    YOU NEED FEET
    Parody of "You Need Hands"

    Bernard Bresslaw - around 1959

    Also recorded (with slightly altered lyrics) by:
    The Rutles; The Beach Boys.


    You need feet
    to stand up straight with,
    You need feet
    to kick your friends,
    You need feet
    to keep your socks up,
    And stop your legs from
    fraying at the ends.

    (Spoken monologue)

    You need feet
    to walk to S****horpe,
    Or to dance
    the hoochy-coo,
    Yes the whole world needs
    feet for something,
    And I need feet
    to run away from you.


    ANOTHER VERSION

    You need feet to stand up straight with,
    You need feet to kick your friends.
    You need feet to keep your socks on,
    and to keep your legs from fraying at the ends.

    You need feet to stand on tippy-toe,
    You need feet to dance the hoochy-coo.
    You need feet to walk around with,
    and I need feet to run away from you.

    On the topic of music and feet , I am grateful to my frient Eric Lee for alerting me to a new CD which celebrates Old London Town Cries

    E.G.V. Runting back in the 1930s used to write essays published in the Chiropodist under "Jottings From an Old Chiro". I one particular copy he mentions being intvited to attent a concert to hear a piece of music by Orlando Gibbons (1583 - 1625). His Cryes of London, was written for five voices and five viols, and makes use of the street cries of hawkers and vendors in London in his time. One was for a corn-cutter. Gibbons went on from latter day jingles to become a gentleman of the Chapel Royal, which he served as an organist and to which he later added the position of organist at Westminster Abbey. He wrote music for the Church of England, madrigals, consort music and keyboard works.

    The CD is entitled "The Cries of London" by Theatre of Voices and Fretwork and is on the Harmonica Mundi label. The two pieces which contain the cries are:

    Street Cries I & II by Orlando Gibbons

    The City Cries by Richard Derring

    Some of the cries employed by the various artisans are pretty raucous and crude, but a wonderful piece of social history set to the music of the time.

    Here is a review of the works
