Heather Alexander - Freaking the Mundanes

[ellebolle1]

Oh, I forgot to tell. It was of cousre a misstake. That could be some missunderstandings there.

[ellebolle1]

and in the end the toll would hand out condomes. So, one of us should go to the youth clinic to ask for condomes. The problem was he went to the office of a company... and asked for 50 condomes...in his funny cloths XD . That must have been some freakt out mundanes.

[ellebolle1]

Ok, I have a story abou t freakin mundanes. Where I live we have an anual renfair, made by the local SCA-group and the local LARP-group. We larpers aranged a "Story Path" where the children could go and meat trolls and fairies etc. And in the end a troll whom they had helpd would give them a chocolate goldcoin. We where doing a "adult" story path for the people who was working on the fair,

[greengrendel]

gonna freak the mundanes tomorrow XD not with the SCA but w/e, my friend has managed to convince me...

[Madshoe7]

Sounds much like Waltzing Matilda by Seekers)))

[retardrepellent]

If someone can Reply to this, I'd like to know:

I have a few questions, I'm thinking about joining SCA or something similar, I need to know some honest answers about people in SCA and the general SCA experience.

[Aharndts]

@retardrepellent

Depend on the group... but I always understood the SCA as the Society of Consenting Adults.

[Shanawolfo1]

@retardrepellent The SCA has a website sca(dot)org.

From there you can find your kingdom's website and hopefully a local group.

I've been bringing music to the western edge of Northsield for nearly three years now, and loving every minute of it.

[TheVioletneko]

shaughnessy redstone of the SCA Pelican status in An Tir I know I own the tape this is on.

[Riallia]

@TheVioletneko OOOOH? would you happen to know where I can find a CD of that album? I had a copy of the tape 13yrs ago and it got lost in a move. I was never told what the album name was >.<

[TheVioletneko]

@Riallia

I wish I could I have a homemade tape that barely works. I don't think she has done much since her husband Karl died. I miss her here in NC.

[Wulfgarr13]

This is actually I Believe Julia Eklar...Definitely not Heather as per her Heir, Alexander James Adams

[JessicaBurde]

OMG - this is great! I LOVE freaking the mundanes.

[AzrealShadow]

Haha so the theme soung for when we do Changeling: the Dreaming

[winterbornfan]

i love the pic you used

[retardrepellent]

Uhhh... I have a few questions about SCA, I'm fifteen and considering joining when I'm 16 next month. I won't post them all now as I am very tired and still need to organize them in my thoughts, but if anyone is a veteran or newcomer scadian that would be willing to talk a little about it, I'd be grateful.

[Arella17]

I'm learning this song...I'm joining SCA and I'm gonna be a bard...I've already learned Least of my Kind and The duke's eldest daughter ^_^

[BobbyGimel]

The crediting should be changed. This is NOT Heather Alexander.

[retrothefox]

Oh how I wish I could do this .... now I know my plans for this holiday! :D

[CeriDellaThornApple]

OH MY GOD! you are AWESOME! when I joined the SCA my dad told me how he and his heavy fighter buddies linked arm in arm skipped through the mall dressed in all their armor singing this song. since then i have been looking for it. at last my search is over!

[bunny2299]

This reminds me of our anime club. We scare people often, or just confuse them. (My friend next to me agrees) This song is AWESOME!!

[whytbear1]

I believe the artist to be Leslie Fish(a noted filker/SCAdian)

[retardrepellent]

"You must check your weapons!"

The landlord cried,

and he stared as his bar disappeared

beneath a pile of steel...

love this song.

[Luminasita]

SCAdians, Amtgardians, Nero goers and Rennies- personally this is my favorite past time, freaking the mundanes :)

[NightFlinger]

@Luminasita Amtgard. What an annoyance, but it IS fun to beat on people with foam-padded sticks :D

[doctorpsycho1960]

One hears stories...you never know how much credence to give them...about hotel staff or restaurant managers or cops or bosses being freaked out by the SCAdians. There is a story about an Airman (female) who was sent ot the base psychiatrist because of her habit of spending her off-duty hours in court gowns she made herself. But as they say, if you do it with other people, it's not insanity, it's just a club.

[YaoGuaiSlayer]

@doctorpsycho1960 Or a cult....shhhhh ;)

I always liked the story about the muggers who tried to rob some woman who was fresh from some event and was still wearing her armor and sword under her long coat.

"I'll see your six (inch knife) and raise you thirty!" draws sword... Suddenly she wasn't such an attractive target. Gee, wonder why?

[hermesthegod1]

@YaoGuaiSlayer That. Is. AWESOME!

I'd like to join the SCA, but I'm already in re-enacting

[scotish33]

awesome this is the best scadian song ever made cant wait for gulf wars

[TheRomulan]

lol. Sounds like what some of us wilder trekkies do to scare people...:P pointy ears and power weapons...:P

[Earthboundwhisper]

I like it but its miss labled XD

[KitsuneOokamiYasha]

Anyone else notice this is done to the tune of "Waltzing Matilda"?

[ShethTora]

Noticed that within the first line. It's odd but still good. =)

[Riallia]

I realize it's miss named... I don't know the accual artist and this is how it was listed when I found the MP3. I appologize if anyone takes offence.

[Seurn]

The singer's SCA name is Shaugnessy. She is local to the kingdom of An Tir, Barony of Blatha an Oir (Tacoma, WA) area. She has several discs of SCA music that she sells and is one of the most lovely people I have ever had the honor to meet.

[LittleCrowling]

Wow. Small world. When I used to go to events more frequently and remembered what she looked like, I saw her by chance down the aisle at Costco once and we just sort of stared at each other in disbelief that the other existed in the mudane world! XD

[Wolfan00]

@Seurn I have head a handful of her music, do you have a link to a place to get some of these CDs?

[AsnyHaakonsdottir]

@Riallia Actually, this lady's name is the Honourable Lady Shaughnnesy of the greatest Kingdom of the Knowne World of the SCA. ALL HAIL AN TIR! She has many songs on her albums as teaching tools for new singers and what not. I've sung at her side at many a bardic through House Redstone campfires on many cold nights in An Tir.

In service to the Dream, the art of the Bard, and the Kingdom of An Tir<

[Caitrina]

First, this is not Heather Alexander singing. Second, gotta love us SCAdians.

[Ironsouled]

Lol. SCA. Love it. Haven't met any SCAdians besides meself tho

[Caitrina]

Then you should have gone to Pennsic. That was the best!

[xuderclinabob]

Amen! Best two weeks ever!

[XxWildJasminexX]

BEST SONG EVER!

[YoakeNoUsagi]

XXD! I LOVE this!

The sound quality is bad, but the lyrics are Choice! I absolutely adore Freaking out Normal People Aka Freaking the Mundanes. ♥ Hazzah. ♥

[Riallia]

I apologize for the music qualitiy. It's the only copy I've ever found.

[ElenaxHospitable]

That's... Not her. But I do like the song. As Hegemon so aptly put it, "Been there, done that."
