Music in Duckburg

[Anders Christian Sivebaek]

Hi friends!

As said, my coming column for the school magazine will be about Music
in Duckburg. 
For fun and possible additions from you people here, I'll tell you
which stories I have in mind so far. 
First of all I remember some stories by Barks where Donald wants the
kids to learn to play. 
There's one where he makes some set-up so they only pretend to play
when Grandma watches. 
Another story shows how HDL wants their Uncle to be a famous singer. 
We all know the old classic with the schlager, Oh burry my tar with my
battered Gi'Tar... 
In the very last 10-pager by Barks, we hear Donald reciting lines from
that song about the albatros. I was really laughing myself to dead when

I first read that story. It's really insane - Donald is completely
crazy from 
being tired! 
Additions are welcome, I might have forgotten some Barks-stories.

Something tells me it will be the longest column I write so far, 
since I am thinking about mentioning these Rosa-stories with notes 
or singing. We have: 

Once and Future Ducks (Myrdin sings some very ugly notes at a time)

Black Knight - the chevalier noir goes around humming little pieces of
classics all the time. I would really like to know where they come from

The Triple Distlefink - The cab is stuck to a lorry with a chauffeur
who plays Wagner so that you can't hear what you're thinking!

Quest for Kalevala - the music of the Kantele, quite beutiful - and
thanks to Nils, I know which meldoes it plays (Wagner, Finlandia etc.)

The 3 Cabelleroes ride again - is definitely going to be mentioned,
with those genius note-lines above the panels where they sing - 
I never, repeating: never saw something like that before. If you 
did, please tell me. 

As with Barks additions are welcome - as Don likes music, there must be
some I forgot. 

HDL have been fond of certain singers, such as an Elwis-like one when
he was hot. 
DD was going nuts when a popular song (in danish version it was an
euphemism of the dub-i-dub song by the sisters Me and My) was played 
everywhere he got a job, even all the 6 months he had volunteered to 
spend in space - to get rid of the song. 
Little Wolf and the Pigs were wild about a group playing in the forest,
and they helped them - in a story I remember well, cause I read it just
after I had learned to read. 

I remember Goofy helping some group, being a stand-in for a popstar who
looked very much like Goofy...

As you can see, I already have enough for at least two pages, but as
there's no limitations here, please tell me of any music-comic I
forgot.
