Bullied by Beethoven (Song):
|
It wasn't my fault that I couldn't sing
Or play the piano and the violin
I couldn't tell a crotchet from a semi-breve
And an oboe was somewhat of a mystery.
They probed for talent but I was bereft
Sadly the lord had left me tone deaf
Reduced to tears by his violent volition,
I was thrashed to the beat of a German musician.
I was bullied by Beethoven,
Because I couldn't sing.
I was bullied by Beethoven…
Bullied by Beethoven…

Ball, Fatter Hippier was a more slick, streamlined and coherent
comedy revue than n o f u l l s t o p
s had been. Although still building mainly on the traditional
sketch form, the boundaries between performers and characters portrayed
became increasingly blurred throughout, as the inter-relationships
of the performers increasingly get in the way of the "show" proper.
Making interesting use of stage sound and lighting, and including
several memorable songs, Fatter Hippier was a huge success at York
University before being performed at Filbert Street, Leicester to
an audience of nearly 400.
