New tune names

Post by patsky »

Coming late to C&F I may be opening a topic that has already been discussed. I am referring to tune name parodies. I am on the lookout for new ones.

Some that come to mind are:
the "Pains of Boils"
Seamus Ennis' "The Arse and Douche of Piping"
There is that old favorite "The Road to Piss and Vomit".

Newer ones are:

"My Darlings a sheep".
Johnny Dorn's "Hamburger Paddy".
"I kissed her in the Derry Air" ( Derriere)

Here in Manchester many tunes go by parody names.

Merely Quake The Wife’s Kisser
Jug of slugs
Horses Balls

I've written some tunes with hopefully amusing titles, the best of which is

The Hag Behind the Poll Tax.

In my neck of the woods, we refer to it as Planxty Powered Fannies.

With Ron and Sid and Meg.
Ron stole Meggie's heart away
And I got Sidney's leg.

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.
