutrients of the body return to the earth. But I don't think that's legal." Well I don't know about where you are, but here in the U.K. 'green funerals' are becoming quite common. A quick search brought up www.naturaldeath.org.uk (sorry, don't know how to do a blicky) which has details of about 130 woodland burial grounds and the possibility of using cardboard coffins to ensure rapid bio-degradability.The site also had links to the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand. BTW, I hope you don't need their services too soon! |
Subject: RE: BS: I think there's a song challenge here!!! From: Nigel Parsons Date: 12 Mar 02 - 05:17 AM SharonA: I agree with your initial posting, The perpetrator should be dealt with: Did you mean the person who failed to cremate the bodies, or the perpetrator of the song ?? Seriously though, Leave the song and the link in. Removing it would suggest that it should not have been included at all, and ones immediate response to anything, either good news, or atrocity, is often a truer reflection of its impact. No-one writing a song now about the Titanic could capture any of the immediacy of feeling at the time. In a few years you can look back and decide whether your response was appropriate, but remeber, that will be a different you. |
Subject: RE: BS: I think there's a song challenge here!!! From: catspaw49 Date: 12 Mar 02 - 06:23 AM Amos, you have done it again. Just the right touch IMHO. Sat here singing it to an amalgamated tune and frankly it sounds pretty old-timey including the lyric! Great job!! Once again, you ARE da' MAN!!! Spaw |
