I have been asked to compile a list of “amusing tune titles for our local rag. They are interested in doing an amusing piece for St. Pat’s and my lovely Sister, who works in the Arts/Entertainment section, volunteered my input. I can’t think of a finer group of people to turn to for help, especially the Glee Club (who seem to be under attack Again, what’s up with that?).
Tunes would qualify, so long as the title is amusing, they do not have to pass muster with Dow’s Tune Cop/Garda thingee. I would only ask that the tune has been written, in other words, made up titles wouldn’t qualify. If you would like to interject a made up title, I simply ask that you please identify it as such. Empress Gemma is most likely writing the article and she likes using and collecting edged weaponry, you have been warned.
I’ll start with the obvious:
I Buried Me Wife…
The Nine Points of Roguery
Mistress on the Floor
Touching Cloth and Sitting on the Throne
Pull the Knife and Stick It In Again
Bang Your Frog On The Sofa
Jenny Bang The Weaver
Whiskey Before Breakfast
Tripping Up The Stairs
The Cat's Rambles to the Child's Saucepan
Granny Hold the Candle While I Shave the Chicken's Lip
The Banshee's Wail Over the Mangle Pit
Thank God We're Surrounded By Water
If We Hadn't Any Women in the World
Touch Me If You Dare
If We Hadn't Any Women in the World
I'm a Little Dutch Girl
The Chicken that Made the Soup
The Pigs Aitin' Nuts in the Woods
Doodley Doodley Dank
Heh, well it could end up with a whole array of euphemisms, a la the Choice Wife (The Boy in the Bush indeed)....
E.g.,
The Humours of Francophilia
The Chaise Lounge's Welcome to Herpetology
Nail the Amphibian to the Cushion
Tadpoles on the Divan
and my personal favorite:
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
You folks have got it all wrong.
Have you all forgotten that St Pat was WELSH ?
Try and think of a few tunes that might reflect the Welsh character.
PS ( This is one of the times I'm glad I'm a Channel-Islander. Nobody has any idea what our flaws are to poke fun at....)
I just remembered another. There is a Morris dance called "The Ladies Pleasure," not sure if it is up on this site, but I could put an ABC together if anyone so desires.
So, What’s on St. Pat’s iPod?

Re: So, What’s on St. Pat’s iPod?
"Bang your Frog on the sofa" takes on a whole new meaning after that faux pas.
Nobody mention French girlfriends.

Oops, I missed out "The Cow that Ate the Blanket," which is also known as "The Cat that Ate the Candle."

Just thought of Kerri's tune, The Drab Plateau.
Thanks for your input!

Will you should re-name it something like "Heavy-pet your au-pair on the settee"
