  • Resumen

  • Scottish and Irish folk songs combined with the Lord of the Rings music and a wee bit o’Celtic fun. The Brobdingnagian Bards (pronounced brob-din-nahg-EE-en) were The Original Celtic Renaissance music duo from Austin, Texas. Their unique brand of folk music on the autoharp, recorder, and mandolin made them one of the most-popular Celtic music groups online where they continue to give away thousands of free Celtic MP3 downloads daily. From 1999 to 2008, the Brobdingnagian Bards performed coast-to-coast, and in a given month could be found at a Lord of the Rings Oscar Party, a Celtic festival, or a Science Fiction Convention. However, they were an absolute favorite at Renaissance Faires where they added high-energy and wit to make every show a memorable experience. Thanks in part to this podcast, their shows are never done!

    TODAY’S SONG STORY: SATISFIED

    Recorded for Songs of Marked By Great Size and Songs of Ireland, and on Andrew’s CD, The Irish Bard

    Satisfied Lyrics

    words and music Andrew McKee

    It was twelve days ago in a pub. Night was near.
    I was on me fourth pint of their best Irish beer
    When a thought quickly struck me of all I hold dear.
    So I went on outside to the hill with my beer.

    Well, I smelled all the flowers all the flowers.
    I've left none to behind.
    I've told more the truth than I've told fib or lie
    And I hope when you find me in the hills where I'll lie
    That it'll always be said that I died satisfied.

    Well, I took both the good and the bad in me life.
    And I made the most of it in a home with me wife.
    And I raised me two kids both a girl and a boy.
    And they made all me life, oh, a gift to enjoy.

    As for friends I've had many I ne're walked alone,
    And a few were like family just as much as me own
    They helped in times troubled and made happiness known.
    And they gave me a young heart I've never outgrown,

    Well, the evening was leaving and the sun said goodbye.
    I thought of me past and I smiled with a sigh.
    Oh, I had no regrets nay a reason to cry.
    So I drank me beer down 'till the glass all was dry.

It was in 4/4 time and sounded nothing like our version. Our is in 3/4 time. That was the only way I could make it sound like a song that belonged at a Renaissance Festival.Stage performance choreography Frog Kissin' Lyrics words and music by Buddy Kalb, arrangement Marc Gunn Do you remember in the fairy tale, how the wicked witches spell Turned the handsome prince to a toad? By the power of a potion, she handed him the notion He was lower than the dirt in the road. And though she left him green and warted, her evil plans were thwarted Their chanced to happen by a young miss Who in spite of his complexion, offered him affection And broke the wicked curse with her kiss So if you've never been frog kissing Then you don't know what you've been missin', There's a wealth of opportunity under each and every log. And if you've never been charm-breakin', Then you've never been handsome prince makin'. You've got to slow down, turn around, bend down, Kiss you a frog! Once upon a time ago, I was down and feelin' low Like a lonely frog in a pond My life was just a joke, and I was just about to croak Cuz I'd be zapped by life's wicked wand. But in the depths of my depression, there came a true expression Of love from a person so sweet. She gave me warm fuzzy feelings, feelings that were healin' And she knocked me off my little webbed feet. There's a happy-ever-after-land, deep in the heart of man Where a prince and princess abides. But all we get are glimpses, of the happy prince or princess 'Cauce they're covered with a green warty hide. Though they're full of life's potential, they're lacking one essential To enable them to shine like a star. That's a handsome guy or missus, to smother them with kisses And love them just the way that they are. That's the secret of frog kissing You can do it too if you'll just listen There's a wealth of opportunity under each and every log. That's the secret of charm-breakin', That's the secret of handsome prince makin'. You've got to slow down, turn around, bend down, Kiss you a… You've got to slow down, turn around, bend down, Kiss you a… You've got to slow down, turn around, bend down, Kiss you a frog! 47:32 - Brobdingnagian Bards “Frog Kissin’” from Brobdingnagian Fairy Tales 50:29 - CLOSING Brobdingnagian Bards Podcast was produced by Marc Gunn and Andrew McKee.
