词条 | On the Ning Nang Nong |
释义 |
This nonsense verse, set to music,[3] became popular in Australia where it was performed weekly on the ABC children's programme Play School; however, it is now only shown on occasion. In December 2007 it was reported that, according to OFSTED, it is among the ten most commonly taught poems in primary schools in the UK.[4] It features on the albums No One's Gonna Change Our World, There's A Bear In There and Play School Favourites, and on the 'B' side of Milligan's own "Badjelly the Witch". PoemThe 18-line poem opens with: On the Ning Nang Nong Where the cows go Bong! Several subsequent lines also use the phrase "Nong Nang Ning" or "Nong Ning Nang" (but never "Ning Nong Nang", "Nang Ning Nong" or "Nang Nong Ning"). The poem ends with the climax "Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!" Various animals, plants and created objects "say" or, more often, "go" various sounds (capitalization in the original): cows go "Bong!", monkeys say "Boo!", trees go "Ping!", tea pots "Jibber-Jabber Joo", mice go "Clang!". Some do this more than once in the poem. The poem's rhyme scheme is AABCCBDDBAACCDDAA. A musical version appears in the 1975 British sex farce Confessions of a Pop Performer.
