Subject: RE: Any January Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 04 Feb 21 - 06:28 AM ROLL DOWN TO RIO By Rudyard Kipling Roll down to Rio (Mainly Norfolk) This poem accompanied Rudyard Kipling's story The Beginning of the Armadillos from his book Just So Stories. Peter Bellamy sang it as Roll Down to Rio, accompanying himself on concertina, on his fourth album of songs set to Kipling's poems, Keep on Kipling. Dave Webber and Anni Fentiman sang Follow Me 'Ome and Roll Down to Rio in 1998 on their CD Bonnet & Shawl. Jon Boden sang Rolling Down to Rio as the 10 February 2011 entry of his project A Folk Song a Day. The Young'uns sang Rolling Down to Rio in 2012 on their CD When Our Grandfathers Said No. They commented in their liner notes: Rolling Down to Rio appeared in The Beginning of the Armadillos, one of Kipling's Just So Stories, and was given this lovely tune by Peter Bellamy. I've never sailed the Amazon, And I've never reached Brazil; But the Don and Magdelana, They can go there when they will! Yes, weekly from Southampton, Great steamers, white and gold, Go rolling down to Rio (Roll down—roll down to Rio!) And I'd like to roll to Rio Some day before I'm old! Portuguese landed on the soil of Guanabara Bay on the1st January 1502. The bay forms the opening of a river, hence the name ‘Rio de Janeiro’ which means ‘River of January’.

Cruel was my own true love
Oh the taller that the country grows???
He will kiss and embrace you

Subject: RE: Any January Songs? From: Helen Date: 30 Jan 21 - 01:57 PM Thanks for the info, Allan. I like a lot of pop songs but not that one. I never ever liked Bay City Rollers - not my thing - but I have all of the Alan Parsons Project albums. |

Subject: RE: Any January Songs? From: Allan Conn Date: 30 Jan 21 - 06:54 AM Helen I was going to suggest "January" too. I rather like both that and Pilot's other big hit "Magic" which has been taken up as a football chant in many a football ground. Saying that I don't mind out and out pop songs and I was only a kid at the time of its release which maybe explains why I like it. The pop songs of our childhood tend to stick with us through time - though I either like a song or not without regard to the genre! Both members of Pilot had been in the teeny-bop group Bay City Rollers but left to form Pilot before the Rollers were catapulted to teeny stardom. Though the song "January" did hit #1 in the UK charts before their former group managed to do that. Both members of Pilot then went on to work with Alan Parsons Project. For a song more suited to mudcat how about RANTIN' ROVIN' ROBIN by Burns which mentions the month of his birhday in verse one.

Subject: RE: Any January Songs? From: Helen Date: 30 Jan 21 - 02:08 AM I did a search for song: JANUARY and a whole bunch of songs came up but the one I was looking for is an old pop song called January by a group called Pilot. January - Pilot I'm not recommending it because it was annoying back in the '70's so I can't imagine it has improved with age. :-D Also, 26 January is the anniversary of the white invasion of Australia, i.e. the arrival of Captain Cook. The beginning of the end of the real life and culture for the First Nations people here. I'll have to think about whether I know any songs about it. I can't recall any at present. |

-Joe Offer-
Can you suggest any songs associated with the month of January? That is : (A) Any songs with January in the title (B) Any songs with a January date given in the lyrics (C) Any songs referencing an event that is known to have occurred in January even if the lyrics do not actually say so.
Directly below is an alphabetical index of the titles collected in this thread. If a title in this index is blue then by clicking it you should be jumped to the section of the thread in which most of the discussion and links for that title occur. If you just want to add a new post to this thread use the “Post to this Thread” button to jump to the end of the thread. I shall sometimes rearrange “late” posts to group them with their appropriate main area of discussion so that they are not overlooked.
