Subject: Hull, Halifax and Hell From: Willie-O Date: 10 Mar 99 - 08:46 PM Hull Quebec is right across the Ottawa River from Ottawa where I'm from...the bars were open two hours later on that side so it had a rowdy image...that line has always resonated for me. Art you oughtta be ashamed of yourself but I guess that's not likely. Fewer verse, not more. A sceptic tank? Is that where they lock up religious fanatics in a rational country? (Or sceptics in a religious one? I'd be there. Don't want to contemplate where you'd be.) But to get to the original point of this thread, "Alabama John Cherokee" is about the best call and scream song I know. Not very Rennaisance, but since you ast...it's in the DT as John Cherokee. Got a kind of calypso feel. Here are the first couple of verses not in DT: 1 2 OK it doesn't make good geographic sense, whaddaya want. BC

Subject: RE: Yell-response songs From: Wolfgang Date: 10 Mar 99 - 11:27 AM Art, ever since I read in the song "The Dalesman Litany" the line "from Hull and Halifax and Hell, good Lord, deliver me" I knew that my name is better "songable" in English than in German. Maybe, for a change, I should ask for a tune? Wolfgang |

A German Mudcat--who is he?

Subject: RE: Yell-response songs From: Musicman Date: 10 Mar 99 - 01:14 AM here's one for the old time set: Around her neck she wore a yellow ribbon. In the chorus everyone echos 'faraway!' (NOT THE T O & D SONG!) And for you britishers there is of course "Lambeth Walk" OI! |

Subject: RE: Yell-response songs From: Jo Taylor Date: 08 Mar 99 - 06:53 PM Oh dear, it must be the whisky. Try again - Seven Drunken Nights Jo |
Subject: RE: Yell-response songs From: Jo Taylor Date: 08 Mar 99 - 06:52 PM Dani - there are a couple of others in the DT, but here's a recent thread - Seven Drunken Nights |
Subject: RE: Yell-response songs From: SeanM Date: 08 Mar 99 - 06:39 PM Dani: Don't be to surprised about not finding it... the DB has it as 'Shickered as He Could Be'. It's a little different from most versions I've heard, but it's still the same song. Bit of a job finding it, though. M |

Subject: RE: Yell-response songs From: O'Boyle Date: 06 Mar 99 - 11:36 PM In the song Waxies Dargle, the chorus or refrain has the audience or other band members and the singer shouting at each other, "What'll you have?" "I'll have a pint." "I'll have a pint with you, sir." The refrain then ends with, "if one of you doesn't order soon, you'll be thrown right out of the boozer." I t can be arranged very comically.

Subject: RE: Yell-response songs From: Big Mick Date: 06 Mar 99 - 05:50 PM And of course there is Black Velvet Band, when the singer sings "You'd think she was Queen of the Land" and the crowd responds "And she was". |
Subject: RE: Yell-response songs From: Dani Date: 06 Mar 99 - 08:36 AM Sean, maybe my bar nights are too far behind me, but I don't know that song and couldn't find it in the DB (honestly, I looked!). It sounds HYSTERICAL with the call and response. Tell more? |
Subject: RE: Yell-response songs From: gargoyle Date: 06 Mar 99 - 01:46 AM While not precisely a song, this was done by British Isle Scouts in the early 70's. It was claimed that in heavy fog the calls would go between two ships that were passing.
Deffinately appropriate for a lively Ren.Faire responce. The leader is solo....the group responds. The greater the vigor of the leader ...the more the group gets into it.

Subject: RE: Yell-response songs From: alison Date: 05 Mar 99 - 10:52 PM Hi, The Holy Ground, (Fine girl ye are!) Not medieval... but you get to yell.... Slainte alison |
Subject: RE: Yell-response songs From: SeanM Date: 05 Mar 99 - 07:49 PM A local (very good) pub band around here does 'Seven Drunken Nights' with a call and response section to each verse, along the lines of 'And so I called to my wife, and I says to her...(all the men) HEY WIFE!!! (all the women) WHAT DO YOU WANT, YOU DRUNKEN SOT!?!?' Also a lot of groups sing Finnegan's Wake with call 'n' response... M |

Subject: RE: Yell-response songs From: MMario Date: 05 Mar 99 - 06:24 PM At several ren-faires they do "The old Dun cow" with the audience yelling "MacIntyre" MMario |
Subject: RE: Yell-response songs From: Bert Date: 05 Mar 99 - 02:50 PM My Brother Sylveste Bert. |
Subject: RE: Yell-response songs From: rechal Date: 05 Mar 99 - 02:10 PM It's in the DT database. Do a search for "Anne Boleyn" or "head tucked." Caryl P. Weiss also recorded an album with this title. |
Subject: Yell-response songs From: helen Date: 05 Mar 99 - 02:00 PM Have you heard the song "With Her Head Tucked Underneath her Arm"? It's one of those songs where the audience yells back part of the chorus: Sung: with her head (HEAD!)tucked (TUCKED) underneath her arm she walks the bloody tower, with her head (HEAD) tucked (TUCKED) underneath her arm at the midnight hour. Well, I'm looking for other songs like that where the audience yells back to perform at Renaissance faires. It would be nice if it had a Medieval or Renaissance theme to it, or at least a Scotsman theme..but I'm open to anything :) Any info will be greatly appriciated. |
