Lies, by Stan Rogers

Recorded on Northwest Passage and Home in Halifax

"So this is Beauty's finish! Like Rodin's 'Belle Heauimiere.'"

Interesting side note... The liner notes in HiH confirm your spelling, but the notes for NP spell it "Heaulmiere" with an "L". www.rodin-web.org also agrees with the "L" spelling.

And giddysinger jumps into the lead with 3 points. :-)

I noticed the spelling discrepancy too (via Google, not NP), but took it from the liner notes I have. I figured the author gets to be definitive for what he meant, but didn't realize he was himself inconsistent.

Yeti: nope.

Lies: correct, but giddysinger beat you by 9 minutes. If it had been closer to simultaneous I'd give you the points too.

K-Mart: ok, 4 points because I've never heard of that song. (I can see from another comment that I'm going to have trouble with that one...)

Grey Funnel Line, by Cyril Tawney

"Don't mind the rain or the rolling sea,
A weary night never worries me."

Many people have recorded this song, but my favorite is a version that is nothing like Cyril's version. Here's Tinsmith's take on the song:

Not the song I had in mind, so 4 points to you.

I'm sorry.

I am SO sorry.

I have to, and I really wish I didn't:

Baby Got Back, by Sir Mix-a-Lot.

Among many references to that word in the song:

"You can do side bends or sit-ups,
But please don't lose that butt"

Re: Butt cellio February 5 2009, 03:16:33 UTC

Wow. I have heard of neither the song nor the performer.

I have you at 11 points now.

Re: Butt giddysinger February 5 2009, 03:25:30 UTC

You've... You've really never heard of that song? Oh my goodness.

I have no idea whether you should be proud or ashamed of that fact. Definitely one or the other, though. Not both.

Re: Butt cellio February 5 2009, 03:36:28 UTC

Yes, really.

What genre is it? Please tell me it's not a children's song. :-)

K-Mart by Uncle Bonsai tc_tick February 5 2009, 03:06:41 UTC

"From coast to coast we like to boast there's a K-Mart close at hand" From Myn ynd Wymyn (All vowels replaced by 'y's)

Re: K-Mart by Uncle Bonsai cellio February 5 2009, 03:18:08 UTC

Who knew that K-Mart was so musically common? Never heard of that one, so 4 points for you.

Re: K-Mart by Uncle Bonsai tc_tick February 5 2009, 04:13:35 UTC

Doesn't count, I looked it up "K-Mart" is the title...

Re: K-Mart by Uncle Bonsai cellio February 5 2009, 04:25:00 UTC

Oh, whoops. I thought you were saying that the title was Myn ynd Wymyn; I presume that's the album?
