Not necessarily "dirty" is The Art of the Ground Round

I thought P.D.Q. was an American wanna-be Bach descendent.  A sham.

Of course he is!  But he's keeping alive a vital tradition.

And then there's the classic three-part catch commonly known as "Zounds, what a long pr!ck!"  ;D
Imagination + discipline = creativity

FYI
There's a lot of them out there by Purcell and Ravenscroft that you might enjoy.  One on Inigo Jones or the one about 'all through the night it was honour and offer'...

I have a huge 'Dirty Song Book' (no surprise there, huh? ::)),... one I like is called 'Suzanne', where the last word of each line sets up a dirty 'rhyme', which is then turned into something witty rather than dirty (e.i., the last word is 'clock', but then the next line goes off in a totally different direction).

Why are all these dirty classical songs sung with a British accent?
