If you want to hear something really awesome you should hear the entire Boar's Head Festival. It take s about 1 1/2 hours to do and includes audience participation.
@NOmeansnoFAN - My comment referred to the music and pageantry of the festival, not the method of killing the boar. The tradition dates back to around the 1400's I believe at which time wild boars were more plentiful in the forests and are nasty creatures, so I doubt anyone killed one by choking it!
"Having no other weapon, the resourceful Oxonian rammed his metal-bound philosophy book down the throat of the charging animal, whereupon the brute choked to death. That night the boar's head, finely dressed and garnished, was borne in procession to the dining room, accompanied by carolers singing "in honor of the King of bliss.""
this song is awesome!
