If you watch an Atlanta Braves baseball game, you'll hear that one soon
enough.  Putting both tunes together, I notice that they share some
notes.  For those who know both tunes, hum them in the same key to yourself
and you'll see what I mean.  I just noticed it.

I cannot verify that this is the exact source, but I know of two songs that
end this way, "On Moonlight Bay", but I would venture that the cartoon
favorite "How Dry I Am" may play a part in it.  I have almost never heard
anyone sing a sober version of that one and it could be possible that
playing a well-known ending of a song about how drunk one is could play a
part in this.

Still trying to find the nerve that starts audience applause when
performers go into a can-can kick during a song (think last chorus of "Come
To the Cabaret"),

Oh, that's "Who Put the Bomp" by Barry Mann.

Just kidding.

For other stereotypical music, how about the music that shows up when the
villain with the handlebar moustache shows up?

You could ask that question of Ms. Fondle, because she would be more than
happy to tell you that Scott Walker does a great version of this Jacques
Brel song.  The song is "Jackie"

And if one day I should become
A singer with a Spanish bum
Who sings for women of great virtue
I'd sing to them with a guitar
I borrowed from coffee bar
Well, what you don't know doesn't hurt you
My name would be Antonio
And all my bridges I would burn
And if I gave them some they'd know
I expect something in return
I'd have to get drunk every night
To talk about vi rility
With some old grandmother who might
Be decked out like a Christmas tree
And tho' pink elephants I'd see
I'd sing the song they sang to me
About the time they called me Jackie
If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour every day
If I could be for just one little hour
Cute, cute, cute in a stupid-ass way
And if I joined the social whirl
Became procurer of young girls
Then I would have my own bordellos
My record would be number one
And I'd sell records by the ton
All sung by many other fellows
My name would then be handsome Jack
And I'd sell boats of opium
Whiskey that came from Twickenham
Authentic queers and phony virgins
I'd have a bank on every finger
A finger in every country
And every country ruled by me
I still know where I'd want to be
Locked up inside my opium den
Surrounded by some Chinamen
I'd sing the song that I sang then
About the time they called me Jackie
If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour every day
If I could be for just one little hour
Cute, cute, cute in a stupid-ass way
Now tell me wouldn't it be nice
That if one day in Paradise
I sang for all the ladies up there
And they would sing along with me
We'd be so happy there to be
'Cause down below is really nowhere
My name would then be Jupiter
And I would know where I was going
And then I would become all knowing
With my beard so long and flowing
If I became deaf dumb and blind
Because I pitied all mankind
And broke my heart to make things right
I know that every single night
when my angelic work was through
The angels and the devil too
Would sing my childhood song to me
About the time they called me Jackie
If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour every day
If I could be for just one little hour
Cute, cute, cute in a stupid-ass way

Is this the classic ragtime riff?  It is actually the intro lines for =
the
"12th. Street Rag", if it is what I'm thinking of.

The song, of course, is autobiographical for Brel.

Sadly enough, there is no Tiki Room gift shop.  The space that would
contain such a store is presently occupied by Indiana Jones and Jungle
Cruise paraphernalia.  Close, but no cigar.  And no Tiki Room 45s,
cassettes, or CDs, either.  In fact, finding Tiki Room merchandise anywhere
in the park is rather impossible.

Luckily Disneyland continues to play the original show audio, whereas the
one at Disney World plays what is by all reports a ruined 'modernized' show
which I have yet to see.

Thanks so much, Brian, for posting the lyrics. I can't sing to save my life,
but if I were ever magically granted the ability to flawlessly sing one
song, it would be that, ala Scott Walker. That and Nancy Sinatra's vocal
part on "Somethin' Stupid." And "Reasons" by Earth, Wind and Fire.

Oh, and "My One and Only Love" a la Johnny Hartman.

Babbling now,
Ben

"How Dry I Am" sounds vaguely familiar, but I can't quite place it. Looked
it up on Google and found a shot glass with "How Dry I Am" written on it.
Oh, and a "music box decanter" which plays "How Dry I Am" when you pick it
up to pour.

I know nothing about notes, but I was going to post that, onomatopoeically,
this actually kind of works:

Subject: (exotica) "Oriental" and 'Indian' Chants

> >  the nine-note oriental theme in question...

I would recommend the CD 'Chop Suey Rock - Songs About the Orient Vol 1' on the
'Hot and Sour' label if you want to hear various interpretations of this
Oriental Theme.  14 songs from mostly 60's garage-type bands, with one of the
artists being Ken Nordine performing 'Hot Saki'

Roughly half the songs on this CD start out with the nine note oriental theme -
or slight variations of this theme.   It's quite amazing how all these various
bands, to put the listener in an oriental mindset,  incorporate that 9 note
theme.

There is also a Volume 2, but I don't own that one yet.  Wayno did the cover
art for Volume 1.

As for the Indian theme .... is this theme identical to the controversial
'Tomahawk Chop' song that the Atlanta Braves and Florida Seminoles use during
their games -- the song that is chanted as the crowd move their forearms
upright and forward in a 'first down' type motion?

I noticed after doing a search at CDNow for 'tomahawk' that a selection called
'Brandishing the Tomahawk' appears on various Native American Chant
compilations.  Perhaps the 'Tomahawk Chop' is derived from this 'Brandishing
the Tomahawk' chant?

So, okay.  The LP I got from this guy is on Coronet.  No mention of =
Billy May or anyone.  It's basically the GH theme, then a bunch of surfy =
tunes, with guitar and/or organ, occasionally pretty sloppily played.

Is this the one that everyone is looking for?
Should I tell him he as a treasure?
Should I just keep it?  (heheheheh)

Oh, yeah.  This was also my first album cleaned with my fancy rotating Nitty
Gritty!
I was very excited to see the puppy go go go, but the rekkid still had
surface noise on it when I brought it down to the computer.  Is this just
the nature of Coronet/Premier albums and cheap vinyl and lousy recording?

It also left a few fingerprints.

Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong.

Okay.... the Braves thing can be found at

What I'm talking about is pretty close to this, but usually a bit faster
tempo, and instrumental, rather than people chanting.

Hope this helps.  :)

No, the one to get - IF you can get it (got deep pockets?) is the original
soundtrack on 20th Century Fox.  Books very, high.

It came out as a pricey CD reissue not too long ago.  I can't see anyone into
the sounds of TV and movies from that period doing without it.

There's a new comedian who sits at a piano and plays mostly "background
music" as part of his act.  I think he's pretty funny.  His material is
somewhat reminiscent of Steven Wright.  I mention this because he says "I
have an Oriental roommate.  Whenever she comes in the room I play this"...
And then he plays that motif.
Then he says "Some people wonder why I do that.  And I tell them 'Because I
don't have a gong'"
I thought it was funny.

Um, wasn't it the same guy who wrote that really popular rock ballad?  You
know... the one with the words "Oooh Ooooh!  Love you forever, baby!  Keep
on rockin' through the night!"  ?

heehee.

I can't really describe the "Injun Attack" theme, other than to say you'd
know it if you heard it.  I think Brian was probably right when he said
watch an Atlanta Braves game.  Strangely, I should've thought of that, since
I live in Atlanta.  But then again, I really don't like the Braves.

I was wondering about that one too. I have another lp by Roger and
Nardini. It's called Merry and Sad and it's on the Creasound label. Is
Gags a Go Go on the same label.

For those interested (Johan!): I recenlty compiled a CD-R with 22 tracks
by Roger Roger, culled from a couple of albums and singles. It's a mixture
of his work for Production Music Libraries and his more "normal' work.

Tardy as usual, but I wanted to thank whoever (Kevin Leeee?)
sent the

the MP3
files.  Really enjoyed it.

Loved the moog-drenched "Up Up and Away", and also what I guess
are
original songs, "Velvet Star," "Venus Mysterious," "Party on
Saturn,"
and "Pulsar Cruiser."

Good stuff all around; hope you'll post new stuff and remixes
from time

The lyrics of the bit I know are (the notes are above the tune):
     D       G  A B
"How dry I am,
How dry I am.
B -  C  - B   A
No-bo-dy knows,
G         B   A G
How dry I am."

The phrase we are discussing usually comes in when you repeat the last line.

Take THAT Jacques Brel!

This has happened to me too with this LP..hard to find a decent copy.
I guess folks who bought this kind of stuff were not that careful. I picked up a really scratched one the first time just to satisfy my curiosity.  What do you think of this album?
