Silly songs et autres conneries

Je viens de me souvenir que j'ai oublié des chansons anglo-saxonnes dont le bon Doctor Demento rappelle le souvenir

"Der Fuehrer's Face" de Spike Jones and His City Slickers (chanson intellectuelle contre les théories nazies)
Napoleon XIV
"Shaving Cream", je pense chanté par Doctor Demento. La version d'origine était de Benny Bell et Paul Wynn.
"The Scotsman" de Bryan Bowers
"Three Little Fishies" chanté par les Muppets
"Pencil Neck Geek" de Johnny Legend (version country de Fred Blassie)
Une version bushienne de "Hello Mudduh, Hello Fadduh" d'Allan Sherman
"The Monster Mash" de Bobby Pickett & The Crypt-Kickers
"Gitarzan" de Ray Stevens
"The Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun" de Julie Brown
"The Ballad of Irving" de Franck Gallop
"Dead Puppies" d'Ogden Edsl
"Fish Heads" de Barnes & Barnes
"Time Warp" du Rocky Horror Picture Show, sur des images de Star Trek
"Masochism Tango" de Tom Lehrer
Du même Tom Lehrer, "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park"
"The Battle of Kookamonga" de Homer et Jethro (c'est une parodie de "The Battle of New Orleans" dont je mettrai les paroles en fin d'entrée.)
"King Tut" de Steve Martin & The Toot Uncommons
"Existential Blues" de Tom "T-Bone" Stankus (j'adore, mais si vous ne connaissez pas "Le Magicien d'Oz", vous allez manquer le meilleur.)
"The Purple People Eater" de Sheb Wooley
"The Witch Doctor", reprise de The Music of David Seville
"The Cockroach That Ate Cincinnati de Rose & The Arrangements



Et une bonne parodie de Dragnet, "St George and the Dragonet" de Stan Freberg
Ceci est une spéciale dédicace pour Vanessa, Eric, Vincent et la bande de Marie-Lucie "Dungeons and Dragons"
"Boot to the Head" des Frantics


Chose promise, chose dûe:

THE BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS de Johnny Horton
In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip.
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans.

[Chorus:]
We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin.
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin' on
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

We looked down the river and we see'd the British come.
And there must have been a hundred of'em beatin' on the drum.
They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring.
We stood by our cotton bales and didn't say a thing.

[Chorus]

Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em in the eye
We held our fire 'til we see'd their faces well.
Then we opened up with squirrel guns and really gave 'em ... well

[Chorus]

Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.**

We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down.
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round.
We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind.

[Chorus]

Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
