We're beating this dead horse half to death.

Like this?

[USG '60]

More or less like that, but where's the horse blood. I need me some horse blood in my half-dead horse pictures.

Be that as it may...

[USG '60]

What is the line, "Hark, hark the lark" from? I need to know for some odd reason.

[Lauri101]

Naughty but nice...

Hark Hark the Lark

Hark, hark! the lark at heaven's gate sings
Meaning

In Shakespeare's Cymbeline, Cloten uses lewd language to talk about Cymbeline. In an attempt to use musicians to court her, he calls on them to play 'a wonderful sweet air'. The hark, hark!... line is chosen to represent sweetness and refinement, as a counterpoint to the previous crudities.

Origin

From Shakespeare's Cymbeline, 1611:

CLOTEN: I would this music would come: I am advised to give
her music o' mornings; they say it will penetrate.

[Enter Musicians]

Come on; tune: if you can penetrate her with your
fingering, so; we'll try with tongue too: if none
will do, let her remain; but I'll never give o'er.
First, a very excellent good-conceited thing;
after, a wonderful sweet air, with admirable rich
words to it: and then let her consider.

[Song]

Hark, hark! the lark at heaven's gate sings,
And Phoebus 'gins arise,
His steeds to water at those springs
On chaliced flowers that lies;
And winking Mary-buds begin
To ope their golden eyes:
With every thing that pretty is,
My lady sweet, arise:
Arise, arise.

etc, etc...

WHOA. THAT was great. Ask a silly question on a silly thread and get a bonified, legitimate answer. Too good.

Next question then: Was dum de dum dum written for Dragnet or was it from a previous, perhaps classical. piece of music? One HAS to wonder, ya know.

I like the new avatar usg.

Reminds me of another version

Were if's and but's candies and nuts, what a Christmas it would be,
and if all the frogs had 45's, the snakes would hide in trees.

I think I'm just going to spam this whole thread...

[USG '60]

A hijack of THIS thread (?), THAT'S an interesting concept.

SPAM is just MAPS backward. How ironic.

And Ashtray is just pig (dog?) latin for Trash. Life is interesting if you pay attention to the really important details like THAT. Now... give me a hand.

I said A hand, not four. Calm down, everyone.

I'd say "bonified" is an appropriate adjective for the Shakespearian verse quoted.

Few people realize it, but old Bill S. was quite a lewd fellow. Sometimes he's not as graphic, so you have to go deeper for the meaning.

And for your other question, from Wikipedia:

"Dragnet" is an instrumental theme from the radio and television show of the same name. It was composed by Walter Schumann for the radio show, and was also used on the subsequent television series and later syndication of the TV series under the name "Badge 714." The theme is in two parts -- an opening signature "Main Title" (the ominous "Dum - - - de - DUM - DUM") and the "Dragnet March" used over the end credits.

A 1953 recording by the Ray Anthony band that combined the "Main Title" and "Dragnet March" became a popular music chart hit (reaching #2 on the Billboard chart).
