That must be why I've picked this Challenge! idea from Roger the skiffler this time . . . I can't help myself, I'd just love to see
Babe On The Block -- From Roger the skiffler (22-Jun-01) I offer this as a possible future challenge, scope for sentimental song: (BTW the pig was saved by the judge). -- Áine (now where did I put that Worchester Sauce???) |

You've heard of the Foot 'n Mouth Disaster,
Now Grunty was no common porker. ,
Grunty the pig had a website, ,
Now a fortnight before the cull order, ,
Farewell all our dear sows and piglets ,
Now the Lord Judge in Bristol's deciding, ,
Still British justice must triumph, ,
Actually I am looking forward to seeing Phoenix The Calf again,. Gareth |
02 Aug 01 - 04:44 PM (#519930) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 62 From: SharonA MMario, I have a sub-inferiority complex too; that's why I never ride in them. :^) Love your reference to Áine's BBQ! Amos: "I'll get down on pig's knuckle, I will do any thing: If you spare me I swear I shall learn how to sing." LOL! That's just... so beautiful... And Gareth, I'm chucklin' at "Many a man had to harden his heart, Before he could eat pork again"! |
02 Aug 01 - 05:34 PM (#519971) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 62 From: Amos Wow -- I am laughing all over!!! MM, the verse about Skiffler and Roger comes over like classic Barbadian patois!! I love it! I can hear the drums from here!! I love the notion of Grunty's website being aimed at New Zealand!! And Sharon's adroit way with Phonics Bubonic is too good for words!! You guys are stars, no mistake! A |
02 Aug 01 - 06:41 PM (#520015) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 62 From: LoopySanchez Ok gang, here's my blatant attempt at a trophy. 10 threads (referenced in parentheses), one song. It's pretty corny, but I hope it's enjoyable to all.
"Saving Grunty"
We Yanks aren't afraid of some foot-and-mouth
Maybe that guy who keeps all those ferrets (10)
Or perhaps Africa would make
Does it look like I'm lying?

02 Aug 01 - 06:51 PM (#520028) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 62 From: Gareth Amos, - Well he were/is a Maori pig. And in my best tradition -
Now Grunty was a pig,
Have you ever saw,
Give me time and a rerite of "William Kid" seems suitable. "Damn your styes ..." No copyright demanded if this stirs any other catters muse. BTW The tune "Gresford" is the Botany Bay Varient - not the National Union of Mineworkers funeral hymn. Gareth |
02 Aug 01 - 10:29 PM (#520135) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 62 From: Jack the Sailor From VH1, (Verile Hog One) Where are they now? That is the question we need to answer. In a decidely agrarian and English way. And what could be more English than a Peter Noone song with a corny, contrived introduction. Thus, with apologies to music lovers everwhere, I give you,
Hiding Hind the Compost (Leaning on the Lamp Post) {tinkly piano introduction word sung lightly almost recited as poetry}
Gary Coleman is guarding a mall {sung energetically with a thick, possibly fake english accent}
I'm hiding hind the compost in the corner of the sty
Oh, he's horrible, he's devious
Oh........
I'm not the kind of pig to be made pork
Oh, he's killing cows, he's killing sheep
I'm hiding hind the compost in the corner of the sty
I'm hiding hind the compost in the corner of the sty

02 Aug 01 - 11:44 PM (#520155) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 62 From: Jack the Sailor Here is a multipurpose masterpiece ****SSBG***** (Self Satisfied Big Grin) Here I have injected my usual consumer comentary, and a reference to my favourite Song Challenge mammal. I also have managed to insult hogs and hog farmers everywhere introduce potty humour and most importantly, If American musical icons do turn over in thier graves, Mr. Irving Berlin is now doing more rpms than the hard drive in my computer. Piggy at the Ritz
If you are a mess and want to confess to the best
Different types of feces has the civet
Dressed up with pine--apple he'd be super
Come let's mix where swine are roasted on sticks
Have you seen that famous hog? He is lucky as a dog
If you're mean and you do not like the clean scene
Foot and mouth contaminate the brown cows
Inspector said that grunty was contageous
Grunty is a Maori, Once more, people can't you see
Grunt !!!

03 Aug 01 - 11:32 AM (#520434) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 62 From: LoopySanchez Great song, Jack! Maybe we could attach a solenoid to Mr. Berlin and use his in-the-grave spinning to generate some energy for those folks in California! I never really thought about how many dirty words could rhyme with "Ritz", lol! Knew you'd come through as always. |

Wellington Sheep Farm
They said don't go to Wellington Sheep Farm
Her tender pig (her tender pig) brings lots of money
But Grunty's not an ordinary piggy
Her tender pig (her tender pig) brings lots of money
Now she's back home at Wellington Sheep Farm

You guys were cookin' with gas on this one, eh? ;-) If you haven't heard the good news (friggin' fantastic, actually...), the Mudcat Songbook, including of course, the Song Challenge! pages, will be moving 'home' to the Mudcat for real, as Max has agreed to host it on the Big 'Cat Server in the City!! Many, many, many thanks to Pene Azul (my dearest darlin' mudelf in the world, and fellow calzone maker...) for his help, advice, and well, just everythang . . . ;-) . . . in making the move possible. Pene has some really great ideas for making the Songbook even better (code-wise and design-wise) than it is now...so, if you see any vague references between your GG and the Pene talking about 'joint ventures', you'll know that they're as innocent as can be (yeah, GG, and we've got a bridge in Arizona to sell you...). So, if you have any questions, please let me know. But, don't worry my darlin' Challenge!rs, the Book can only get better from here! And to prove my point, here are your Golden Cow Chips and other well earned whatnots for your creative flow . . . Flow on, Challenge!rs, Flow on!!
