Product details
Fast Ride in a Suave Machine is a play on a well-known tune. Sometimes, when we re-visit rhymes that we knew as children, it is a curious revelation to understand the true and gruesome nature of the text. Examples of this are Ring-a-Ring-a-Rosie which had its origins in the era of the Black Plague or Rock-a-bye-Baby, where the baby falls 'cradle and all'.
Whilst singing 'Three Blind Mice' to my children one day, the
grisly nature of the text suddenly became apparent. Hence, the
music is fast paced and 'fun' in nature yet it also alludes to
the dark side of the text... I imagine the farmers wife, chasing
mice around her kitchen with a large butchers knife!
