Subject: RE: Dutch theme evening song help ideas From: Dave the Gnome Date: 14 Apr 02 - 04:58 PM Ah - I remember now. I guess it was not copied from an earlier work then - Old memory playing erm, thingies, y'know, whatsits, again...;-) To add to the original list and get back on thread, hows about -
Roll-up Alabama Roll-up or Go to one of the famous museums in Amsterdam. Turn on a loud music machine with flashing lights and then start to play mouth organ. Then you could say... I played my harp in Ann Franks disco. Well, what do you expect late on Sunday;-) Cheers

Subject: RE: Dutch theme evening song help ideas From: CarolC Date: 16 Apr 02 - 06:00 PM Are you just looking for songs about the Netherlands and Dutch people, or do you want any actual Dutch folk songs?
Here's a link that appears to have quite a few Dutch folk songs (in Dutch!), just in case you want any of those... |

Subject: RE: Dutch theme evening song help ideas From: bflat Date: 16 Apr 02 - 06:09 PM The Dutchman by Michael Smith. I don't know if it is the same one sighted by Rich and Dee. But as we know many songs can have the same title. Ellen |

Subject: RE: Dutch theme evening song help ideas From: clansfolk Date: 17 Apr 02 - 04:54 AM thanks u awl - there's some great "ideas" coming up - Dutch songs in their native language? - emmm! I think learning 1.5 hrs of new songs is going to be bad enough!!! let alone learning a new language - and if we bluff it, a Flying (or maybe Frying as it's in a restaurant!) Dutchman would be in the audience.....
Dave the Gnome - any chance of getting to Singleton Day of Dance this year?? or are you off to Liverpool - cycling, running whatever on the 15th July ........., Pete |

Subject: RE: Dutch theme evening song help ideas From: Guessed Date: 17 Apr 02 - 09:40 AM Your Tiny Hand is Friesian Oh well! It would not be funny if you said Friesland would it? I believe the Frieslanders can be the butt of Dutch jokes as they are a small corner, culurally and dialectically distinct and prefer not to be called Dutch, though they do acknowledge Netherlands, and maybe Benelux. |

Subject: RE: Dutch theme evening song help ideas From: Guessed Date: 17 Apr 02 - 09:42 AM would clog reference be any good? Cheese a Jolly Good Fellow? no? I thought not |

Subject: RE: Dutch theme evening song help ideas From: Nigel Parsons Date: 17 Apr 02 - 09:50 AM The Frieslanders are supposed to be very staid. It is said that they remove the rooster from the hen run in preparation for tha Sabbath. |

Subject: RE: Dutch theme evening song help ideas From: Paddy Plastique Date: 17 Apr 02 - 10:22 AM Elvis Costello's 'New Amsterdam' and, of course, 'Vincent' (It is about a Dutchman...) Any Loyalists out there to suggest a few songs about Good King Billy?? (who was anawr bleddy Dutchman) 'We are the Billy Boys' might be a bit too strong for those more used to Edam, Gouda & that Heineken piddle :-> |
