"Ugly Clothes"

[edit]

I don't understand the Ugly Clothes one or the other examples. I do understand the "particularly lewd one", but that obvious when sung only by a single voice. Banaticus (talk) 02:38, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We'll yeah. I am no native speaker so for me it is quite hard to understand as well. In my mind, they are singing "Men's joy for the generosity of Michigan"... Is it right? Or wrong? What was intended?--88.71.198.107 (talk) 09:31, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I hear it as "[something] Men's Glee Club, University of Michigan". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.141.8.152 (talk) 22:15, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'd got as far as hearing "We powaawaawee clothes, City of Michigan (inexplicable applause)", until I read your comment, which brought the quieter words to my attention. I'm going to edit the article to say what the example is supposed to resolve into, since 1. not every reader is able to listen to an audio file and 2. this style of singing clearly doesn't work very well and demands a certain amount of skill from the audience.  Card Zero  (talk) 12:08, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Catch on midnight cats"

[edit]

I had to change the link for the "Catch on midnight cats" performance to a video on youtube since the original page (....multivocal.htm) now redirects to a more general page on my redesigned site If anyone wishes to discuss this with me feel free to contact me Dwsolo (talk) 21:20, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

History

[edit]

I have recently started introducing historical material to the page, though not previously a regular editor. Much of this is based on The Aldrich Book of Catches (cited on the Round page) of which I am joint editor. I hope all this stuff turns out to be acceptable .CatchClub 12:37, 27 March 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by CatchClub (talkcontribs)
