Bawdy Ballads

Author: Alex Morgan

Welcome all you wonderful people, and thank you so much for checking out Bawdy Ballads, where we will explore all the dirty, sassy, and usually surprising old popular songs, and when I say old I mean old. Four hundred years old old. And along the way well explore all those things that make life a bit more interesting. Theres trickery infidelity, loving, drinking, and fighting. While we dig deep in these songs, well talk about all kinds of things: archetypes, history, folklore, and how so many of these songs hold vast potential for inspiration of new creations.

We are finally getting to one of the ballad types and topics that made me realize how much potential lay in these old songs…. Monstrous births. Or, to be clear, that's how they were marketed at the time. They were actually an overall mix of true accounts of birth defects and used the idea of deformity as a direct metaphor. Either which way it went, one thing remained the same. The mother was almost always to blame in some way or another.Prides's FallThe two inseparable brothers.Infant Mortality RatesThe Jersey Devil Colloredo Twins Succession to the Crown Act FreaksNIH: Pregnancy test timelineThe Encyclopedia of Superstitions by Richard WebsterThe Odd Superstition Behind BirthmarksMedieval disability glossary. Support the show
