The ballad of AO and BO

"The ukulele, the missing link between music and noise."

Kerazy bebop on the Big Trumpet

Blow it out your...

LYRICS (To the tune of Singing In The Bathtub) Playing in the brass box Making lots of noise Feeling kind of tough now, Just like one of the boys ‘Loud enough for ya?’ Putting in my earplugs Got my magazine Someone’s talking fishing, All night, or so it seems Here come the trumpets, Each with a different tune, Here come the trombones, And the tuba’s gonna come in soon ! Bonding with my colleagues, Who could ask for more ? We’re gonna get a new pit In two-thousand-and-four* !

At the end-of-season party AO and BO sought to entertain their colleagues with a heart-felt ode to life in the partitioned-off brass area within the Opera Theatre pit. My lyrics strove for timeless yet lelevant references to brass players reading magazines in their bars rest, our section fishing-nut, (hence the hat-fish), intonation, workloads, etc., The 'new pit in 2004' line is already dated, that promise pushed off ever into the future (2012 is the latest estimate). It is hopefully in the interest of the refurbishment being done PROPERLY.

See AO and BO's auspicious debut! See AO and BO's more recent adventures!

* Two-thousand-and TWELVE is the latest estimate...
