You Picked a Fine Time to Leave Me Seal - A Meeting of Minds

***Pam*** · Nov 28 2004, 10:47 PM

as performed by Tania Opland and Mike Freeman at Dragon*Con here are Elizabeth Ann Scarborough's lyrics to an older favorite

You Picked a Fine Time to Leave Me You Seal
lyrics: Elizabeth Ann Scarborough
set to: You Picked a Fine Time to Leave Me Lucille

CHORUS: You picked a fine time to leave me, you seal.
The babe that I bore you just makes my head real.
He'll only eat kippers, has four lovely flippers,
Wants to dive down the well for his meals.
You picked a fine time to leave me, you seal.

You are a selkie or that's what you tell me
Though I'd have sworn you were a man.
A right comely boy-o, you gave me much joy
O, but I never did understand
I'd have cause to re-gret once you got your feet wet
But a selkie as I've come to know,
On hitting the water can swim like an otter
And balance a ball on his nose

(chorus)

Though we parted friendly I think you should send me
Some child support, that is my wish
Since I moved to Ohio, it's hard oh, you'll never know
To just keep that poor kid in fish.
And if I ever remarry it must be to some faerie
Of selkie descent or at least
To some understanding and most undemanding guy
In the employ of Greenpeace.
(chorus)

Heavens, that brings back memories - Annie Scarborough and Tania sang that "impromptu" at DragonCon 2003 during one of the Weyrfest panels

Hilarious

Lady Maelin · Apr 18 2007, 06:26 PM

I love the words to the song, and only wish that I could have been at Dragon Con. To have been there to see both Elizabeth and Tania perform it....that must have been hilarious.

GEEE...I just found this thread...

sigh

... after all this time...I can't believe I missed it.

Gwina · Apr 18 2007, 10:28 PM

I'm so glad you saw this thread Lady Maelin. I hadn't viewed it either... ROFL!

Becky · Apr 19 2007, 10:52 AM

Thanks again to Maelin for digging this up! I missed it too! LOLOLOL! That's just too funny!

Lady Maelin · Apr 19 2007, 07:20 PM

I have a feeling that there are a lot more treasures on this site...now all we have to do is go and hunt for them....(going off to get my trusty treasure hunting gear!!!)hey anyone got a map...LOL

Becky · Apr 22 2007, 09:37 PM

LOL, Maelin! :mutters under breath: I know I saw that map around here somewhere not that long ago!

Lady Maelin · Apr 26 2007, 07:36 PM

ROFL...Well when you find it let me know...I hate looking for things by accident!!!

Lanen · Jul 3 2007, 05:27 PM

Mike Freeman and Tania Opland sang that at their guest of honour gig at the Orkney Folk Festival last spring. It went down an absolute storm.

Lady Maelin · Jul 5 2007, 05:32 PM

It would be wonderful to see them perform in person

...I wathced the film that they have on their site...and they sound fantastic. I can't believe I still haven't sent for their CD, I even have an order form ready to go...I must be thinking of other things these days.LOL As soon as we get back from our trip in September...I will treat myself to a copy.

FlameCat · Jul 5 2007, 07:35 PM

wow

That Is So Funny!!!!!!!!
I LOVE it!

L'isa · Jul 8 2007, 02:16 PM

OMG, that is hilarious!!!

mawra · Jul 17 2007, 12:04 AM

I just read the song & love it Pam

eann · Mar 17 2009, 12:12 AM

eann takes bows, "thank you, thank you, you have all been SUCH a good audience. Don't forget to tip your waitress.
BTW, there are now TWO Tania Opland/Mike Freeman Pern CDs to buy (both with the instigation as well as inspiration of McAnnie herself) the Masterharper one and the brand new Sunset's Gold. which is Menolly's songs.

GinnyStar · Mar 17 2009, 03:02 AM

LOL neat song. Its something I have come back and completely re-read later.

Which I hope to get some day.

P'ter · Mar 19 2009, 05:19 PM

I heard them do it live at an English Folk Club last autumn.

eann · Mar 20 2009, 04:56 AM

I last heard them in my living room about a week ago. They're on their way up to Canada now.

P'ter · Mar 20 2009, 06:31 AM

You lucky lady

jube · Mar 20 2009, 09:08 AM

Spitting chips and green with envy.

Good song though.

P'ter · Mar 20 2009, 11:32 AM

According to Tanya they sang it at a Folk Fest in Orkney where the locals take their Selkies seriously. They nearly got thrown out!

eann · Mar 20 2009, 04:19 PM

That's not what Tania told me. She said it brought down the house because those people have heard every selkie song in the book and that one was new to them. 'Course it was. I just made it up!
Tania and I are old friends from Alaska. For a short time we were roommates before she came to Seattle to pursue her music career. When I came down here we were roomies again until I found a house where I could keep my cats in the style to which they wished to become accustomed. When I wrote the SONGKILLER SAGA books, we kinda sorta in a small way went on the road with it--every time I had a signing she came along and I did a reading and when we got to a song she sang it or we sang it together. Now that she has Mike and they are hopping back and forth across the ocean all the time, we don't get to sing together as much but we have been known to "meow" the Blue Danube skater's Waltz all the way from Poulsbo to the airport, two hours away.

P'ter · Mar 20 2009, 07:07 PM

Have you ever tried the 'Duetto Buffo di due Gatti'? by Rossini?

eann · Mar 21 2009, 03:59 AM

Not familiar with it. My grasp of Italian is mostly limited to "Ciao" and "macaroni" but I take it this sis something about a duet between cats?

***Hans*** · Mar 21 2009, 06:18 AM

It's great fun but very hard to do right, Eann.

Look here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sPJDB8yp4s

eann · Mar 22 2009, 05:34 AM

Especially for someone who can't seem to type "is" instead of "sis".

P'ter · Mar 22 2009, 05:59 AM

Oh Dear! A writer suffering from digitae entanglae. Not good.

eann · Mar 22 2009, 07:39 AM

What can I say? I just washed my hands and can't do a thing with them.

P'ter · Mar 22 2009, 11:28 AM

That was Pilate's excuse.

eann · Mar 23 2009, 02:27 AM

Pilates? The, like, awesome exercise mogul from California? I thought Pilates could make any part of your body do, like, anything! (I wouldn't know. I haven't tried)

Lanen · Mar 26 2009, 07:54 AM

Nah, eann, he's thinking of Pilot, who started out life as a dog in Jane Eyre and was good as a navigator but was, like, OCD about washing his hands, and so mean to that lovely Mexican guy - you know, Juan or Esteban or whatever his name was.

P'ter · Mar 26 2009, 08:00 AM

M-e-e-o-w-!

eann · Mar 26 2009, 05:16 PM

Oh well, sounds like the guy needed to, you know, chill, and like, streetch. . .he was probably mean because like, his chakras were all gummed up or something.

***Hans*** · Mar 26 2009, 05:40 PM

This discussion brought back that age old turistic saying...

Mexico and not washing hands
Will get you Montezuma's revenge

P'ter · Mar 26 2009, 08:15 PM

.. also known as Delhi Belly.

The only time I've suffered it was on Skye (I trusted somebody to fill my waterbottle and he didn't put the purifying tablet in!)
