Does your chewing gum lose its flavour on the bedpost overnight?

[Mr Pee]

why did they?!

i am pretty surprised, actually, that this tune hasn't turned up on Sky arts more often.

Thank you for your concern, but I can reassure you all that I was not even in mild discomfort, never mind agony. As to the link, I am awaiting a new sound card for my computer, so am unable to listen. However, I think you are missing the point of the original question, where Floozie did not just quote the song title, but specifically asked "Well, does it?"

As to whether Sky Arts have ever featured this toon, they may well have done, the two Arts channels between them covering a vast range of musical genres. I have not caught it myself. Too much Classical Music and Opera on Sky Arts 2 to keep me occupied.

I think the original German text by Heinrich Heine was set by Schubert as D666b, "Verliert dein Kaugummi seinen Geschmack am Bettpfosten über Nacht?" It was included in the Spirit of Schubert but at one of the few times I wasn't actually listening.

I'm pretty sure they recently featured a complete performance of Die schoene Kaugummi, with the haunting finale to 'Die Bettpost':

In der Fruehe kommt kein Glueck,
Nur Sehnsucht an ein frisches Stueck.

EDIT: I believe this is Deutsch ANH: 973k

Geschmack eh? I'm never eating it again!

That was in response to Gurnemanz, but will do equally well for kernelbogey (referring to post 19 - S_A managed to slip one in before me.)

You will also have missed D666c: 'Mein Vater war ein Staubmann'.

If I were to chew it in bed, I can't think of anything more disgusting than sticking it on the bedpost.

I can!

I think that was the only skiffle item in the repertoire of Dame Elisabeth Schwarzkopf.

Does wine lose its flavour in the glass overnight?

If I eat curry and chips at 01:00 hours, do I deserve to suffer later on?

[Pabmusic]

This was almost my first record, in fact it may have been my second. The first was "Tom Dooley" by the Kingston Trio. Such nostalgia!

Of course, I downloaded both (regularly) using that unusually-shaped-button-thing* on the spindle.

No idea- we don't do such things south of Watford Gap.

Funny you should mention curry, Lonnie's guitarist and co-writer was Jimmy Currie who wrote the Tom Jones hit 'I'll never fall in love again'. 'Does your Chewing gum... ', however, was a 20s song by The Two Gilberts written by Billy Rose, Marty Bloom and Ernest Breuer, with the original title 'Does the Spearmint lose its flavour' .
