Click here for a previous thread called "Songs for Scouts." Now, if you want to get obnoxious or maybe a bit raunchy, try the "Naughty Kids" threads here and here. Oh, and click here for the "Prairie Home Companion Camp Songbook." Hope that helps. -Joe Offer- Say, I'm trying to find a copy of the Oak Publications 100-something plus five camp songs book - anybody wanna sell one? |

15 Apr 07 - 11:17 AM (#2025945) Subject: RE: I'm Looking for Camp Songs From: Rog Peek According to his brother Michael, "Soon after Phil Ochs arrived in NYC in 1962 he appeared on an album of camp songs......" for which he earned the much needed sum of 50 dollars. Full story can be found here: http://pobox.upenn.edu/~lapis/camp.html The details are as follows: Campers -- Camp Favorites (Cameo C-1047) 1963 Side 1 The Welcome Song [1:46] We'll Build a Bungelow [2:02] Polly Wolly Doodle [2:08] Gee Mom [2:13] Patsy Ory Ory Aye [2:11] Cannibal King [2:21] Side 2 Hambone [3:11] Friends Friends Friends [1:49] I've Got Sixpence [2:00] A Thousand Years Ago [2:10] Adam and Eve [2:05] Hand me Down My Walkin' Cane [2:01] All songs credited as "Traditional", Wyncote Music ASCAP. If anyone would like the lyrics to any of these, please let me know. You will have to be patient though, as I will need to transcribe them from the tracks. |

16 Apr 07 - 11:11 AM (#2026861) Subject: RE: I'm Looking for Camp Songs From: ced2 The Woodcraft Folk (the co-operative alternative to the scouts), here in the UK produced a book of songs for the young comrades to sing when at camp. One of the more notable entries was Holy Ground (also known as Fine Girl You Are). I thought that it was remarkably liberating to have children between the ages of six and sixteen sing a song extolling the virtues of ladies of the red light district!! |

16 Apr 07 - 05:48 PM (#2027277) Subject: RE: I'm Looking for Camp Songs From: Herga Kitty I have a January 1968 copy of the very eclectic Forest School Camps songbook - just words, no tunes, no attributions to the songwriters (who include Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan and Ewan McColl, as well as anon). Includes Aunt Rhody, which I remember being sung by the Springfields when they included Dusty. And also, hurray, hurray, the song of the Salvation Army. Kitty (feeling very ancient) |

17 Apr 07 - 11:29 AM (#2027853) Subject: RE: I'm Looking for Camp Songs From: Fred McCormick Try Smithsonian Global. They have a website set up by Smithsonian Folkways to allow people to download the entire Folkways catalogue. £10-00 per record or 99c per track. They have quite a lot of kids/camp stuff. I'd especially try searching for Ella Jenkins, Leadbelly, Pete Seeger and Ed Badeaux through their search engine. http://www.smithsonianglobalsound.org/ |

18 Apr 07 - 09:29 AM (#2028817) Subject: RE: I'm Looking for Camp Songs From: GUEST,Ken Brock Before there was Rodgers and Hammerstein, before there was Rodgers and Hart, Richard Rodgers wrote some songs at Camp Paradox with Herbert Fields (later librettist to many Broadway shows, and brother of lyricist Dorothy Fields). Among these was a parody of "The Land Where the Good Songs Go", from MISS 1917, by Jerome Kern and P.G. Wodehouse, called "The Land Where the Camp Songs Go". Richard Rodgers was the swimming counselor, and the lake at Camp Paradox had a floating raft. There was one particular camper, Ovid Rose, whom Rodgers encouraged to swim to the raft all summer. Ovid Rose finally swam to the raft the day before the farewell banquet. Rodgers and Fields wrote another song for the banquet to honor the occasion: Camp Paradox Song (Richard Rodgers and Herbert Fields, 1920) "O" stands for Ovid, who swam to the raft. "V" stands for "Vhy did he swim to the raft?" "I" stands for I who seen him swim to the raft. "D" stands for Did you see him swim to the raft. "R" stands for the Raft out to which Ovid swam. "O" stands for Ovid, who swam to the raft. "S" stands for Swimming to the raft. and "E" stands for Excellency in swimming to the raft. Dorothy Fields (Herbert's sister and lyricist for SWING TIME, SWEET CHARITY, SEESAW and many others, performs "Camp Paradox Song" here: http://www.amazon.com/Evening-Dorothy-Fields/dp/B000005ZVE/ref=sr_1_1/102-0435943-0824913?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1176422031&sr=1-1 |
