20 Apr 01 - 09:12 AM (#445260) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: lyric request From: Gary T Sorry I'm not familiar with the song. The topmost thread here, "Mudcat FAQ - Newcomer's Guide," may help you find it if it's in the database/archives here. Another avenue to explore is the search engine Google, www.google.com. |

22 Apr 01 - 11:50 AM (#446614) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dahn the Plug Hole From: Mrs.Duck Just a query but why is it listed as 'Dahn the plug 'ole' and not Down the plug hole. I am aware that as many of the music hall songs were made famous in London there may have been a tendency to pronounce the words that way but that would also be true of many other words in the song eg. gone would have been sung gorn. Why not just leave the words written correctly and allow the singer to pronounce them as he/she would normally rather than imposing a false accent. Might make searching easier too!:) |

22 Apr 01 - 04:18 PM (#446781) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dahn the Plug Hole From: GUEST,JTT It's a funny song from music hall, and it was written that way for fun. Ah, memories, memories - I remember hearing Cream in the Roundhouse in London some time in the middle of the last century and Eric Clapton performed Dahn the Glugole, accompanying himself plangently on the ukelele, which he then smashed up Who-style, and tried to set on fire with Swan Vesta matches. |

Garry PS. Can you play a ukelele plangently? :) Oh, and there was an earlier thread about this song, I think. |
