Luxor4u

It has been years since I heard this song by Danish/Dutch duo Nina & Frederik, it is still as hilarious as ever:




:nc:

Egypt is going to adopt John Denvers song Leaving on a jet plane as its new national anthem.

If I remember correctly either Nina or Fredrick was related to Danish Royalty, my recollections of them was of course, "Puff"

I believe it was Frederik van Pallandt that was a Baron, Nina becoming Baroness when they married.

By "Puff" do you mean Puff the Magic Dragon? Wasn't it Peter, Paul and Mary that brought this song to our attention! I don't recall hearing Nina and Frederik singing it, but I suppose it is possible.

Thanks Bennu - I've just had a journey down memory lane and found other performances of theirs, and also of Nina's as a soloist. What a beautiful women - I thought so when, as a child, I first saw her on TV and looking back I still think she was/is?

I think the most famous song of theirs for me will always be Little Donkey - which unsurprisingly became one of my own party pieces!

Very Good Bennu..
I liked the portrayal of the Englishman in that song..

Also, an apt choice.... It has been snowing since Thursday night, and I am stranded in my house...
so, in good old Bullet Magnet style, I have spent the last 18 hours in bed...
The Good lady wife managed to get to Dublin via Liverpool, just before the second burst of snow hit.
All ther nighbours are clearing their driveways, despite the fact they are going nowhere, and also performed the same task yesterday.. Muppets...

I'm going for a bath, a cuppa, and then back into hibernation.... ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Thank you! That was my whole point of posting it - with what you hear about English men here in Luxor, I did consider putting it in "Intercultural Relations"...

To be fair, that song was like 3 generations ago Bennu.

I think you will find the Englishman has somewhat cast off his Victorian Values regarding the fairer sex...

We continually bemoan the fact that these heavy snowfalls put a stop to our lives but we never give a thought to the poor livestock that become entombed beneath these monstrous drifts. I enjoy having a couple of frozen joints of lamb in the freezer but would not be happy finding them beneath the hedge rows after the thaw. A farmers lot is not a happy one at times.
