Finish the Norn Song

Hi Everyone, I've got a fun little game I'd like to try out. The rules are simple, someone says a famous song, such as There was an old woman who lived in a shoe, adds a creatures twist to it -There was an old Ettin who lived in an Ark, and then another person finishes off the next sentence of the song, and so on.

Example:

First Person:

The Norn has got his hat on,

Second Person: Hip, hip, hip hooray!

Third Person: The Norn has got his hat on,

Fourth Person: and he's coming out to play!

After the song has been finished you'll have to think up a new song.

Here's one to get you started:

The Grand old Shee of York,

Then you must call it example and then post an unflipped song under it, so we can get started.

Papriko's got a point - I have never heard of that hat song. One which might be particularly ripe is Spike Milligan's Ning Nang Nong Song, but it's too long to really play as a game.

You guys have never heard 'The Grand Old Duke of York' nursery rhyme?

The grand old duke of York
He had ten thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill,
And he marched them down again.
And when they were up, they were up,
And when they were down, they were down,
And when they were only halfway up
They were neither up nor down!


Maybe it's an English cultural thing. :)

Honestly, no, I'd never heard of the rhyme before either. :(



You have to be honest with yourself when you are writing. If that leads to somewhere unexpected then perhaps you really needed to go there.

I've always lived in the U.S. and I learned it as a child. I had forgotten all about it until you posted, Laura! Ah, memories...

*checks Laura's post again*

Oh, wait, I've heard that one before! :) Not from anyone directly, though; it was on a tape of English (?) nursery rhymes I was given as a kid.

I've never heard of the "hat" rhyme in the OP, though. That's the one I thought you were talking about previously.

And he wallbonked(?) them down again.

Maybe this game would work better if the original lyrics of the song we're meant to Creatures-flip were also posted - like I did with "The Grand Old Duke of York". It wouldn't have to be the entire lyrics either, especially if the song is long, but just an extract. What are everyone's thoughts? :)

They were neither em or flib.
Okay I'm gonna start a new one!
1,2,3,4,5, once I cought a grendel alive...

(One, two, three, four, five,

Once I caught a fish alive,

Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

Then I let it go again.

Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so.

Which finger did it bite?

This little finger on the right. ) Just to jog your memories!
