Baubles Bangles And Beads
Axel Stordahl and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baubles, bangles, bright shiny beads
Sparkles, spangles, your heart will sing, singa-linga
Wearin' baubles, bangles and beads
She glitter and gleam so
Make somebody dream so
That some day I may buy her a ring, ringa-linga
Wearin' baubles, bangles, and beads
She should glitter and gleam so
Make somebody dream so
That some day, some day I may buy her a ring, ringa-linga
I have heard that's where it leads
Wearin' baubles, bangles, and beads
All those noisy bangles, and beads
The song "Baubles Bangles and Beads" is a classic song from the musical "Kismet". This song was written by Robert Wright and George Forrest, who adapted music from Alexander Borodin's Second String Quartet to write the score for the musical. The song is sung by a male narrator who describes a woman adorned in baubles, bangles, and beads. He is enamored by her beauty as the jewelry she wears amplifies her radiance. He hopes to one day be able to buy her a ring, and thus, win her affections. The use of onomatopoeia in the lyrics echoes the sound of the jewelry as it jingles and makes noise in the singer's presence. The repetitive use of "jinga-linga" and "singa-linga" emphasizes the allure and attraction of the jewelry on the woman.

The irony behind how this is calming me would worry me if I weren't imagining 60s love scenes and movies.

My Mini Review: The outer reaches of exotica. "Moonlight on the Ganges" ! Concise and soothing tracks. A+! - The name, Stordahl, is vaguely familiar to me, not sure why..... Cool stereo. Interesting use of flutes and other reeds. Love the gongs. Gets serious with "Lotus Land" (which, however, ends rather abruptly.....) Martin Denny recorded "On A Little Street"...... "Moon of M" is by major film score composer (THE ROBE) Alfred Newman.

Is it true that this was ripped without crediting audio-to- video creator? This is what I understand from a friend who has been considerably discouraged from further contributions.

This one it’s way dope I any body know other with that Arabian duney Tune vibe let me know exactly the samples I was cuz as a drummer I’ve noticed they make dope hip hop. Even to I can turn almost anything into hip hop some just work out better that other any Arabian wound be my tip for all u other beat makers. Most like funk soul or jazz from first but I go for orchestral triditional. Japanese, Mexican, Arabian, but all the lovey romance ones are flooded everywhere and rather not. 🤘🏾
