2018, Term 2, Week 7: New Zealand Children's Music Part 2

Paul Hindemtih (1895 - 1963) was a German composer, violinist and conductor.

Here's an example of the above quote, from Fawlty Towers,  a British comedy from the 1970s.  Can you work out which character thinks Brahms Third Symphony is meaningless noise?

A Fatcat and Fishface favourite of ours from a few years ago - Tip of My Tongue                         
Tip of My Tongue 
Are you able to play tennis on a turning tennis table?
Will your mother mollycoddle Mrs Morse’s daughter Mabel?
Can you lick a lolly scramble like a lizard at a lake?
Can you carry half a carton full of crunchy carrot cake? 

Did your sister get a blister from assisting Mr Morse?
Or was it helping Harry hit a home run? Yes of course
Can you stick a naked bunny in a cranny or a nook?
Can you bring a bacon buttie and a bottle and a book?

Chorus: It’s on the tip of my tongue

How do horses hear a hoodlum when they’re hurtling hell for
leather?
Why do weasels whistle wetly in the wild and windy weather?
Did your father find a feather for the funky fashion show?
Or did he force young Norman Morse to tell him where to go?

Can you count the clucking chickens as they cackle in the
clover
After Mrs Morse’s Morris Minor nearly ran them over?
Did you drink a drip of danger juice and drain the bottom drop?
Can you eat the ears of elephants and never want to stop?

Chorus: It’s on the tip of my tongue

Can someone tell the Morses that their dog is here for dinner
That their cat has lost its confidence, their guinea pig is
thinner?
The Morses are our neighbours Mr, Mrs, Norman, Mabel
And all of them play tennis on a turning tennis table

Chorus: It’s on the tip of my tongue

And a new tongue twister nonsense song by Fleabite (same singer as in Fatcat and Fishface) called Liver Lover:

 "Liver Lover" lyrics

1.Chicken liver, duck liver, cock-a-doodle cluck liver
Lamb liver, cow liver, give it to me now liver
Shark liver, goat liver, stick it up your coat liver
Turkey liver, pig liver, juicy and so big liver

Camel liver, bear liver, breadcrumbs everywhere liver
Frog liver, toad liver, cycling up the road liver
Kiwi liver, bat liver, we’ll have none of that liver
Monkey liver, gnu liver, crested cockatoo liver

Liver, liver lover, liver
Don’t be angry, just forgive her
You can’t live without your liver

2. Cat liver, rat liver, rabbit from your hat liver
Beaver liver, mouse liver, running round your house liver
Cod liver, eel liver, it’s not a big deal liver
Sparrow liver, mole liver, halfway down a hole liver

Dog liver, snake liver, sorry my mistake liver
Worm liver, slug liver, chug-a-lug-a-lug liver
Moose liver, crab liver, cooked in a kebab liver
Less liver, more liver, even dinosaur liver

Liver, liver lover, liver
Cry your tears into the river
You can’t live without your liver

3.Horse liver, ass liver, hiding in the grass liver
Lizard liver, snail liver, reading all my mail liver
Tiger liver, hen liver, please say that again liver
Wolf liver, fox liver, think outside the box liver

Eagle liver, goose liver, hanging from a noose liver
Mammoth liver, quail liver, banging in a nail liver
Mongoose liver, weevil liver, is it good or evil liver
Hippo liver, otter liver, I’ve not got a lot of liver

Liver, liver lover, liver
Be you fat or be you thinner
You can’t live without your liver

Oh
Monkey liver, bee liver, swinging through the trees liver
Penguin liver, croc liver, tick tick tock liver
Zebra liver, possum liver, sitting on your bottom liver
Bison liver, shag liver, don’t be such a nag liver

Spider liver, crow liver, long long way to go liver
Hedgehog liver, whale liver, wave your furry tail liver
Lion liver, deer liver, had it up to here liver
Tui liver, trout liver, shake it all about liver

Liver, liver lover, liver
Kangaroo or caterpillar
You can’t live without your liver
