How sad that the absence of a classical education means that appropriate terminology is seen as gobbledygook by the sans culottes

There's a flibble and a wibble
And a gibble (quite a few)
There are pibble and a snibble
and a phibble (found in dew)
but the Kibble and the Ribble are for real
(i'm sure you knew)
when you look like a duke
and have fallen in the glew

Tune wanted.
shagbark Posted Nov 30, 2001
I like the idea of using the tune to "Modern Major General".
I'll second that nomination for song of the month. It's better than my song

There's a flibble and a wibble
And a gibble (quite a few)
There are pibble and a snibble
and a phibble (found in dew)
but the Kibble and the Ribble are for real
(i'm sure you knew)

Rat, who can't remember his way round this bloody thing. Posted Dec 2, 2001
still though, I nominate it anyway
Tune wanted.
tom Posted Dec 2, 2001
C'n I second that nomination?
The quality of the reworking cerainly has more Boom than I gave it (one more actually ) and has a greater understanding of the angst, anguish and pain of the truly towelopaenic

Having a problem here guys
I can't get the lyrics to scan with the modern major general
"A Policeman's lot is not a happy one" now has much more promise particularly with the reworked "Boom Boom Boom"
Cummmmm oO...On youse guys
WeeEEr tryun ta be creaaytuv heeyur

shagbark Posted Dec 3, 2001
Actually I'm not using Modern Major General. I just accent every third sylable. Except for the booms of course they each get an accent. I can't remember where I got this tune (probably in a commercial somewhere) it scans well for me.
