English madrigals are sung primarily in England and in English-speaking countries.
[B] They were first heard in the 11th century after the Battle of Hastings, sung by the winners.
The losers sat around singing Shut Up and Deal, which is
up by Mary, Queen of Scots, Elizabeth, and Anthony Armstrong Jones.
This next madrigal is dedicated to all of those who actually believe that Bonnie Prince Charlie posed
for the What Me Worry pictures.
