Kum By Yah my lord...

[jaybee82]

To the little mob that were belting out Kum By Yah really late last night outside Budgens on the Lane...

...I found it both inspirational and moving and wished more people would do it.

Thats all.

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Wished I had been there to join in...

[dulwichmum]

Oh dear. You two need to get out more!

[jaybee82]

I do DM, to see stuff like this!

Its definitely my favourite of all the religious ditties.

[Brendan]

I?ve always wondered what the hell it actually means.

[jaybee82]

I think it roughly translates to 'Buy one get one free on Pampers at Budgens...my lord'

[Brendan]

Is it brand specific or does it apply broadly to all types of swaddling clothes?

[Jah Lush]

Goodd grief! Is it bob-a-job week then?

I think this supports my posts on the thread about most played songs in public places.

I rest my case. :)

[jaybee82]

Its a song for every occasion as no one has a clue what it means. They knew all the verses (someone's singing/laughing...my lord) but added a few of their own (someone's felching?!) to give it a modern slant.

I hate to disillusion you JB but this is actually a viral marketing campaign for a soon to be released adult entertainment flick.

Honestly is nothing sacred?

Hmmm.... As the good Monty Python once sang.

Every sperm is sacred.

Every sperm is great.

If a sperm is wasted,

God gets quite irate.

Well they're clever, I'll give them that. A crafty underworld gang cleverly masquerading as religious folk and employing subliminal messaging for their own sordid needs?

Disgraceful!

[bigbadwolf]

In Southpark the town sing Kum By Yah whilst Wal-Mart burns. Perhaps this is more than a premonition of Budgens future in east Dulwich.

Louisa, can you tell us where you were between the hours of 21.00 to 2.00 a.m the following morning and any possible movements during that time?

[jaybee82]

Kum by ya in public places eh?

Agreed Louisiana, its more than a coincidence. Someone is definitely hiding something...

[louisiana]

Did they have a gee-tar? You can't really do a propa rendition without one...

[Moos]

Does it perhaps mean 'come by here'? As in, please grace us with your presence?

[SteveT]

You are a clever soul Moos, I would never have solved it in yonks, and a yonk is a loooooooong time.

Well Millwall Fans have been known to sing it to opposing fans and, in that instance, I'm pretty sure its an invitation for them to grace us (the Home Fans) with their presence at The Cold Blow Lane (Home) End so could well be...

Reminds me of school assembly.

Kum By Yah, Blowing in the Wind, Morning has Broken

Really, are there no standards left. Songs about farting in a school assembly.

I sang it in a talent contest once. It was so touching, the audience were in tears.
