Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

J.T. has had a great run with his discussion of "KNIVES IN CINEMA AND TELEVISION"...
How about Knives in music ?...
We all know "Mack the Knife" and "Cuts like a Knife", how about any others that have knives in the song?
The more obscure the better...

Armstrong did my favorite rendition.

"Nothung" from Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen

More Info:
In Norse mythology, Gram (Old Norse "wrath"[1]) is the name of the sword that Sigurd (Siegfried) used to kill the dragon Fafnir. It was forged by Wayland the Smith and originally belonged to his father, Sigmund, who received it in the hall of the Volsung after pulling it out of the tree Barnstokk into which Odin had stuck it, no-one else could pull it out. The sword was destroyed and reforged at least once. After it was reforged, it could cleave an anvil in twain.

In the Nibelungenlied, Siegfried's sword is called Balmung; in Richard Wagner's Ring Cycle, it is called Nothung.
!! .. Nice Dave Nice .. !!
There is one famous song about two griminals who used puukko knives in 19th century at Kauhava area in Finland.
Everyone in Finland knows it and mothers even sing it to babies.


Antti of Big house on left and Rannanjärvi on right.

It goes something like this:

Antti of the Big house and Rannanjärvi were talking alone:
You kill the ugly ruler of Kauhava and I will marry his widow.
First they broke stairs and only after that the wall.
Big Antti was walking in front because he was the biggest one of the gang.
"Then is a devil" said Rannanjärvi "if I am afraid of a man."
By a tree trunk you hit them to the nose and by steel by their back!"
The blood from Vaasa aren´t quivering and the steel from Kauhava isn´t getting rotten.
Catch him by the neck and hit at the back by a knife if he does not agree otherwise.
"Jump, jump, jump" said Rannanjärvi when he made his horse dance.
Once again has the mischievous son left his poor home.
One is not allowed to sing about Rannajärvi. Rannanjärvi is dead.
To the grave of Rannanjärvi a marmor stone has been brought.

In Finnish it goes like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8VWRoQEfPM
jj if a whittler whittled a little fittel would that fittel play a little?

Only if you wittle a little bow.

 

What about that Cajun song "How come my dog don't bark when you come around"?

and Mack the knife

Hozier "Take Me to Church":  

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

NICE DLKG!!
