Jack Tar
- lisper 6y agoI first encountered Jack Tar in 1982 when I heard Maddy Prior sing "Saucy Sailor". Still one of my favorite songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgSwnL4au64 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgSwnL4au64 (or the canonical version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxXhA88ru0A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxXhA88ru0A)
- mirimir 6y agoThat's still one of my favorites :) I loved everything on "Below the Salt", really. But long before then, I loved "The Incredible String Band". And still do, along with the "Butthole Surfers" ;) And ... Edit: I know that's a strange jump. But consider BS's "The Wooden Song": Take me, break me Tell me a good one and maybe I'll cry Go with me, show me Tell me a good one and maybe I'll die Lately I've been dancing in ceiling fans Into the kitchen and out the back gate Well I know it sounds strange but it could be the other way Round to the ground where I know I must stay That's not far from ICB's "A Very Cellular Song", really.
