8.12 "Dear Uncle Abdul"

as time goes by

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)

Zugzwang. It's a chess term. It describes the point in a game when a player realises he'll inevitably be checkmated. He has to decide whether to resign, or play through the bitter end.
