Easily the funkiest number they played was "The monkey speaks > his mind" - awesomely fab... I urge you to find The Dirty Dozen Brass Band's recording of this song, and I hope you are one day fortunate enough to hear them do it live. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 08 Jul 2006 01:23:52 +0000 From: 2and2makes5@comcast.net Subject: Re: Go Fish!

I've finally tracked it down - it was the 1961 movie "What a whopper!". A fairly average British comedy of the time in the Ealing/Boulting/Carry On mould but notable for the sheer number of UK film stars involved, and for it being an early writing credit for Terry "Dalek" Nation.

I already have Dan Bern's "Fishing with Grandpa" >and Primus' "John the Fisherman." > >Any suggestions? Please keep in mind, these are songs about *fishing,* not >fish in general. Most of those I though of have already been named, but: "Fishing trawler", by Not Drowning, Waving? "Fisherman's Wharf", by Blodwyn Pig "Fisherman's daughter", by Daniel Lanois "Fisherwoman", by The Avengers "I like to fish" by The Clear Of course there's the old classic Bing Crosby/Louis Armstrong "Gone fishin'", too...

Please keep in mind, these are songs about *fishing,* not >>fish in general. Henry Kaiser did a pretty cool cover of "Fishin' Hole" (the Andy Griffith Show theme) on his album Those Who Know History Are Doomed To Repeat It. With the lyrics, even, but not much if any whistling. That's the only one that comes to mind that hasn't been mentioned already. da9ve ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 08 Jul 2006 05:50:17 +0000 From: "Michael Sweeney" Subject: Re: Issa fish? or issa fowl? It kinda looks more like she's doing recordings under the name "Issa" rather than having changed her name as such - considering that the site mentions her doing workshops as "Jane Siberry" (i.e., "Jane Siberry will conduct a workshop blah-blah-blah" rather than "Issa will conduct...") But I could be wrong. Issa no matter - - -- ...Jeff Norman Ah...the Chico reference got me laughing out loud. And I just need to obsessively add (as is my longtime Marx Bros. fan wont) that Leonard Marx's nom-de-stage-screen-radio-etc. was indeed pronounced "Chick-o" (as he was a philandering, chick-chasing Jew) and not "Cheek-o" (as he was not a Puerto Rican / Mexican) (not that there's anything wrong with being ANY of these things)... ...and, wait, now I'm confused -- Jane Siberry Mellencamp now wants to be known as Terrence Trent D'Yousef Islam? And to think that I just got used to Tiffany and Limahl having last names (if not sustainable careers). Next yer gonna tell me that ? (of the Mysterians fame) is neither named Mark nor is really a Question at all...sigh -- for the easier days of Ringo / Richie and David / Davy Jones / Bowie. ...Damn it, now I've befuddled myself yet again (although that probably IS the post-midnight bourbon this time...) Michael "Conundrummer" Sweeney n.p. just the voices in my head -- gotta get up and switch disks soon... ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 09 Jul 2006 13:13:38 -0400 From: wojbearpig Subject: Wireless Festival Pics - -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Wireless Festival Pics Date: Sun, 9 Jul 2006 16:35:49 +0100 (BST) From: Tulloch To: Vegetable Friends , Robyn Hitchcockclub Just stumbled across some pics of Robyn & the Minus 3 (including Morris) at the O2 Wireless Festival: http://www.murmurs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=100145 ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V15 #158 ********************************
