...more conviction than most of his folk-styled competition. The numbers include On the 18th Day of November, The Captains and the Kings, I Am a Happy English Lad, rendered in a wildly improbable parody of an Oxford accent. Some of Behan's barroom sweepings are fresh as newsprint:I cried to Mr. Khrushchev, Please grant me this great boon: Don't muck about, don't muck about, Don't muck about with the moon...
