Hi?

Mulcahy Music Monday

In "Your Hit Parade" (s06e18) Potter: "Ah, "May the Good Lord Bless and Keep You. " They're playing your song, Father." Mulcahy: "Well, actually, I requested 'Tico, Tico'. But this is very nice too."

"The song “Tico-Tico,” an enduring international hit, passed the century mark two years ago; it was composed in 1917 by Zequinha de Abreu, a Portuguese émigré to Brazil." Ethel Smith played "Tico-Tico" on the Hammond organ in the 1944 film Bathing Beauty (which I like to think may have been what Mulcahy was thinking of).

But he could also have been thinking of the 1947 Marx Brothers movie Copacabana, the “Brazilian Bombshell” Carmen Miranda sang it opposite Groucho Marx.

"But in Brazilian music, which does not exile pop forms from classical traditions, “Tico-Tico” is actually a choro — a song form that typically shrugs off misfortune with good humor, good tunes and fast tempos. The title refers to a bird that got into the cornmeal, but we can imagine the same kind of grousing over morning coffee at the office. “Tico-Tico”’s catchy, emphatically syncopated rhythm is irresistible, and still lends itself to virtuosic arrangements for every conceivable solo instrument and ensemble, from finger-tangling guitar transcriptions to full-on symphonic arrangements. As with Viennese waltzes, the critical challenge is to capture that elusive rhythm with orchestral precision." Berlin Philharmonic

Also, just for Charles Emerson Winchester III: "Theo Degler (accordion) and Robert Frank (piano) play their version of Zequinha de Abreu's famous piece 'Tico-Tico no Fubá'.

We so seldom hear about Father Mulcahy's actual preferences on music - the nearest we have other than "Tico-Tico" is the Korean war song he composed in "Dear Uncle Abul" (s08e12)

Heal Thyself (s8 e17): When Potter and Charles are quarantined with the mumps, a replacement surgeon fills in for them, but he starts to crack under the pressure.

Dear Uncle Abdul (s8 e12): Resigned to staying for his term of service, Klinger writes home about his job, which includes appeasing the officers' eccentricities.
