[00:00.00]90听音乐网 www.90T8.com  [00:02.30]I have held for some time to the effect that the reason most folk songs are [00:06.90]If professional song writers had written them instead [00:13.17]Things might have turned out considerably differently [00:15.06]For example [00:16.02]Consider the old favourite [00:17.67]With which I'm sure you are all familiar [00:18.54]Clementine [00:18.96]You know： [00:19.11]In a cavern [00:20.13]In a canyon [00:21.39]Da da daa [00:22.41]Da da da daa [00:23.94]A song with no recognisable merit whatsoever [00:27.51]And imagine what might have happened if [00:28.95]For example [00:29.97]Cole Porter had tried writing the song [00:32.25]The first verse might have come out like this： [00:42.66]In a cavern [00:46.23]In a canyon [00:50.19]Excava ha ha hating for a mine [00:55.47]Far away from the boom [00:57.36]Boom [00:57.84]Boom of the city [01:00.96]She was so pretty [01:02.31]What a pity [01:03.06]Clementine [01:06.72]O Clementine [01:09.15]Can't you tell from the howls of me [01:13.86]This love of mine [01:16.86]Calls to you from the bowels of me [01:21.57]Are you discerning the returning of this churning [01:26.31]Burning [01:27.57]Yearning for you [01:30.21]Ooh [01:32.70]Ooh [01:32.82]Aah [01:33.96]Aah [01:34.08]Well supposing at this point that Mozart or one of that crowd had tried writing a verse [01:41.49]The next one might have come out as a baritone aria from an Italian opera somewhat along these lines： [01:56.49]Era legera [01:58.35]E come un fairy [02:00.30]E suo shoes numero nine [02:03.87]Herring bo ho ho hoxes senza to ho ho hopses [02:08.94]Sandale per Clementina si [02:10.88]Per Clementina si [02:13.44]Per Clementina sandaleka [02:15.24]Clementina sandaleka [02:17.58]Clementine [02:18.75]Clementina [02:19.68]Clementina [02:22.80]Clementina [02:24.24]Herring boxes senza topses [02:26.13]Sandaleka Clementina [02:26.88]Herring boxes senza topses [02:28.65]Sandaleka Clementine [02:29.28]Che sciagura Clementina [02:30.45]Che sciagura Clementina [02:32.04]Cara Clementina cara Clementina na na na [02:37.50]Supposing at this rather dramatic juncture in the narrative one of our modern cool school of composers had tried writing a verse [02:46.32]The next one might have come out like this： [02:49.77]A one [02:49.95]A two [02:54.81]A three [02:56.10]Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo [02:56.58]Drove those ducklings to the water [02:58.71]Yep rock [02:59.31]Doodle a doo doo [03:00.33]Ah ah [03:01.29]Every morning like 9 am [03:03.18]Whoopa da doo da doo doo da [03:06.21]Got her hung upon a splinter [03:07.47]Got her hung upon a splinter [03:09.06]Doo da [03:10.23]Hoo hoo [03:11.16]Fell into the foamy brine [03:12.75]Dig that crazy Clementine [03:14.82]Man [03:18.42]To end on a happy note one can always count on Gilbert and Sullivan for a rousing finale full of words and music and signifying nothing [03:45.45]That I missed her depressed her [03:46.50]Young sister named Esther [03:47.55]This mister to pester she tried [03:49.35]Now a pestering sister's a festering blister [03:51.54]You'd best to resist her say I [03:53.49]The mister resisted [03:54.45]The sister persisted [03:55.41]I kissed her all loyalty slipped [03:57.15]When she said I could have her [03:58.32]Her sister's cadaver [03:59.28]Must surely have turned in its crypt [04:00.93]Yes [04:01.56]Yes [04:02.07]Yes [04:02.40]Yes [04:04.50]For I love she and she loves me [04:06.48]Enraptured are the both of we [04:08.46]Yes I love she and she loves I [04:11.34]And will through all eternity [04:15.90]See what I mean
