25 Jun 17 - 12:55 PM (#3862843) Subject: RE: Oh Jeremy Corbyn - Song Creation From: Jack Campin Glastonbury is a high-profile event, and for this song to take off there (and at similar gatherings) is something new. I don't think the crowd at Woodstock thought up jingles about John Kennedy, did they? |

26 Jun 17 - 04:23 PM (#3863023) Subject: RE: Oh Jeremy Corbyn - Song Creation From: Jack Campin I am sure there's more to it than that - Solomon Levy was a real person and there were good reasons why he might have inspired an anonymously improvised song. More on the Glastonbury event; http://www.nme.com/news/watch-glastonbury-silent-disco-crowd-chant-oh-jeremy-corbyn-to-white-stripes-2091967 There are disgusted responses in the Spectator and the Telegraph as you might expect; it looks like it did the trick like a good political chant should. If it ends up doing for Theresa May what Lilliburlero did for James VII&II, nobody's going to complain it was a bit dull. |

26 Jun 17 - 05:20 PM (#3863028) Subject: RE: Oh Jeremy Corbyn - Song Creation From: FreddyHeadey Quite a painful listen is that though. I'm not a football watcher, I suppose those are the accepted notes now? And I'd never heard of the White Stripes. The original "proper" tune is a lot better. I don't expect many will go back to check the White Stripes tune. https://youtu.be/Mut_jxG1Uhc I wimped out and prefer the rather tame but more melodic Rockabye Baby! version of the tune to sing along with https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=L5N6iLLGPyg# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm looking forward to the next Conservative Conference video "Oh, Theresa May-yay" ? |
