Time Fer a Singsong 'round The Ol' Joanna

Originally posted by jj1564 at Tiime fer a Singsong 'round The Ol' Joanna

As promised, to end my minis contribution to The Minis Worldwide Celebrations, here we have a
selection of Cockney London songs - my family used to sing these and others at parties!
If you don't know them each song has a link (of varying quality!)
I've made Crowley a Cockney here, he sounds like a Londoner to me!
Get yer laughing gear round this lot...

Crowley kicks it off with a bleedin' luvly rendition of "Maybe It's Because I'm A Londoner"


Everyone joins in for a bit of "Rabbit"

Jake and Elwood take it home...


Next up is "Roll Out The Barrel" - also known as The Beer Barrel Song, Dean approves!


Followed by his Majesty singing "I'm Henery The Eighth I am"

With a little shout-out here to "Ghost"


Dean and Cas take the lead on "Down At The Old Bull and Bush"

Any excuse for Cas to hold Dean's hand!


This one is by Madness, not exactly a Cockney classic but a London classic - "I Like Driving In My Car"


The finale is "My Old Man"


Bonus - Oliver gets some Cockney elocution lessons.

My Fair Ollie!

Oh, I know all these! I've sung them all at some family party or other. It's totally appropriate that Crowley should be MC, seeing as he is from London - well, Mark Sheppard is, anyway.

Thank you for the lovely nostalgia session, me ole mucker!

I'm pleased you knew all of these, I wanted to include a few more - like The Lambeth Walk and My Old Man's a Dustman but it was getting too long! Yes, Crowley had to be the MC, he's got the right accent!

You're welcome, me ole china plate!

So, so cute! Cas "playing" the little piano and everyone singing, hee!

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

Yep, who knew winged Cas had hidden talent! I'm pleased you liked it
:)

*GRINS* I've sung all of these with my Nana Bear! Hehehe, this was wonderful seriously1 I've never grinned so wide whilst reading a comic strip :D

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

It's weird, I'm sure I replied to you! Wassup with LJ at the moment?? Anyway, thanks very much I'm pleased it made you grin :)

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

Lj is being a pain in the rear lately, lol! I do that all the time though, think I've replied and then boom, it's in my drafts O_O

[aerynsun5.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I had kind of an irritating day and this cheered me right up.

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

Sorry you had an irritating day, and I'm happy my minis cheered you up :)

[tuesdaeschild.livejournal.com]

I am speechless with awe! You even got in Madness. Awww, Baby!! ♥

Cas is very good on the old Joanna! Someone was singing the wrong words to Chas and Dave though...I could 'ear it plain as the 'ooter on me boat race. :)

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

Hee hee, I am pleased you liked it, me old china! I had to include Madness in a London-inspired post!

Yes, well spotted, I had to cut a line out for size!

PS Have you recovered from Sunday's Poldark yet?? It was a very tense one and so sad!

[tuesdaeschild.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, Madness should always be included in a London-inspired post! It's a must in Our House and to leave them out could be an Embarrassment. And, indeed, a Grey Day. I might have to catch the Night Boat to Cairo! ;)

Yes, well spotted, I had to cut a line out for size!

Erm...I'm not that clever - there was someone quacking when they should have been rabbiting. No idea who it was though. ;)

Just about over the tension of Sunday's Poldark but it'll take longer to get over the loss of Captain Henshawe. *wells up again* A steadfast, brave and loyal fellow and a bleddy gud friend of Cap'n Ross'. Pity someone doesn't take a musket to that bleddy George Warleggan!!

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

Poor Cap'n Henshawe, as you said, he was a good 'un, and a very loyal friend to Ross. And poor Dwight, he looked awful, I must admit I shed a tear when he was reunited with his Caroline - and another at Henshaw's funeral, especially when Ross was crying, awww! I hope that bleddy fool George gets his comeuppance - or t'won't be fair, right or proper!

PS Hee hee hee, I tried to teach duck to say rabbit, but to no avail!

[tuesdaeschild.livejournal.com]

As I remember from the novels it was Will Nanfan who died on the rescue mission but he's been a very minor character in this series. The reunion between Caroline and Dwight certainly was very emotional and poor Doctor Dishy is just a shadow of his former self. Methinks he'll need lots of tender loving care from all who love him. :((((

Ross was certainly deeply moved at the funeral; very good performances from everyone in that scene, I think. And yes, bleddy Warleggan should get his proper comeuppance.

or t'won't be fair, right or proper!

Us'll make a Cornish maid of 'e yet, my ansum! :))

PS It must be that duck's aren't the smartest birdies in the pond...or is the bleddy thing just stubborn?!!

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

I've never read the novels it was a shame poor Henshawe had to go. My sister and her family have lived in Perranporth for ten years, so they're getting proper Cornish, dreckly!

Bird brains...

[tuesdaeschild.livejournal.com]

Definitely a sad moment. :((((

Ah yes, I seem to remember you saying that your sister lived in Perranporth - that's kind of the centre of the World of Poldark. So yes, they'll be proper Cornish folk dreckly. :)))) And next time I'm in Newquay I really must try to go to Holywell Bay, where Drake has been busy courting Morwenna with Young Geoffrey Charles in tow. The Gull Rocks are iconic!

Bird brains...
