Next week I ’ll be write about some of the worst hold euphony I ’ve ever had to sit through . In explore the post , I discovered that in the U.K. , Greensleeves is the most loathed hold euphony strain . This throw signified , as the birdcall originates in their neck of the woods . No one cognise who indite the song , but many think it was compose by King Henry VIII for his lover and future queen consort Anne Boleyn . This is doubtful , however , since the style in which the song was composed was n’t popular until after Henry VIII ’s death . The lyric , which were already popular around Shakespeare ’s prison term ( he references them inThe Merry Wives of Windsor ) have been the subject of much intellectual discourse and debate . Here ’s a sample before I secernate you about the debate :
Greensleeves was all my joyGreensleeves was my pleasure , Greensleeves was my philia of amber , And who but my peeress greensleeves .
Your vows you ’ve break off , like my heart , Oh , why did you so enrapture me?Now I remain in a world apartBut my heart remains in captivity .
Scholars have long call into question the meaning of these words . According to Wiki ( What ? That ’s scholarly , no?)“One potential interpretation of the words is that Lady Green Sleeves was a promiscuous young woman and perhaps a cocotte . At the time , the word " green " had sexual connotations , most notably in the set phrase " a green nightdress " , a reference to the way that skunk grease might be seen on a lady ’s apparel if she had made love outside .
Whatever you think the Word mean , there ’s no deny the tune ’s stay ability and earworm gene . ( Yeah , it go to 11 in my book . ) Here , then , are nine sport that show how ubiquitous the song is , and , if nothing else , will have you humming it to yourself all day long ( sorry ! ) .
