Great lyrics indeed. Hom doesn't need to look far to find a voice to match, methinks! Dylan |

Excellent song, but two points: * The words are all spelled correctly. When it's sung that won't matter, but it just ruins the effect when reading. * In the background of the original, they sing the words "Frere Jacque". You should pick something similar for this, especially if it's gonna be sung on the Raid-io. (And no, I'm not volunteering!) ---------------------------------------- Kargach of the Midnight Ocean Captain of the Champions of Valhalla, and occasionally good at forum contests |

1) I considered posting it as it might actually appear in a post. The question came down to being legible and truer to the original, or garbled and truer to the source of inspiration -- I chose legibility. Also, not all posters of this type of suggestion actually garble their post. 2) I also thought about this; aside from having no great ideas for the replacement, I wasn't sure how to convey it. I guess people who know the song would know where it goes. |

It's another forum that gets my goat... The Continuing Story of Parleying Phil Hey Parleying Phil, you're tarting on still, Parleying Phil? Hey Parleying Phil, you're tarting on still, Parleying Phil? We went out island-hunting with his ugly cant and gun And with a rage to vent he called the others scum, He's the unintelligent empty-headed klaxon-kissered one. All the children sing: Hey Parleying Phil, you're tarting on still, Parleying Phil? Hey Parleying Phil, you're tarting on still, Parleying Phil? Deep in the Parley where the old hate never dies, Phil and the tartypants were taken by surprise, One of their allied flags had called the others spies. All the children sing: Hey Parleying Phil, you're tarting on still, Parleying Phil? Hey Parleying Phil, you're tarting on still, Parleying Phil? The children asked him if to tart was not a sin, "Not when they started first," another butted in, "And don't you know to get the last word is to win?" All the children sing: Hey Parleying Phil, you're tarting on still, Parleying Phil? Hey Parleying Phil, you're tarting on still, Parleying Phil? Hey Parleying Phil, you're tarting on still, Parleying Phil? Hey Parleying Phil, you're tarting on still, Parleying Phil? (to fade) |
