I think Andy Sutton's poem works perfectly as the words sung to a great Scottish tune.
So here is the tune played by Thoren Ferguson on the Patrick Matthew Violin
Now sing the words of the Patrick Matthew Poem to that tune. Am I right?
The Patrick Matthew Violin Song
So we now have The Patrick Matthew Song and The Patrick Matthew Violin Song.
I have now changed the words to two old songs. These re-imagined songs are to be played on the Patrick Matthew and Charles Darwin Violins at grass roots events when the instruments are taken on tour next year.
The Charles Darwin Song (AKA Darwin the Kidnapper) (To be played on The Charles Darwin Violin) https://patrickmatthew.com/the-charles-darwin-violin.html
(Played to the old 1930 Lonnie Johnson blues tune of "No More Troubles" https://youtu.be/dtPFtyaAdq4?list=RDEMxw3802iyRsFp4OhNHoeQ4A
Found a sweet theory, buried out of time.
You know I'm happy now, happy as I can be.
Boy, I b'lieve to my soul, its done put that thing on me.
Gimme your good ideas, to steal for this song.
I'm goin' to have my fun until I'm dead an' gone.
'Cause I'm happy now, an' I can't go wrong.
'Cause I got plenty money, I'm gon' carry this good work on.
I used to be like a dog, I was tied to a tree.
Now I got plenty ideas and Matthew's theory.
You know I'm happy now, happy as I can be.
If I die tomorrow, the world don't owe a thing to me.
I used to cry over my stealin', I was dumb as I could be.
Now I've got three books out, brought those new thrills to me.
I'm happy now, I'm happy now.
There's nothin' like a stolen song 'bout a stolen theory.
I got me two, three books written, sweet as can be.
I put that thing on them, and got a written guarantee.
That I can't go wrong, I mean I can't go wrong.
Nothin' like plenty money, good theories, lies, and song.
I got plenty fame by plag-risin, ev'ry day of the week.
All I do is walk around, eat, steal an' sleep.
You know I'm happy now, you know I can't go wrong.
'Cause I took plenty fools, Matthew’s theory and this song.
The Patrick Matthew Song (not to be confused with The Patrick Matthew Violin Song)
This song is to accompanied by The Patrick Matthew Violin (made by the master violin maker Steve Burnett) https://patrickmatthew.com/the-patrick-matthew-violin.html
Performances of the Scottish heritage instrument will be by leading soloists and by players at grass roots levels upwards.
"You Who Lie With Darwin" (AKA "The Patrick Matthew Song" In the tune of "Scots Wha Hae") To be played on The Patrick Matthew Violin
You who lie with Darwin dead,
Who Alfred Wallace astray led,
Welcome to your muddled head,
Theory thievery.
Yesterday's the day, not now the hour,
See the face of Darwin dour,
See approach old Linnean power,
Lies and plagiary.
You are just a fraudster's knave!
You will fill a dullard's grave!
Nothing but a liar's slave!
Full of credulity.
It's Patrick Matthew's Natural law,
Facts and empirical data draw,
Truth not Darwin's spin of yore!
Why not follow me?
Darwin lied and Darwin stole!
Alfred Wallace's same role!
BigData down their rabbit hole,
Found dysology!
Lay the theory stealers low!
Myths fall, facts their foe!
Matthew's words in every blow!
It's Scotland's theory!!!
The Charles Darwin Violin and the Charles Darwin Violin Song
Andy Sutton's Charles Darwin Violin poem would make an excellent song sung to what most people know as the tune of Yankee Doodle.
The original tune was written for the violin and is an incredible piece of classical music - just as Darwin's beautifully composed and performed science fraud by plagiary and lies is an incredible piece of complex artistic science fraud.
Souvenir d'Amerique: "Yankee Doodle" by Vieuxtemps, Henri (1843)
