SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Song Challenge:   Maybe it was the tin-foil panties, maybe it's the summer heat, maybe it's our brand new grill; but, I find myself 'lusting in my heart' for some barbequed spare ribs, don't you?  That must be why I've picked this Challenge! idea from Roger the skiffler this time . . .   I can't help myself, I'd just love to see -- Babe On The Block -- From Roger the skiffler (22-Jun-01) I offer this as a possible future challenge, scope for sentimental song:   (BTW the pig was saved by the judge).  The owner of a retired celebrity pig is fighting a legal battle to save him from the foot-and-mouth slaughter. Grunty, a rare Maori kune kune pig, starred in a children's television film and has his own website.  But his fame did not stop an inspector from the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) from ordering him to be culled under the foot-and-mouth regulations.  Grunty's farm in Somerset was condemned because his owner had visited another of her holdings, which turned out to be infected.  Rosemary Upton, of Hill Farm, Stawley, near Wellington, Somerset, is applying for permission to seek a judicial review.   Appearing for her, Stephen Smith QC, suggested that Grunty had a much stronger case for survival than Phoenix the calf, saved after a blaze of publicity in April.  Grunty starred in Pig at the Ritz on Channel Five and in pleasanter times has accompanied Mrs. Upton on trips to the local village.

Mmmmmmmm -- this Challenge! sounds finger-licking good!!  (now where did I put that Worchester Sauce???).


Hiding Hind the Compost by Jack the Sailor
(Tune: Leaning on the Lamp Post by Peter Loone)

Jack's Comments: From VH1, (Verile Hog One) -- Where are they now?  That is the question we need to answer.  In a decidely agrarian and English way.  And what could be more English than a Peter Noone song with a corny, contrived introduction.  Thus, with apologies to music lovers everwhere, I give you (this song) . . .


{tinkly piano introduction word sung lightly almost recited as poetry}

Gary Coleman is guarding a mall
Downey is on probation
Mariah has had a great fall
It's an unforgiving nation
America may be cruel to has beens
As they drown their sorrows in bars
But that's nothing compared to the English
Who slaughter and burn former stars......

{sung energetically with a thick, possibly fake english accent}

I'm hiding hind the compost in the corner of the sty
Til a certian health inspecter walks by,
Oh Me! Oh My!
Until a certian health inspecter walks by

Oh, he's horrible, he's devious
Mischeivious, he's terrible
And anyone can understand why

I'm hiding hind the compost in the corner of the sty
until a certian health inspecter walks by,

Oh........
I'm hiding hind the compost in the corner of the sty
Til a certian health inspecter walks by,
Oh Me! Oh My!
Until a certian health inspecter walks by

I'm not the kind of pig to be made pork
So you will never see me on your fork
And now that the U.K cannot trade pork
They want to slaughter me
To get rid of the disease.........

Oh, he's killing cows, he's killing sheep
killing swine, oh life is cheap
And anyone can understand why

I'm hiding hind the compost in the corner of the sty
until a certian health inspecter walks by,

I'm hiding hind the compost in the corner of the sty
Til a certian health inspecter walks by,
Oh Me! Oh My!
Until a certian health inspecter walks by

Oh, he he will put and end to me
That's why I'm hiding
can't you see, That's why

I'm hiding hind the compost in the corner of the sty
until a certian health inspecter walks by,
