Time for a Poe quiz.

What costume did Fortunato wear in The Cask of Amontillado?

The man wore motley. He had on a tight-fitting parti-striped dress and his head was surmounted by the conical cap and bells. - Poe

We have a winner, folks. (sorta)

It was a fool's cap. Poe and his irony.

Same as Prosper Merrimee's Fortunato in Mateo Falcone.

Thanks, sublime and dj. You guys know how to play.

Jacques Cousteau? Why, my goodness. That is a sublime sobriquet. Love it.

It seems that bigdice is having a birthday, folks, and he and Urs celebrated it in Florida. (clever couple)

So, here's a song for him from Jacques and all of us. Can you guess why?

Need to know
If you're letting go
It's alright
Didn't know
I was hurting you so
It's alright
You came to me from nowhere
With nothing
And no one
Hold tight
Goes to show
You never really know
It's alright
This is just one of those lonely nights
Lonely nights
The good times gonna come
See me then investing so much
In you
Came so close
To the edge
I do
In the end
We let it all go
We let it float away
On the breeze
'Round the bend
The sun is in the sky
It's starting to look like
It's gonna be
A bright
Beautiful Birthday.

Money's Gettin' Cheaper

Jimmy Witherspoon

Well, money's gettin' cheaper, prices gettin' steeper
Found myself a woman but I just couldn't keep her
Times gettin' tougher than tough
Things gettin' rougher than rough
I make a lot of money, I just keep spendin' the stuff
Well, pork chops on the market,
ask the butcher for a pound
Couldn't buy a pork chop
when I laid my money down
Times gettin' tougher than tough
Things gettin' rougher than rough
I make a lot of money, just keep spendin' the stuff

Well, politicians are tellin' folks
to cut out on their meat
Why don't they cut the price an' let the people eat?
Times gettin' tougher than tough
Things gettin' rougher than rough
I make a lot of money, I just keep spendin' the stuff

Well, I can't afford to live, I guess I'll have to try
Undertaker's got a union, and it costs to much to die
Times gettin' tougher than tough
Things gettin' rougher than rough
I make a lot of money, I just keep spendin' the stuff

Rocks In My Bed

Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Irene Anderson

My heart is heavy as lead
Because the blues has done spread
Rocks in my bed

Of all the people I see
Why do they pick on poor me
and put rocks in my bed

All night long I weep
So how can I sleep
with rocks in my bed

There's only two kinds of people
I can't understand
There's only two kinds of people
I can't understand, that's a deceitful woman
And a hard headed man

She took my man away
And ain't goin' bring him back
She took my man away
And ain't goin' bring him back
She's lower than a snake down on a wagon track

I got rocks in my bed
I got rocks in my bed
Rocks in my bed
I got rocks in my bed

Under loved and over fed
My man's gone, so instead
I got rocks in my bed

by Duke Ellington

Bad City Rollers

Money-can't make you turn your head now
Money-can't get you into bed now
Money
Honey-can't give more than you get now.

Money Honey you aint' got no respect
But I like to watch you just to see what you can get
And Money Honey gets you breakfast in bed
And Money Honey
oh you drive me out my head.

Living like a princess with a frown
Giving-l can't afford to cry on
Money
Honey
hey
girl come on
don't bring me down.

Money Honey you ain't got no respect . . .

Money-must it buy all I can get now
Money-without it how far will I get now
Money
Honey

Money Honey you ain't got no respect .

Elvis Presley

(Words & music by Tepper - Bennett)
Every time you look at me
I'm as helpless as can be
I become a puppet on a string
You can do 'most anything with me

All you do is touch my hand
And your wish is my command
I become a puppet on a string
You can do 'most anything with me

If you really love me
Darling please be kind
I offer you the truest love
That you will ever find

Take my heart and please be fair
Handle it with loving care
For I'm just a puppet on a string
You can do 'most anything with me

If you really love me
Darling please be kind
I offer you the truest love
That you will ever find

Take my heart and please be fair
Handle it with loving care
For I'm just a puppet on a string
You can do 'most anything with me
You can do 'most anything with me

monty python's "money song" Laughing

Quote:

The Money Song

I've got ninety thousand pounds in my pyjamas,
I've got forty thousand french francs in my fridge.
I've got lost of lovely lire,
Now the Deutschemark's getting dearer,
And my dollar bills would buy the Brooklyn Bridge.
Chorus: There is nothing quite as wonderful as money,
There is nothing quite as beautiful as cash.
Some people say it's folly,
But I'd rather have the lolly,
With money you can ma-ake a splash.
Finale: There is nothing quite wonderful as money,
(money,money,money,mon
ey)
There is nothing like a newly minted pound,
(money,money,money,money)
All: Everyone must hanker for the butchness of a banker,
It's accountancy that makes the world go round.
(round,round,round)
You can keep your Marx
ist ways
For it's only just a phase.
For it's money money money makes the world go round.
(money,money,money,money
money,money,money,money
moneeeeeeeeeeeyyyy)

Love that python, hbg, and here's another by them.

Monty Python I've Got A Lovely Bunch Of Coconuts

Down at an English fair
One evening I was there,
When I heard a showman shouting
Underneath the flare:

Hoi've got a lo-ve-ly bunch o' coconuts.
There they are a-standin' in a row.
Big ones, small ones, some as big as yer 'ead!
Give 'em a twist, a flick o' the wrist,
That's what the showman said.

Hoi've got a lo-ve-ly bunch o' coconuts.
Hevery ball yer throw will make me rich.
There stands me wife, the idol of me life,
Singin' "roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!

Singin' roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!
Singin' roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!
Roll a-bowl a ball, roll a-bowl a boll, singin' roll a-bowl a ball a penny a pitch!

Instumental

I've got a lo-ve-ly bunch of coconuts (They're lovely!)
There they are a standing in a row.
(One, two, three, four)
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head
(And bigger)
Give 'em a twist, a flick of the wrist, thats what the showman said.

Now that hoi've got a lo-ve-ly bunch of coconuts.
(La-da-de-da-da)
Hevery ball you throw will make me rich.
(Have a banana)
There stands me wife, the idol of me life,
Singin' roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!

All together now!

Singin' roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!
(Harmony!)
Singin' roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!
Roll a-bowl a ball, roll a-bowl a ball, singin' roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch.

Instumental

Singin' roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!

Quote:

Ain't Nobody's Business

Billie Holiday, Freddie King

There ain't nothing I can do, or nothing I can say,
Some folks will criticize me.
So I'm gonna do just what I want to anyway,
And don't care if you all despise me.

If I should take a notion
To jump into the ocean,
It ain't nobody's business if I do.

If I go to church on Sunday
And I shimmy down on Monday,
It ain't nobody's business if I do.

And if my friend ain't got no money
And I say, "All right, take all of mine honey,"
It ain't nobody's business if I do.

If I lend her my last nickel
And it leaves me in a pickle,
It ain't nobody's business if I do.

I would rather my gal would hit me
Than to haul right up and quit me.
It ain't nobody's business if I do.

I know that she won't call no copper
If she gets beat up by her poppa.
It ain't nobody's business if I do, Lord no.
Well, it ain't nobody's business if I do.

Although the 32nd of March is already yesterday, here's my favourite song about fooling others
(Lonnie Donegan)

Now, this here's the story about the Rock Island line
Now, the Rock Island line is a railroad line
And it runs down into New Orleasn
And just outside of New Orleans is a big toll gate
And all the trains that go through the toll gate
Why, they gotta pay the man some money
Less of course, they got certain things on board
Then they okay, then they don't ever have to pay the man nothin'
And right now, we see a train
She's comin' on down the line
And when she got up here to the toll gate
The-a depot, he shout down to the driver
He want to know what he got on board
So he say a
What you got on board there, boy
And the driver, he sing right on back
Down to the depot agent
Tell him what he got on board
The got a way of singing

I got sheep, I got cows
I got horses, I got pigs
I got all livestock
I got all livestock
I got all livestock

And the man say, well, he say
Your alright there, boy
You don't have to pay me nothin'
Just get 'em on through
So the train go through the toll gate
And as it go through
It got up a little bit of steam
And a, a little bit of speed
And when he sees me
On the other side of the toll gate
They, the driver shout back
Down the line to the man
'Course you don't hear what he say now
But home down the Rock Island line

I fooled you, I fooled you
I got pig iron, I got pig iron
I got all pig iron

He said, tell you where I'm goin', boy
Goin' down the Rock Island line, yes, yes
She's a mighty good road
Oh well, the Rock Island line
She's a mighty good road
Rock Island line is the road to ride
Ya, the Rock Island line
Is a mighty good road
And if you want to ride
You gotta ride it
Like you find it
Get your ticket at the station
On the Rock Island line
Well, I may be right
I may be wrong
I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Ya,the Rock Island line
She's a mighty good road
Rock Island line is the road to ride
Ya, the Rock Island line
she's a mighty good road
And if you want to ride
You gotta ride it
Like you find it
Get your ticket at the station
On the Rock Island line

A B C, W X Y Z
Cat's in the cupboard
But he don't see me

Now, the Rock Island line
She's a mighty good road
Rock Island line is the road to ride
Ya, the Rock Island line
She's a mighty good road
And if you want to ride
You gotta ride it
Like you find it
Get your ticket at the station
On the Rock Island line

Hallaluah, I'm safe from sin
The good Lord's comin'
For to see me again

Keep it goin'

And the Rock Island line
She's a mighty good road
Rock Island line is the road to ride
Ya, the Rock Island line
She's a mighty good road
And if you want to ride
You gotta ride it
Like you find it
Get your ticket at the station
On the Rock Island line

The Rock Island line
She's a mighty good road
Rock Island line is the road to ride
Ya, the Rock Island line
She's a mighty good road
And if you want to ride
You gotta ride it
Like you find it
Get your ticket at the station
On the Rock Island line

Good morning, WA2K listeners and contributors.

Well, my goodness, there's our Walter aboard the Rock Island Lion. My dad was a railroad man, and that gave me a great boost this morning. Thanks for your observation, Germany, and especially the funny way of saying that it is April 2.

Here's one for the rails.

Bringin' on water and shovelin' coal
Tryin' to make some honest pay
My Papa said, "Son it's a good old job"
"Just a workin' on the railway"
Up with the sun most everyday
Down to the railroad yard
Drivin' those spikes and liftin' ties
And fixin' those railroad cars

Chorus:
I'm workin', I'm workin', I'm workin' hard
Just a workin' in the railway yard
I'm workin', I'm workin', I'm workin' hard
Just a workin' in the railway yard

Spreadin' that gravel underneath the tracks
Replacin' those worn out ties
The sound of the metal hittin' iron and steel
As another train rolls by
Swingin' that hammer 'til my body aches
Poundin' 'til my hands are red
Doin' everything from checkin' brakes
To buildin' the flagman's shed

Chorus

I tell everyone the pay ain't much
And the work is mighty hard
They say, "Joe why don't you quite
A workin' in the railway yard"
But I just smile and shake my head
'Cause I could never see the day
When I'm not gettin' my hands a dirty
Just a workin' on the railway

Chorus
