    Billion dollar folk singer. He deserves every penny. Great song and performance. Wished he left out the F word though.

    • @charles92027
      @charles92027 10 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      yeah, it's a fantastic performance, but the F word was totally un-necessary, it added nothing to the performance, in fact it's glaring and detracts.

    • @bknoll100
      @bknoll100 8 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      +Dan D. Dirges - I don't know, I think the F-word is really appropriate here. The story is how a young guy feels after the one he loves leaves him for someone else. If your wife/gf/partner left you for someone else, I'm sure the f-word would cross your mind at least once. Overall, I think it adds to his frustration and emotion.

    • @chrispiercey256
      @chrispiercey256 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Once I was happy, but now I'm forlorn
    Like an old coat that is tattered and torn;
    Left on this world to fret and to mourn,
    Betrayed by a maid in her teens.
    The girl that I loved she was handsome;
    I tried all I knew her to please
    But I could not please her one quarter so well
    As the man upon the trapeze.
    He'd fly through the air with the greatest of ease,
    That daring young man on the flying trapeze.
    His movements were graceful, all girls he could please
    And my love he purloined away.
    This young man by name was signor bona slang,
    Tall, big and handsome, as well made as chang.
    Where'er he appeared the hall loudly rang
    With ovation from all people there.
    He'd smile from the bar on the people below
    And one night he smiled on my love.
    She wink'd back at him and she shouted "bravo,"
    As he hung by his nose up above.
    Her father and mother were both on my side
    And very hard tried to make her my bride;
    Her father he sighed, and her mother she cried,
    To see her throw herself away.
    'Twas all no avail, she went there every night,
    And would throw him bouquets on the stage,
    Which caused him to meet her; how he ran me down,
    To tell you would take a whole page.
    One night I as usual went to her dear home,
    Found there her father and mother alone.
    I asked for my love, and soon they made known,
    To my horror that she'd run away.
    She'd packed up her box and eloped in the night
    With him, with the greatest of ease;
    From two stories high he had lowered her down
    To the ground on his flying trapeze.
    Some months after this I went to the hall;
    Was greatly surprised to see on the wall
    A bill in red letters, which did my heart gall,
    That she was appearing with him.
    He'd taught her gymnastics and dressed her in tights,
    To help him live at his ease,
    And made her assume a masculine name,
    And now she goes on the trapeze.
    She'd fly through the air with the greatest of ease,
    You'd think her the man young man on the flying trapeze.
    Her movements were graceful, all girls she could please,
    And that was the end of my love.

  • @readingrox19

    @FrankeeFraud many old folk songs and ballads are like that. for example, all my life i loved the song Clementine though i never paid the lyrics much mind. then i listened to them and what do ya know? its about Clementine's dad or lover (depending on the point of view) not being able to save poor Clementine from drowning. but i think theres something enchanting about a sad song sung in a somewhat happy tone u know? it gives it an extra spark in my opinion.

  • @jzancan
    @jzancan 16 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    i think swearing is usually used to add to the tone of the song--he's hurtin'. if somebody says "i'm pissed," its different than "i'm fuckin' pissed." its a tone thing. i've always found it rather effective.

      FLY through the air with the greatest of ease,
      THIS Devilish Dragon, on a Flying Trapeze,
      It's BIG and it's BAD, but it does not scare me!
      God is watching that cough and that sneeze!
      It wants in your home, wherever you'll BE,
      Attached to a friend on his clothes as he BREATHES,
      It wants to breath ON as many as it CAN
      So put on those GLOVES when you've washed both your hands!
      Never "stolen" from anyone's melodies before, but this HAS to be utilized and "borrowed" to EMPOWER THE CHILDREN AFRAID OF THIS VIRUS!

    "Betrayed by a maid barely out of her teens"? - OK, that is taking political correctness just too far. This song has been a world standard since 1869. Respect it - and leave it be. Betrayed by a maid in her teens!

    • @jacobthelioneater
      @jacobthelioneater 10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I think it was a joke about that - a few things that give me that impression are the way he seems to add in 'barely out of' quickly (to create a surprise for those not expecting it) and the way he smiles as he says it. A few audience members laughed about it as well.
      I should also note that there are so many versions of this song out there (with different endings!) that it is more the music and general concept that have become standard, as opposed to any specific set of lyrics.

    Only Bruce could ruin a song this good. Popeye sang in better in the cartoon. He also left out about half of the lyriics. I guess Bruce couldn't remember it all. And with a full orchestra and dozens of singers he still ruins it. The only worse cover he did was "Summer Time Blues" where he emphasizes "THE" cause he can't make the song.
    If Bruce ever gets over himself he'll be collecting cans at his next gig, telling us to vote for Obama again, and lousing up some other cover songs.
