Wordsworth Rap

Dear Readers–

From the Daily Telegraph (U.K.):

But now William Wordsworth’s most famous poem has been reworked and rewritten in a hip-hop style – complete with drum beat and quick-fire rhymes – in an effort to draw a younger generation of visitors to the Lake District.

Cumbria Tourism, which has released the new version of I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud to mark the 200th anniversary of the original, hopes the rap and accompanying video will appeal to the “YouTube generation”.

So a video of a rapper in a giant squirrel outfit (called M.C. Nuts) dancing around to such lyrics as:

Must have been 10,000 I saw in my retina
No more than a glance then I register they’re beautiful etcetera
I never knew in advance but they were tossing up their heads like a pogo dance

is meant to bring the “youth” into the Lake Districts? I wonder what their slogan is: “Come to the Lake District – see Wordsworth turning over in his grave”?

Yours sincerely,
Mild Colonial Boy, Esq.
