Pinbowling - !!!NEW!!!

Things kind of ran away from me these past 2 months (new job, new home). Now getting back on track with a bulk posting to catch with my usual blog contributions starting with a new parody song.

Tubthumping Pinbowling not by Chumbawumba

They get knocked down, you stack em up again
Then you go ahead and knock them down
They get knocked down, you stack em up again
Then you go ahead and knock them down
They get knocked down, you stack em up again
Then you go ahead and knock them down
They get knocked down, you stack em up again
Then you go ahead and knock them down

It's not an easy game, it’s not a tricky game
It takes a long time, it takes a short time
When you win it becomes one of the good times
With your mates it becomes one of the best times
(Oh that’s a strike, that’s a strike, that’s a strike)

They get knocked down, you stack em up again
Then you go ahead and knock them down
They get knocked down, you stack em up again
Then you go ahead and knock them down
They get knocked down, you stack em up again
Then you go ahead and knock them down
They get knocked down, you stack em up again
Then you go ahead and knock them down

It's not an easy game, it’s not a tricky game
It takes a long time, it takes a short time
When you win it becomes one of the good times
With your mates it becomes one of the best times
(Don’t care if it’s in the gutter)

They get knocked down, you stack em up again
Then you go ahead and knock them down
They get knocked down, you stack em up again
Then you go ahead and knock them down
They get knocked down, you stack em up again
Then you go ahead and knock them down
They get knocked down, you stack em up again
Then you go ahead and knock them down

They get knocked down (your arm’s swinging)
You stack em up again
Then you go ahead and knock them down (then you’re winning)

They get knocked down (your arm’s singing)
You stack em up again
Then you go ahead and knock them down (ooh)

They get knocked down (your arm’s swinging)
You stack em up again
Then you go ahead and knock them down (then you’re winning)

They get knocked down (your arm’s swinging)
You stack em up again
Then you go ahead and knock them down (ooh)

They get knocked down (your arm’s swinging)
You stack em up again (passing the time away)
Then you go ahead and knock them down (then you’re winning)

They get knocked down (your arm’s swinging)
You stack em up again (passing the time away)
Then you go ahead and knock them down (ooh)

They get knocked down (your arm’s swinging)
You stack em up again (passing the time away)
Then you go ahead and knock them down (then you’re winning)

They get knocked down (your arm’s swinging)
You stack em up again (passing the time away)
Then you go ahead and knock them down (ooh)

They get knocked down (your arm’s swinging)
You stack em up again (passing the time away)
Then you go ahead and knock them down (then you’re winning)

They get knocked down (your arm’s swinging)
You stack em up again (passing the time away)
Then you go ahead and knock them down (ooh)

They get knocked down (your arm’s swinging)
You stack em up again (passing the time away)
Then you go ahead and knock them down (then you’re winning)

They get knocked down (your arm’s swinging)
You stack em up again (passing the time away)
Then you go ahead and knock them down (ooh)

They get knocked down (your arm’s swinging)
You stack em up again (passing the time away)
Then you go ahead and knock them down (then you’re winning)

They get knocked down (your arm’s swinging)
You stack em up again (passing the time away)
Then you go ahead and knock them down (ooh)

They get knocked down (your arm’s swinging)

It Gets Knocked Down - Horrific Histories

I paid a brief visit to Shakespeare's Globe today to take in the magnificence and splendour of the Lions Part's October Plenty festival so I thought today I'd share a song I penned (or rather parodied) for Horrible Histories about that very building.


‘It Gets Knocked Down’ not by Chumbawumba
In fifteen nine nine
It’s looking fine
In fifteen nine nine

It gets knocked down
Then built back up again
You're never gonna keep it down
It gets knocked down
We build it up again
You're never gonna keep it down

It’s the Globe Theatre
It’s the Globe Theatre
The Chamberlain’s Men planned
A theatre so grand
On Thames bank to stand
And by them be manned
Then in sixteen thirteen we heard
A cannon sound
And sadly the theatre was
Burned to the ground

Oh, have no fear
Have no fear

It gets knocked down
Then built back up again
You're never gonna keep it down
It gets knocked down
We build it up again
You're never gonna keep it down

It’s the Globe Theatre
It’s the Globe Theatre
The very next year
The Globe did reappear
And it did stay here
For many more a year
Then came the puritans who on
Fun they did frown
And then because of them
The Globe was shut down

Still don’t worry
It’s not over

It gets knocked down
Then built back up again
You're never gonna keep it down
It gets knocked down
We build it up again
You're never gonna keep it down

It gets knocked down
(A replica)
Then built back up again
You're never going to keep it down
(Stands not too far)
It gets knocked down
(From where they are)
We build it up again
You're never going to keep it down
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
