AN EPIC HAS TO BE LONGER THAN 15????? OK SO LETS DONīT CONSIDER AS EPICS SONGS LIKE STARLESS, HEART OF A SUNRISE, EPITAPH, NATURAL SCIENCE!

WHO DEFINES AN EPIC? CERTENLY NOT YOU!

ITīS THE MUSIC NOT THE LENGTH....

For me it's gotta be... Cygnus X-I Book II.  Haven't heard Jacob's Ladder in a while, must dig that one out again.

My heart tells me Xanadu but my mind tells me Cyguns X I so I will have to vote for Hemispheres Book II.   You know, just for balance.

Natural Science....!

The wonderful Xanadu - great music and a neat little twist on Coleridge's fantastic Kubla Khan poem. I would put La Villa Strangiato next  - one the best instrumentals ever!

Doen jullie iets wat wij niet durven,
ja want wij zijn echte smurfen.
Dit is een lied met een leuk refrein,
jullie zijn groot en wij zijn klein.

de fluitsmurf begint!
Tuut, tuut, tutututu, tuut, tuut, etc.
Ja zing maar na!
La, la, lalalala, la, ...
En nu de tweede stem!
La, la, lalalala, la, ...
En nu allemaal!
la, la, lalalala, la, ...

Kunnen jullie door een waterkraan?
Wij kunnen door een waterkraan!
En ook door een sleutelgat?
Ja, ook door een sleutelgat!
Kunnen jullie op een blokfluit spelen!
Ja, daar kunnen wij ook op spelen!
Vinden smurfen dansen fijn?
Ja, maar alleen op dit refrein!

La, la, lalalala, la,...
- He, wie is daar verkeerd aan het smurfen!
- He, zing eens netjes mee! Yes, Sir!

Waarom zijn de smurfen klein?
Omdat jullie groter zijn!
Gaan jullie met die muts naar bed?
Ja, die wordt niet afgezet!
Gaan jullie net als wij ook slapen?
Nee, wij moeten driemaal gapen!
Wat is jullie grootste wens?
Smurfen maar dat snapt geen mens!

La, la, lalalala, la, ...
(original lyrics by Vader Abraham (Pierre Cartner)

Ken je ook:

Bier, bier, Smurfenbier.

Je wordt er niet dronken van, je hebt plezier?

(De opvolger van het Smurfenlied)
