The Streets of Cairo or the Poor Little Country Maid
Featured on the Dr. Demento Show
Also known as the "snake charmer" song. This melody has been borrowed in numerous songs and soundtracks for over 100 years! You'll notice that the main theme has been used in "Istanbul (not Constantinople)" (They Might Be Giants), "King Tut" (Steve Martin), and "Take It Off" (Ke$ha). Well, this is the Samuel Stokes recording of the original song by Sol Bloom and James Thornton.

Here We Come A-Wassailing (The American Edition)
Americans sing a lot of traditional carols from Britain, without actually knowing what several of the terms such as "wassailing" or "figgy pudding" actually mean. Hopefully this song will clear that up a little bit.

O Christmas Tree (This Song Has Many Versions)
Does anyone know the words to this song? I have five or six books of Christmas songs with different lyrics, probably because it is a translation of the German "O Tannenbaum." This is my tribute to the most confusing Christmas carol of all time.

Old Man of Peru
This is a musical setting of the limerick "Old Man of Peru" (who dreamt he was eating his shoe).

The QWERTY Rag
