O/T Did anyone sing the "Calypso Carol" at school?

Yeah we did.

Well done though because you remembered more than I can!!

Ok, I am officially a dumbass, it's taken me until this moment in my life to realise why it was called the "CALYPSO" carol....and I described it as Motown ??

?

Yes but i'm guessing that's no big surprise to you. i remember singing it more at primary than nwsg though.

the prince of glory was his name.

Didn't it then go:

"oh now carry me to Bethlehem

to see the Lord/appear to men

Just as poor as was the stable then

The prince of glory when he came"

Bookgirl - yes, yes, thank you, it's been driving me mad!

Blue, I don't remember singing it at NWSG, only primary, reading it from an OHP! We all thought that our teacher had written it ?

Well if your teacher wrote it it was very successful!!

We sang a few songs that I thought my teacher wrote but I'm not sure now.

There was one about a mole in a hole. Anyone know it?

Doesn't ring any bells Ash, care to elaborate?

I want to be a mole in a hole, singing sweet and low

I wanna be a star, with my name up in lights

My feet are smelly, my hairs a mess

my teeth are yellow, and I've got bad breath

I may look great, but I feel like death

But I'm a living star

Or something like that. It's actually really shocking but we loved it when we were 7!!

Clearly you won't appreciate it's greatness because you don't know the proper tune!! ?

Kt, i am now singing the calypso carol over and over in my head....

arghhhhhhhhhhhh

?"oh now carry me....."?

?? Wtf is that all about? That has really made me chuckle, thankyou

Blue, it's better than what my H keeps singing..."proper chrimbo", he finds it hilarious, especially the line that says "so excited you might wee" ? he starts chuckling randomly to himself and I know he's singing it in his head ?

You're welcome. ?

Bet you wish you could hear it in it's full glory!!

I feel really stoopid now but it's not like I wrote it, just sang it at the top of our voices, and remembered it for the next 20 years!! ?

Those kids need the sticks removed!

Realised though that I got my carols confused and this was the one with the clapping http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=TnMnMDasLxw&feature=related Great song!

The Prince of Glory is his name.

Pretty sure that's it!

I seem to remember doing a whole Calypso Nativity....
