"The Song of the Vulgar Boatmen", not so much of a pun as perhaps a mondegreen, as that's what I thought I heard it announced as on the wireless when I was a youngster. |

24 Dec 22 - 04:48 AM (#4160086) Subject: RE: Song title puns From: GUEST "Carmen, Toothy Gordon, moored", a classic from Frank Muir or Denis Norden (can't remember which), from the BBC radio show "My Word". Each week, IIRC, they were given a song title or phrase to explain it's derivation, and I think their take on "Come Into the Garden, Maud" was just so funny....I vaguely recall others, but that one sticks in my mind for some reason. |
