Allan Kelly - Glou Glou Glou



Before the song the emcee, Ken Homer, notes that a few years ago Mr. Kelly sang this song which has to do with elbow bending and bottles and the sounds they make when drained glou, glou, glou which is the song s title.

Homer also says that since then a number of people have asked to hear the song again. This song is sung a cappella. The refrain seems to consist entirely of vocables and the rest of the song is in French. During the refrain Kelly taps his feet rhythmically. This song appears elsewhere in the Manny collection as (017-02) and (114-04). This is a French song about drinking ( glou glou glou is the sound of the bottle s contents being gulped down)

102-10
