Yes, of course I've done my presentation.
Some of it.
In my MIND.
Look, a pterodactyl is making off with Margaret Thatcher's wig! *runs*
(BBC news reported the break up of Mark Thatcher's marriage, and included this paragraph:

"Educated at Harrow, he left in 1971 with just three O-levels. He did not go to university, and failed his accountancy exams three times."

And then they begrudgingly admit that he's actually quite successful.

Also, Colours of day dawn into the mind, the sun has come up, the night is behind, go down in the ciiiiity into the street, and let's give the message to the people we meet. Etc.

Hymn writers are so lazy. That one doesn't even really have a melody, the notes just go upwards for a bit then downwards for a bit then upwards again. It's very wrong.

And we used to sing hymns written to the theme tunes of Eastenders and Van Der Valk. 'Way long ago in the days of the prophets, they told of a king to beeeeeeee,/ Called by the name of Wonderful Counsellor, coming to set men freeeeeeee.' Etc.

OMG!!!!!! We used to play "Eye Level", which is the rather odd name for the Van Der Valk tune, in my high school band. We never sung no words to it though.

'For in the city of Bethlehem, people were crowded at Caesar's express decreeeeeeee. / In their midst were a man and a woman from Nazareth in Galileeeeeeee.....'

Catchy, isn't it?

I have no idea what you're singing.

That's the one to the tune of Van der Valk. I think it's very possible that the words were written by our crazy music teacher because I've not come across them anywhere else. The Eastenders one was about Papa Panov. A shoemaker. ::Drum roll thing:: 'Papa Panov dreamed a dream. In his dream he saw...the Christ Child before him....' It sort of fits.

I don't know what Van der Valk is either!

To the Internet Movie Database with you this instant. It's a detective thing set in Amsterdam. 1972. I've never seen it.

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

That looks rather fascinating. I must look out for it, although quite how I don't know.

Wossat one? It sounds vaguely familiar, but I don't think I do know it.
