Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Boy Meets Girl' a trad. bawdy song From: GUEST Date: 31 Aug 12 - 10:28 AM hi I found this song today as was looking it for it, and put in a line i remembered- google did the trick. When I was at school in Fareham, in the South of England in the late 1970's this song was popular amongst my peers, but not sung- just said as a poem. I have it written down somewhere. I dont think there is any truth in this rumour, but the gossip amongst us at school was that the brother of the boyfriend of one of the girls in our year wrote it. I always found it crude but witty, and have remembered it over the years, hence idly searching for it today, in a web surfing spree. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Boy Meets Girl' a trad. bawdy song From: GUEST Date: 24 Jan 13 - 08:03 AM I can't add much to this, but I recently bought a piece of furniture which had a handwritten copy of these words/lyrics in a drawer. From the age of the paper and furniture and the style of writing, I would estimate that this goes back to the 1950s, maybe earlier. I'd love to know more about the song as it may help me to age the piece! |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Boy Meets Girl' a trad. bawdy song From: GUEST,red_101au Date: 21 Apr 13 - 11:34 PM I remember this song very well, My father had the record "bawdy ballads" and would play it frequently. I must have been about 10 or 12 at the time making it around 1972. other songs on the album included: friggin in the riggin (twas on the good ship Venus) keyhole in the door your drunk your drunk you silly old fool (not sure if its the title) Agreed that it had a feel of being an English song but the style definitely sounded country American. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Boy Meets Girl' a trad. bawdy song From: Jim Carroll Date: 22 Apr 13 - 03:32 AM "1950's in the North of England" About the same time I heard the short recitation (in Liverpool) which more or less sums the song up: Hand in hand, Gland in hand, Gland in gland, Glaaaand Jim Carroll |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Boy Meets Girl' a trad. bawdy song From: MGM·Lion Date: 22 Apr 13 - 04:10 AM How 'traditional' is this song? Appears to be anonymous, but that not same thing [but don't let's get started on that again!]. Clearly work of one writer, steeped in the traditional convention that the astounding obligingness of all young women in 'boy meets girl' folksongs is equalled only by their astounding fertility ~~ never ever ever known to say no, or to fail to fall pregnant after only a single act of sexual congress! Any clue as to authorship, anyone? ~M~ |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Boy Meets Girl' a trad. bawdy song From: Steve Gardham Date: 22 Apr 13 - 10:57 AM Not come across this one but the style does look familiar. Talking blues? Cuntry Music? But surely 'vicar' would make it English? Vernacular certainly looks English. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Boy Meets Girl' a trad. bawdy song From: GUEST Date: 03 Mar 16 - 04:45 PM I first saw this 'poem' written on the bottom of a locker drawer in the infirmary of RHS Holbrook in 1964 |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Boy Meets Girl' a trad. bawdy song From: GUEST,guest Date: 03 Mar 16 - 08:25 PM Hope Steve's cuntry music was a slip of the fingers |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Boy Meets Girl' a trad. bawdy song From: Steve Gardham Date: 04 Mar 16 - 03:34 PM Totally unintentional........probably. Further thoughts, a little too sophisticated for your average bawdy folk. Bottled Bass must surely be British. Written by a Brit in American country blues style. Perhaps specifically written for the bawdy album audience or just as likely a Forces production from something like the Korean War. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Boy Meets Girl' a trad. bawdy song From: doc.tom Date: 05 Mar 16 - 04:41 AM Vague memories of a shorter version amongst school peers in Sussex in 1960s. Also version of Jim's 'Four stages of courtship' - Hand in hand Hand in gland Gland in hand Gland in gland. Oh, dear - memories of youth! |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Boy Meets Girl' a trad. bawdy song From: GUEST,Spike in NOLA Date: 01 Feb 25 - 09:14 PM This was in a dog-eared tome titled "Rugby Songs" in the UK, published around 1961-65. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Boy Meets Girl' a trad. bawdy song From: MaJoC the Filk Date: 03 Feb 25 - 12:15 PM IIRC it was "Why Was He Born So Beautiful, and Other Rugby Songs", or one of its successors; there was also an LP, (dis)credited to the Jock Strappe Ensemble. Once they ran out of songs (or town?), they were followed by Rugby Jokes, Son Of Rugby Jokes (cover picture: a small tot sitting at the feet of a field-ready rugby player), and What Rugby Jokes Did Next (cover picture not describable while the wimmin, God bless 'em, are milling about). Hope this helps. |
