Ivan Stravinsky Stravar
Lindsay Endell
I useter hear that on the rajo now and again, when I were a lass.
There was Ivan, and there was another bloke whose name is lost just
now.
Anyone of you lot able to enlighten me as to what on earth it was
about?
Oh, and the Court of King Caractacus - that was recorded by Rolf
Harris, another old song that keeps popping up in my head.

Stood in line at Teskoids tonight. Chap behind me was whistling a completely
noteless dirge. Finally, having had enugh, I turned and asked: "Is that a
tune?" "Yes," he replied. "Well, where are the notes then?"
Then I appologised. Turns out it was "The Fool On THe Hill". Can't get it
out of me noddle now, either.

"Abdul Abulbul Amir"
The sons of the Prophet are brave men and bold
and quite unaccustomed to fear,
But the bravest by far in the ranks of the shah,
Was Abdul Abulbul Amir.
If you wanted a man to encourage the van,
Or harass the foe from the rear,
Storm fort or redoubt, you had only to shout
for Abdul Abulbul Amir.
Now the heroes were plenty and well known to fame
in the troops that were led by the Czar,
And the bravest of these was a man by the name
of Ivan Skavinsky Skavar.
One day this bold Russian, he shouldered his gun
and donned his most truculent sneer,
Downtown he did go where he trod on the toe
of Abdul Abulbul Amir.
"Young man," quote Abdul,"has life grown so dull
That you wish to end your career?
Vile infidel know, you have trod on the toe
Of Abdul Abulbul Amir.
So take your last look at the sunshine and brook
And send your regrets to the Czar
For by this I imply, you are going to die,
Count Ivan Skavinsky Skavar."
Then this bold Mameluke drew his trusty skibouk,
Singing, "Allah! Il Allah! Al-lah!"
And with murderous intent he ferociously went
for Ivan Skavinsky Skavar.
They parried and thrust, they side-stepped and cussed,
Of blood they spilled a great part;
The philologist blokes, who seldom crack jokes,
Say that hash was first made on the spot.
They fought all that night neath the pale yellow moon;
The din, it was heard from afar,
And huge multitudes came, so great was the fame,
of Abdul and Ivan Skavar.
As Abdul's long knife was extracting the life,
In fact he was shouting, "Huzzah!"
He felt himself struck by that wily Calmuck,
Count Ivan Skavinsky Skavar.
The Sultan drove by in his red-breasted fly,
Expecting the victor to cheer,
But he only drew nigh to hear the last sigh,
Of Abdul Abulbul Amir.
There's a tomb rises up where the Blue Danube rolls,
And graved there in characters clear,
Is, "Stranger, when passing, oh pray for the soul
Of Abdul Abulbul Amir."
A splash in the Black Sea one dark moonless night
Caused ripples to spread wide and far,
It was made by a sack fitting close to the back,
of Ivan Skavinsky Skavar.
A Muscovite maiden her lone vigil keeps,
Neath the light of the cold northern star,
And the name that she murmurs in vain as she weeps,
is Ivan Skavinsky Skavar.

Have you ever tried walking round Teskoloids whistling the Russian
National Anthem. Gets some funny looks even now, but a few years ago
it was remarkable. My old obff and I usedter do it for fun.

I am whistler's mother. Always whistle and never know I am doing it.
When in Uncivil Service (part-time) breezed into PSV/RSL one day and found
big jam-pot of groundsel on me desk.
Discovered the minute I went to the stacks to find files they would take
bets on whether I broke into classical or jazz.

If you thimk that's bad, you should have been at the concert we went to
on Monday night. The St Petersburg String Quartet - brilliant playing,
particularly the first violin, I've never seen such bowing technique. Or
heard any quartet playing so tightly and expressively together. But
they've got one of those cellists who grunts and groans all the way
through every piece. Bloody good player, but I wish he'd learn to sing
in tune.

Thanks Brian, I've been looking all over for the book I've got that in.
I fear it's gone walkies, which would be rather a shame - it's got lots
of Robert Service stuff in it, stuff like The Face On The Bar-Room Floor
and The Shooting Of Dan McGrew. I suspect your version is rather later
than the one I know, 'cos I don't recall anything about philologists and
hash and stuff.

S'OK, I'll tell you anyway. :-)
MP3 is a way of squashing the bits of sound off of a CD so they only
take up about a tenth of the space, and you can store them on (and play
them back from) your pooter. Assuming you've got a laaaaaarrrge disc in
it that is...
You can also do the same with vinyl type records, which saves you having
to turn them over every 20mins, but you need more bits attached to each
other with baler twine and stuff before you can make it jbex.
Is a bit like making cassette copies of your (and only your of course.
Wouldn't want to deprive the starving record company execs of their next
bowl of caviar by copying other peoples) records, but with pooters.

I've had to play with a pianist like that. Very off-putting, the way
he drones on while playing.
Anyway, this seems like a good a thread as any to publicise a bit of
kulchewer wot's going to be happening...
Concert on Saturday night @ Leeds Town Hall, being recorded by the
BBC. Leeds Festival Chorus & BBC Philharmonic (among others) are
premiering a nice shiny new piece by Dominic Muldowney called "The
Fall of Jerusalem" (cheerful stuff...) And by way of light relief
afterwards, we'll be doing a rousing rendition of Mozart's Requiem...
http://www.leeds.gov.uk/tourinfo/events/lics/lics_fr.html
And if you can't make the concert, apparently it's going to be
broadcast on the wireless on Monday evening (Radio 3, of course)
(check your copy of the Radio Times for further information).

If I'd known you were doing the requiem, I'd've thought twice about
the shedmoot. One of my favouritest pieces of music, that.
I'll haveter listen to Rajo 3 on Monday at 7.30pm, innit.

Coo, that's dedication.
Mine dew, I have bin to a concert in Ocksfud, but never again, now I
only do long distance concerts if there's a handy train service - which
means Lunnon [1] in most cases. Snape/Ely/Cambridge is about my limit
if drivin' is involved.

Regularly (more'n twice a year) go to concerts in Reading (University
Great Hall) / Oxford (can't remember) / London (St John's, Smith
Square) (but only 'cos I'd get into trouble with SWetc if I didn't!)
Didn't manage to get down to my bruvver's latest gig at the South
Bank... Shame, really, but it was a mid-week thing, and I had to jbex.
Apparently, he got rave reviews in the Indescribablyboring & Grauniad.

Lane End. Had its 4˝ millifortnights of fame about a hectofortnight
ago, on that WWP prog wiv Julian Clary where he acted the part of a
juj, an peopl hadter vote on which of two peeps woz in the right about
saummat or other. Two wimmin had a nargument about how one always
bought the wrong sort of sandwiches, IIRC. If that isn't crucial stuff
then I don't know what isn't.

When I useter sing G&S at York I always sang tenner. Lessee. We had
Hugh, who invariably got the lead tenor role, Bernice, Jessa and me.
All the chaps seemed ter be bass. I'm sure there /is/ an alto line to
the songs I member but I never singed it.

> IRTA Isaac Hayes an thought of Shaft:
If you all get Comedy Central (WWP cable netjbex), Isaac Hayes is the voice of
"Chef" on South Park. A very funny show, albeit thoroughly tasteless. Sort of
what would have happened had Charlie Brown and his friends been "trailer trash."
If you don't get Comedy Central, there is the movie "South Park: Bigger, Longer,
and Uncut." Touching musical film featuring such tender ballads as "Fuhg Lbhe
Shpxva' Snpr, Hapyrshpxre." Completely tasteless, but also includes a few love
scenes between Satan and Saddam Hussein.

Yeah, but a week ago I couldn't erzrzore that much. And the names and
