Alouetta

[barry1010]

My little granddaughter has just been singing this over the phone, she has learnt (learned?) it at school. I asked her what it meant in English and she doesn't know.
I told her to be sure to ask her teacher :D

Hope it doesn't give her nightmares

[Mamyalynne]

Just keep her away from the bird table.

[shoota]

It may if her teacher plays/played rugby...

[barry1010]

What a song to teach children. I'll keep her away from the budgie

[Chinajan]

Similarly, Il était une bergère

Poor wee kitten

[barry1010]

Never mind the kitten, what about the pervy priest? Good grief

[Mamyalynne]

It's a worry alright.

[Calibax]

Children's song to help learn body parts in French.
Literally about plucking a skylark but I suspect a metaphorical undertone of undressing a mademoiselle.

[Calibax]

Not surer how suitable "Auprès de ma blonde" is for children either.

alouette jonty alouette is
the earliest recording of sound by Monsewer whomever
and he had no means of replaying it

yup - waves on - - paper I think
and an engineer came along and got gobblegook
hey like you read on AB ! honestly engineers - some of them that is! - dont seem to realise what their right arm is for
and the engineer realised that Monsieur had defined a cycle as er only half a cycle
slowed it down x 2 and got - - - a warbled alouette

( at a loos end Sat am)



damn almost got it right - so what this is AB

[Atheist]

All the chicken that these kids eat has been plucked, and they ought to be told. Why do so many pretend that meat is just pink stuff in plastic?

[Mamyalynne]

Don't know anyone that does that, guess there are some.
