Captain Blakey
7 Dec 2003 04:57 pmDue to popular demand--OK, two of you plus Greg--here it is: 'Captain Blakey', my first filk.
It's based on Captain Beaky (and his Band), a song I love and was delighted to find on a CD collection of children's songs and stories we bought last week. If you don't know it, it's a pity as the catchy and stirring music is a major part of its charm--I've had it in my head all week. For anyone interested, the original lyrics (with a couple of small mistakes), are here.
[edit] If you do want to hear the original so that you know the music that goes with it, the mp3 file is here.
