Lyr/Tune Req: Dead Dog Scrumpy

Does anyone know the tune for Dead Dog Scrumpy? The lyrics are in the DT (by Trvor Crozier) and it's recorded by Iain Mackintosh but I don't know the tune. Please post MIDI if you do! Needed for session in Devon (+lots of scrumpy, no doubt!) this weekend!)

I've just knocked up a quick MIDI and put it at http://members.tripod.co.uk/jonbanjo/ddog.mid.

I love the song and it always seems to raise a few smiles.

Are you going to marry her? Or let all the little diskettes go hungry?

Tattie,
Bingo!.......Enjoy Devon, enjoy the Scrumpy, enjoy the song. I'll learn it up for the Sat night sess and give it a blast -- say 9.30? Hope to see you at Leadburn/Auchindinny 17/18/19 Nov, for the (2nd!)Scottish Mudcatters' meet. See new thread on dates for meets. Ain't learnt blickies yet.
You got the words for "Drink up tee cider"? I'll post them, if not.

Waps!!

Noj, many thanks - I'll sit down wi' me wee bit of manuscript paper later and do it the old-fashioned way.

Xam, I still have a very worn 45 of "Drink up thee coider" but it will save me slaving over a hot turntable if you post thee words! Hope to make it to the Scottish Mudcatters meeting, I'll bring some scrumpy back from Deb'n, if 'twill keep till then - depends how many dead dogs have been soused in it!

I may call a group Dead Dod Scrumpy if the Irish folk don't want it. Scrumpy? Do they eat scrumpy on Goudge Street? What are you people TALKING about? "T. Eliot, top bard, notes putrid tang emanating, is sad. I'd assign it a name: gnat-dirt upset on drab pot toilet." spelled backwards is the same. I'm gone. (Like the farmer and the 'tater, Plant you now, And dig you later.)

Mole - you don't eat scrumpy ( unless there's lots of doggie bits floating in it) Tis a very tasty alcoholic drink made out of coider apples, especially favoured in England's rural areas, e.g.Devon, Zummerzet,but you can't really call it Scrumpy unless it has had the odd dead rat, cat or dog floating in it to enhance the flavour. God, does he really not know what scrumpy is? He hasn't lived, or been too busy making molehills. Jon - had plenty of Scrumpy last weekend and the song went down great!!

Tattie Bogle, sounds like you had a good time - glad the scrumpy and the song went down well.

Mole, songs about scrumpy or cider are not confined to Engand and the Irish have at least one good song about the stuff. Check out Johnny Jump Up

Could someone explain to this bewildered YANKEE why they served the Scrumpy warm(eeeww)at Whistlebinkies?? I went back to Strongbow after that! Then I had to come back to Kansas and all we have is this watered-down stuff they call Woodpecker (no comment!)...I'm on the wrong contintent.

(still pouting, and although she might hear a bit of the Scot'Cat gathering on the mobile, the cider sure won't taste as good!)

Thyme2dream, what do you mean by warm - just not chilled or at room temperature? I am of the opinion that too many drinks are served too cold.

From: catspaw49

Don't worry Max......I mean, far be it from me to take a lame joke and keep hammering it until its so aggravating that people have an urge to kill........Certainly never do anything like that around here as its in very poor taste! So I will do my utmost to show proper decorum and courtesy to all parties on the thread and indeed to the forum at large, who through long past experience know that I never do anything so completely tacky.

Dod..Dod........................nuts...........

No Jon, this was downright warm...room temperature for sure, and since I was in one of the last pubs still open (with a live band still playin)@ 2am, room temp was more on the hot side! I think I am used to colder drinks at home here on the prairie tho... much hotter climate.

Spaw...could you give up the palindrome twistin' and settle for anagrams: DOD=ODD??

Thyme(who hopes she got her wordgame terminology right, hasn't been the same since my Ex-husband the etymologist moved out:(! )

This has been bugging me for days now. I had to get it off my chest.

TO the tune of "I'm Lookin' Over A Four-leaf Clover"

I'm feelin' grumpy
My pet dog Scrumpy
Was killed by the guy next door
One day he's playing and jumping around
Next day he's splattered all over the ground
I hope it was painless
When that stupid brainless
Shot Scrump' with a .44
I felt so grumpy
I buried Scrumpy
'Neath the roses at the house next door

Jon: thanks for Johnny Jump-Up : I've been to Youghal too:(pronounced Yawl for you Yankees!) Thyme2Dream: cider definitely tastes better at room temperature; chilling takes the taste away; blood heat allows the doggie/rattie/cattie bits to ferment and make it even better!

missing verse

Now the neighbours came from near and far,
the parson and the squire,
the blacksmith and the carpenter and daft old obediah,
now obediah was dancing and the parson played his fife
and the squire he filled 3 flagons up
for to take home to his wife.

(may not be precise, but Trevs lyrics tend to alter depending on location!)
