611. The Green-Eyed Dragon With the Thirteen Tails (Greatrix Newman, Wolseley Charles)

I sang this song for a Choir related solo! i took a different style to it, but generally the same. You should all try singing this sometimes, its an amazing song. Think of it as releasing your inner medieval soul through your throat!

@EmoPinkKitty Thanks for that interesting comment!

[MegaVuks]

[MegaVuks]

If it was a 78 it couldn't be an LP! (Short for Long-Playing record).

Yes, I also first heard this on a 78 from my father's collection. Not a song you hear very often these days!

[Eusebius39]

John Raitt sang it on T.V.

This is the first time I've heard this song since Stanley Holloway on a vinyl lp in childhood. It's also the first time I've seen any information about who is responsible for the song and when it was written! Kids need a good scare once in a while. Keeps them in line. ;)

[raymondcrooke]

And kids love scary songs. This was one of my favourites as a young child.

It was also recorded by John Aler, a very good light tenor.

Nice job! Five stars.

[raymondcrooke]

Thanks for that information - and the stars.

[shawnmcnair1]

you rock Ray. especially cool ending.

[raymondcrooke]

Thanks Shawn. Maybe I'll start doing that at the end of all my songs. Could be a kind of trademark.

[SirCoughsalot]

I LOVE IT! It reminds me a bit of Bela Lugosi's speech in Glen or Glenda. I'm gonna learn it so I can sing it to my little cousins. That's what it's all about. Favorited. Five stars, only because 6 isn't an option.

[raymondcrooke]

I'm sure your cousins will love it.

[Colognefgfg]

great! 5/5

[raymondcrooke]

Thanks, Christopher.

[Paulinajtking]

Reminds me a bit like the Jaberwocky. Enjoyed the suspense.

[raymondcrooke]

Dodgson or Gilliam?

Lewis Carol

[raymondcrooke]

One of my favourite poems. I love the Alice books.

[Paulinajtking]

One of mine as well. Still I love your song.

Regards Paul.

[dannyknapp]

[blinddrunkal]
