one song to the tune of another -
explained
g
game reserve
analogy A song is very much like an African big game reserve, the sun kissed
grass savannah plains represent the tune which provide grazing for the words,
or animals. These may be herds of Gazelle, but occasionally they move on to be
replaced by Wildebeest for example. Or put another way, one song is sung to the
tune of another. Now I can guess what every one is thinking, what about
Elephants? And indeed they are a worry as unscrupulous hunters poach them for
their tusks. Who could possibly commit criminal butchery over a few pieces of
ivory? At the piano Colin Sell.
garden lawn
analogy A song is very much like a garden lawn - the words are
represented by the blades of grass, which are supported by the soil, or tune.
However, over time, a lawn may become worn out, so the keen gardener may care
to re-turf the lawn with new grass, or in our terms put different words to the
old tune. Now I know what you are thinking - what happens to the redundant
turf that has been stripped off? Well that is a good point, because you do
inevitably end up with some useless sod. At the piano
Colin Sell.
grand prix
analogy We take a selection of songs and switch the words around between
them - it might be help to think of the songs as Grand Prix racing cars
and their drivers; all the drivers could easily get out and swap cars in any
combination and it wouldn’t matter which car with which driver. You would
still have the unrivalled spectacle of grown men dressed in romper suits
driving mobile fag packets round in circles for two hours.
But what
about Murray Walker? Surely this would not be complete without a constant
stream of mistakes made by some incompetent banging on incomprehensibly in the
background. At the piano is Colin
Sell.
