    Pigs singing the Happy Wanderer

    Have you checked out the points I made earlier Caroline about the first pig peering down the mountain and looking perturbed and the last pigs emphasis upon the lyrics O may I always laugh and sing ? I think he adds a heh-heh after for emphasis. If you haven't yet you might want to look at it...

    Pigs singing the Happy Wanderer

    I can actually imagine that first pig turning in his grave and moaning "What! I thought you were my buddies and when I'm killed your response is to sing cheerily together? You traitors." Then he thinks about what happened to him and sniggers "But you wouldn't feel quite so sing-songy if you...

    Will it EVER end????

    :sympathy: Sorry I've only just noticed this thread Kathy. Of course I have been away. I hope things get smoothed over. If she keeps on being unfeeling toward you maybe she never was your true friend at all:( But I pray you get over this trouble and are led by God to what you should do to...

    Pigs singing the Happy Wanderer

    Thanks Caroline and William. I was recently thinking about how it's such a great sketch and while such tragedy could happen in real life it's really exaggerated in the way the pigs behave after the first one goes splat. After all it could happen in real life that a trio of mountain climbers...

    TMS outline- Gwen Verdon!

    Yeah you tell him Brian.:rolleyes: :attitude: As for your outline, it's very good. It could be fleshed out a little here and there, but the basis is very well thought-out:D

    Pigs singing the Happy Wanderer

    Yes Caroline. Your memory does serve you well. I especially love how he's singing the final line. "Beneath the clear blue..." and then when the boulders appear he turns his head aside as he sees them coming a split second before they hit him and he screams out the last word of the song...

    The Three Detectives created by Martin Johnson

    CHAPTER 10 The Three Detectives were starting to worry whether they had played a bad gamble seeking help from Muppet Labs. There were only two days to go and still Bunsen hadn't successfully come up with anything. And his poor assistant Beaker had all kinds of bumps and bruises to prove it...

    Miss Piggy's Last Name

    I think she may have been briefly referred to as Piggy Lee, a spoof on well-known celebrity Peggy Lee's name, on one episode at least.

    I've Got a Problem

    Is he causing the family budget any harm with his lottery habit Snowthy? If he is, then he should be talked to in order to gently point out the hurt he's causing his own family. If he won't listen then you'll have to talk to your church pastor for advice.

    Pigs singing the Happy Wanderer

    I know this sketch is sometimes called fal-de-ri fal-de-ra, even though the song is called the Happy Wanderer and the chorus is actually val-de-ri val-de-ra. But looking at the chorus in the original German lyrics the derivation must come from the first german chorus. Hmm. It'd be interesting to...
