  • The Ironic Musical Edge: Using Songs to Present and Question Myths Ost
    2016, Vol. 13 (1), 99-110(167) Jason Blake revije.ff.uni-lj.si/elope University of Ljubljana, Slovenia doi: 10.4312/elope.13.1.99-110 UDC: 784.66:[82:37.091.3] The Ironic Musical Edge: Using Songs to Present and Question Myths Abstract Professors never have enough time to cover everything they would like to teach. If the temptation in literature survey courses is to whittle the reading list down to a few canonical texts, the temptation in culture courses is to reduce “American Culture” or “Canadian Culture” to facts and figures, important dates in history, and so on. This paper argues that ironic songs can efficiently introduce important information about a country’s myths and sense of self, while simultaneously questioning those myths. After a discussion of syllabus agonies of choice, the paper discusses irony, then irony in music, before finishing with an examination of The Arrogant Worm’s comic song “Canada’s Really Big.” Keywords: Arrogant Worms; culture course; irony, irony in music, culture and society courses Ost ironije v glasbi: Uporaba pesmi pri obravnavi in vrednotenju mitov Povzetek Profesorji nimajo nikoli na voljo dovolj časa, da bi lahko svojim študentom temeljito predstavili vse o snovi, ki jo poučujejo. Če je skušnjava pri književnem predmetu zmanjšati obseg literature na nekaj kanoničnih besedil, je skušnjava pri predmetu o družbi in kulturi zmanjšati obseg ameriške ali kanadske kulture na nekaj dejstev in podatkov, pomembnih datumov iz zgodovine itd. Ta prispevek govori o tem, kako lahko z obravnavo ironične pesmi študentom učinkovito predstavimo pomembne informacije v zvezi z miti in identiteto neke dežele ter hkrati te mite postavimo pod vprašaj.

  • Arrogant Worms to Tour UK Submitted By: Pat Tynan Media Tuesday, 25 April 2006
    Arrogant Worms To Tour UK Submitted by: Pat Tynan Media Tuesday, 25 April 2006 From Canada: The Arrogant Worms www.arrogant-worms.com Chris Patterson|Trevor Strong|Mike McCormick New CD: Beige. Release Date Mon, 22 May. Tour starts "You can certainly tell people I recommend the Worms ; I've worked with them many times and it's always been wonderful." Les Barker (www.mrsackroyd.com) The Arrogant Worms (http://www.arrogant-worms.com) began their journey to musical comedy success in 1991 in Kingston, Ontario via college radio. Those nine listeners were very impressed and The Worms could have retired at the top of their game but they kept going into the frightening world of live shows. They were quickly abandoned by the nine radio listeners who preferred not to leave their homes. A new audience was cultivated and the meagre income from those early shows was enough to record their self titled debut album in 1992. The Arrogant Worms received airplay on national radio in Canada and were soon touring across their vast homeland. The Worms have since released nine more independent albums - Russell’s Shorts, C’est Cheese, Live Bait, Christmas Turkey, Dirt, Idiot Road, Toast and now, Beige. They have consistently topped the sales charts for their distributors selling thousands of albums in the process. Recognizing this valuable Canadian resource, American label Oglio Records released Gift Wrapped, a ‘best of’ collection in 2002. The Arrogant Worms (http://www.arrogant-worms.com) released a DVD of their concert with the renowned Edmonton Symphony Orchestra which was broadcast as a national television special.
