Hey, it is "Limeliters," Dave. That is the way the albums read. The "Intro" they used for "Maderia" went something like this. (By Gottlieb in an affected Professorial voice.)
"We will now sing an old English Madrigal. It celebrates the peculiar qualities of a certain nauseous sweet Wine. It could be considered a song of seduction, (eh,eh,eh,) or, more properly, a love song. It opens with a waltz-like passage in E-Minor, which is, well nigh seductive, to those of us with a history of Flamingo rejection." (Hey, I used to do this in a Piano Bar!)
Here is another Irish song they did a hell of a job on.
Molly Malone
Irish Folksong
1. In Dublin's fair city,
Where girls are so pretty,
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone,
As she pushed her wheelbarrow
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!
Chorus:
Alive, alive oh! alive, alive oh!
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!
2. Now she was a fishmonger,
And sure twas no wonder,
For so were her mother and father before,
And they each wheeled their barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!
Chorus:
3. She died of a fever,
And no one could save her,
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone.
Now her ghost wheels her barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!
Chorus:
