I enjoyed that too, but a little more of Welsh accent and cadence would have pleased me more. Still a bloody good tale though. Made me laugh, boy.
Canât say I share the sentiment, but your video reminded me of these two British gentlemen â Flanders and Swann from long ago. Singing not about Spring and pigeons, but the Ostrich and the Gnu! The one about the ostrich seems pertinent to us today, and unfortunately isnât amusing!
This oneâs amusing, and lightens the mood!
Richard Burton would have been perfect but is no longer available. I couldnât afford Michael Sheen so this was the best I could do at the time.
Not a criticism, more a comment from one who loves the Welsh and their speech. But I really enjoyed the content. ![]()

Heaven only knows why this popped into my head - not thought of it in years. It will, of course, now become an earworm. Listen at your peril!
No way!
Iâm currently suffering from several days of The Streets of Laredo, which I donât think Iâve actually heard for over half a century.
A strange phenomenon - I found myself singing âPraise my soul the King of Heavenâ the other day. Heaven knows why! I was a choirboy and many of these hymns are ingrained in my brain but why that one?

Vivaldi and Andreas Scholl, magical in the evening to help you fall asleep !
Weird Dylan playlist from todayâs NY Times, beginning with:-
Magokoro Brothers. Youâve never truly heard âMy Back Pagesâ until youâve heard it in Japanese.
Consider todayâs playlist the soundtrack to My Bob Dylan Summer â or perhaps my own personal episode of Theme Time Radio Hour. It features some of the aforementioned âMasked and Anonymousâ covers, a few of the tracks he played at Forest Hills (along with some thoughts about that show), and other assorted oddities, like a Dylan song that I recently added to my karaoke repertoire. If you make it all the way to the Bonus Tracks, youâll also learn why there is only one degree of separation between Bob Dylan and Tinashe, the pop star responsible for the slinky 2024 viral hit âNasty.âSpotify â Web Player
Warning - ear worm from the 70s. ![]()
Doing Squaredle from yesterday (easier the following morning) one of these words came up (only a bonus).
Havenât got rid of the last earworm that you posted (Paul Simon) so Iâll leave this one ![]()
I wonder just how many songs we have in our heads after a lifetime?
There must be thousands - but thereâ s one song that gets on my nerves and my local radio station (Alouette) plays it quite often. Itâs called Whatâs Up by 4 Non Blondes. It just grates and I absolutely HATE it! ![]()
When I do my regular swim, to relieve the boredom I sing in my head. I try a whole album and also the Beatlesâ number one hits. The albums never last very long. I think you are right about âthousandsâ.
I think Queen âDonât Stop Me Nowâ would be my choice. Itâs always been a favourite of mine but I have some wonderful memories of going to a Christmas Dance just after Iâd had an achilles tendon operation and was wearing one of these
I sat out most of the dancing but had to get up and have a jig to DSMN - boot and walking stick included. It was a miracle I didnât fall over but to this day, I remember the evening with the fondest of memories ![]()
When I was doing my 33 trips to Poitiers, the VSL drivers were invariably on Alouettes and there is a number of songs that Iâd be quite happy to never hear again.
