Les Humphries Singers -Mexico 1972 Mexico, Mexico, Mexico, Mexico Mexico, Mexico, Mexico, Mexico In 1580 we sailed our little ship around the coast Of Acrica down the Gaza strip. We took some salty bacon and a hammock for a bed. Then we mixed it with the Spaniards in the middle of the Med. Well we hired our funds Saw the pretty girls a comin'. There wasn't quite as many as there was a while ago We hired some more and then we started runnin' All down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. Mexico, Mexico, Mexico, Mexico Well Francis Drake said if you really want a fight The best thing is to catch them in the middle of the night. We hoisted anchor and powdered up the gun Then we sailed around in circles and just waited for the fun. We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin' There wasn't as many as there was a while ago We fired once more and they began to runnin' All down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. Mexico, Mexico, Mexico, Mexico yeah yeah yeah Mexico Mexico Mexico Mexico Mexico M - E - X - I - C - O Mexico Mexico Mexico Mexico Mexico Well cannon balls flew and the ship began to sink the water started risin' so we really had to think. And then by chance stood a man as black as coal So we grabbed him by the trousers and we plugged him in the hole So we hired our funds Saw the pretty girls a comin'. There wasn't quite as many as there was a while ago We hired some more and then we started runnin' All down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. Mexico, Mexico ...

The Swingle Singers are a mostly a cappella vocal group formed in 1962 in Paris, France with Ward Swingle, Anne Germain, Jeanette Baucomont and Jean Cussac. Christiane Legrand, the sister of composer Michel Legrand, was the lead soprano in the original French group. There are a total of eight members in the group: two sopranos, two altos, two tenors and two basses. In 1973, the original French group disbanded and Ward Swingle moved to London and re-formed the group with new members as Swingle II. They would later perform and record under the name The Swingles and then, The New Swingle Singers and eventually, simply, The Swingle Singers. Since the London group's incarnation, the group has never disbanded. Members have come and gone and the other members have re-auditioned for the voice part that has left.

"Deconstructing Johann" Lyrics: JS Bach had a little problem. JS Bach was in a fix. JS Bach couldn't find an answer. What to do? I've written most of a rather fabulous work! Toccata, it's in D minor, but now I'm feeling a bit of a jerk. I can't think of what should come after it. Now, said his wife, who was resting up after her 33rd child. Johann, my dear, you should just go to bed. Something always comes up. Don't be a twit! It's a real crisis and I'm working to a deadline. What can I fit? What to fit after the great toccata Maybe it needs to be something faster I haven't got a clue and in a week the piece is due I'm in a panic. I'm stuck like glue. Don't get your knickers in a twist, Johann, 'Those are only notes,' you've always said. There's only twelve so use your head How many arrangements of twelve notes can there possibly be? That's a problem I don't want to deal with How many permutations on C and D and E and F and G, A, B is a thing that I never heard of. You can leave that to Arnold Schönberg He is the person to do that twelve-tone thing No! No! It isn't the answer, I haven't the foggiest. What am I gonna do? I'm all in a panic Aaah, no. What can I do? I've finished my toccata but I have no fugue (Phone ringing) Ah... and now I've got the fugue! Теги:JohannSebastianBachTheKing'sSingers
