Shakespearean Themed Night

[katman]

In case any of our members are called upon to do a Shakespearean Theme Night I thought it might be helpful to have the lyrics of the Hokey Cokey :)

Sounds like Peter wrote that.... :D

Funny, I thought that, too!

Maybe our very own Excalibur is the very reincarnation of Ol' Bill himself!!

Verily, forsooth and other words from that era!!

I actually did a Shakespearean themed 21st about 10 years ago. Great. Even the BBC documentary crew who were filming one of the guests were all in full fancy dress (guess they were supplied by the BBC wardrobe department). But I didn't play the Hokey-Poke...

Never in a month of Sundays! Peter would never be so crass as to use that Americanism 'Hokey-Pokey'

[Corabar Steve]

Only an american would write something in a Shakespearean style & muck it up by including an americanism like that

Shame on you coleen, the term is Irish in origin, where it still persists as the dance, and was imported across the pond with mass emigration :o ;)
Apparently it all started in London when a Canadian (Commonwealth Citizen of the Crown !!) asked a bandleader to compose it. Originally called the Hokey Pokey after a New Zealand (Also Commonwealth) Honeycomb Ice Cream flavour which he had heard shouted in the street.

It is also strongly rumoured that Shakespeare heavily plagiarised his predecessors such as Francis Bacon and ,presumably, Peter Fisher too ?
;) :D :D :D

Yea verily, how true are thy words, dear raven haired Hibernian, how true. Which mountebank, which webfooted rampalian doth impugn my literary standards? Who dares to insinuate that I would use a language of such base terms, so lacking in beauty poetry and accuracy?
Why I would sooner cut out my tongue*, rather than commit such a heinous and vile sin against literacy.


*For tongue, read keyboard. :D

And my dear venerable, venerated Tiddy Oggy eater, cease thy coozing, or expect a culloping. :p

What light on yonder window breaks ?, If music be the food of love, play on !
Once more unto the breach dear friend, for thou shalt have thy pound of flesh !

;) :D :D :D

And thee shall have something that you may have a little bibble. It's tardy, but worth waiting for, I believe.

These hands, these hands.. a poisoned chalice therein I behold ?... but nay, 'tis the very aqua vitae which restoreth the spirit in effervescent exuberance.

A'las, I knew thee well ;) :D

But best taken in moderation. :Naughty: I'd quote the Porter's speech to Macduff in the Scottish play,but some of the language could be considered a tad Rabelaisian for public perusal. Best hope that of the three things it provokes, you get more of the first one than the third, and none at all of the second. ;) ;)

Please be aware that incautious references to that which it provokes and unprovokes are fraught with danger.

O' Yorkist rapscallion, tho procrastinate,... godspeed a wondrous vessel to make visitation upon my threshold hence, therein to be found the very nectar of Bacchus :beer1:
