Subject: RE: Songs with numbers in titles From: Scotus Date: 27 Nov 07 - 08:08 PM This is slight thread drift, but does anyone have verses for the 'counting backwards' song 'wheel of fortune' as sung (a long time ago) by Arty Trezise and Cilla Fisher?

Subject: RE: Songs with numbers in titles From: Charlie Baum Date: 11 Jul 10 - 02:14 PM i am looking for a recording of the twelve robbers sung in german "The twelve robbers" (Zhilo Dvenadsat Razboinikov) is actually an old Russian song, usually sung in Russian, though you may be thinking of a German translation I'm unaware of. It's a traditional Russian setting of a poem by Nikolai Alekseevich Nekrasov (1821-1878). See, e.g., http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dv1HuqJsyro. --Charlie Baum |
