	Mallard Song - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mallard Song is a notorious tradition of All Souls College, Oxford.
		The identity of King Edward in the song is not known; it could refer to any of the five English monarchs of that name (three numbered, and two earlier monarchs) up to the time the song was created.
		They dropped this verse from the song, but to the delight of traditionalists, it was restored in the 2001 ceremony.

	Special EventsThe Mallard Society
		The earliest reference to the Mallard in connection with the College comes from January 1632, when three young "Mallardyzers" were disciplined for bringing strangers in and causing disturbance and damage during the night.
		He describes a torchlit procession round the College and on the roofs, in which a mallard was carried on a pole; there was a "Lord of the Mallard", attended by six officers who carried white staves and wore medals on which the ceremony was depicted.
		He quotes a bogus document purporting to be a fifteenth-century account of the discovery of the mallard in the drain, as foretold to Chichele in a dream.

	Curiousities, Grotesqueries, Follies, & Strange Customs
		The Mallard Song exhibits such terrible scansion that one might believe that it had been composed by William Topaz McGonnagal (see 'Saffy's Corner' June issue), had the Scots master not been born until centuries later.
		It is likely that the song was composed whilst the singers and mallard hunters imbibed a good deal of excellent port, and the words may not necessarily mean much.
		Hunting the Mallard is clearly a most bibulous exercise, and it is perhaps well for the sober atmosphere of Oxford University that it is undertaken but once a century.

		I find this song very disturbing after the midst of all the school shootings and violence that lingers everywhere.
		I don't think there really is "violence" per se in the song (do the verses describe violent acton?), but there is definite dissatisfaction and anger, neither of which is inherrently bad.
		Then when the song was over there'd be bird seeds all over the floor.

		Mallard's musical skills continue to get better and better as he furthers himself in his music career.
		Katie showed up and did a couple of songs, very good work on two originals, while Gary was there the entire night, honking his harmonica for anyone who'd let him join them, plus his own Tom Waits blues stuff.

		Most songs are sung by male songbirds during the mating season to attract a mate and defend a territory.
		This may be useful to a male who is able to distinguish between a harmless neighbor and a bird that threatens his territory and for a female to identify her mate.
		Songbirds learn their songs from members of their own species.

	10,000 Birds - April 2005
		The variability and creativity of a bird's song during this learning process is induced by a basal-ganglia-related circuit.
		The researchers conclude that the exploratory motor behavior required for a songbird to learn a complex motor sequence (a song) is dependent on a dedicated neural circuit homologous to cortico-basal ganglia circuits in mammals.
		Of course, song sparrows were not intimidated by the noise, nor were starlings or rock pigeons.
