Michael Flanders And Donald Swann - Excerpts From At The Drop Of A Hat flac album

Michael Flanders and Donald Swann began their musical comedy act in 1956 and continued to delight audiences with their concerts until 1967. In this short time they achieved international renownment with their three albums, of which At the Drop of a Hat was the first. Whether extolling the joys of riding a London omnibus in "A Transport of Delight" or sorting out the complexities of stereo equipment in their "Song of Reproduction," Flanders and Swann always found a skewed view of any topic they touched.

Featuring Michael Flanders & Donald Swann. Album At the Drop of Another Hat. A Song of Patriotic Prejudice Lyrics. You know it's a curious thing, I don't know if you've ever thought of this, but England hasn't really got a national song. I mean, you know, just for England; there's plenty for Great Britain, but that's quite different. The Welshman's dishonest, he cheats when he can A little and dark, more like monkey than man He works underground with a lamp in his hat And he sings far too loud, far too often, and flat! And crossing the Channel, one cannot say much For the French or the Spanish, the Danish or Dutch The Germans are German, the Russians are red And the Greeks and Italians eat garlic in bed! The English are moral, the English are good And clever and modest and misunderstood.

Flanders and Swann were a British comedy duo. Lyricist, actor and singer Michael Flanders (1922–1975) and composer and pianist Donald Swann (1923–1994) collaborated in writing and performing comic songs  . The pair went their separate ways during World War II, but a chance meeting in 1948 led to a musical partnership writing songs and light opera, Flanders providing the words and Swann composing the music. In 1963, Flanders and Swann opened in a second revue, At the Drop of Another Hat, at the Haymarket Theatre.
