Funny Songs About Raven A series of humorous songs about Raven, or ascribed to him, were recorded. These were sung as happy songs during the peace-making ceremonies, usually by the wives of the captors, whUe their husbands danced (pp. 570-571, 601-602). 'Raven and the Herring Heads,' 'Raven and Snipes,' 'Raven Steals Dayhght,' 'Raven <strong>Lo</strong>ses his Nose,' and 'Raven Washes Himself in Vain,' were all specifically designated as funny peace dance songs. The last was said to have been danced by the men holding mock weapons. 'Raven and the Mussel People,' although funny, was said to have been sung by the K'âctqwan when guests at a potlatch. 'How Raven Became Drunk' is funny, but I do not know on what occasions it was sung. Funny Peace Dance Song: Raven and the Herring Heads 1954, 6-1-E (a); recorded by Sarah Williams and Jenny Jack on May 10. This song, and the foUowing "Raven and Snipes" (1954, 6-1-E [b]), both belong to the story of how Raven was invited to a potlatch (by the Sea Otters, according to Sarah Williams). He refused to go, because he did not like the codfish heads they always served. Later he sent his servant, a man made of wood, to find out what was being eaten at the feast, and to ask for a place for him. No one paid attention. Raven then collected a number of Snipes, his nephews, and went to the house. They came dancing in. Raven ate herring heads from a wooden box, climbing right into it. Supposedly he composed this song about the herring heads; or, it is supposed to be derived from his caw. In any case, it is an old one. Then the Snipes danced into the house, singing "Raven and Snipes" (see below). The singers made several mistakes in the words before they were able to sing the two songs, which they presented together. Each lasted 32 seconds. The words to the first are: (sung t^vice) A B A A 'a° 'a° 'a yayit yaw cayi—'A° 'a° those herring heads yel tculsex(a)—Raven ate them up. The structure is: B B' Funny Peace Dance Song: Raven and Snipes 1952, 3-1-B; recorded by Annie Johnson and Minnie Johnson on August 13 (version a). 1954, 5-1-E; recorded by Nick Milton (drumming) Katy Dixon Isaac, Mary Thomas, and <strong>Lo</strong>uise Peterson on April 25 (version b). 1954, 6-1-E (b); recorded by Sarah Williams and Jenny Jack on May 10 (version c). The recording (a) in 1952 was preceded by a good deal of talk, and by the singing of the humorous song about Raven and the Mussel People, which the singers were not wilUng to record. Finally they sang 'Raven and Snipes,' which they entitled "'Raven's Claw' (yel xaku). It lasted 40 seconds (cf. score p. 1262). According to Minnie Johnson, it was composed by Raven himself, when h^went to a potlatch given by the KUlerwhales. The recording by Sarah WiUiams and Jenny Jack followed immediately upon the song 'Raven and the Heiring Heads.' This was, according to Sarah Williams, the second song connected with the potlatch given by the Sea Otters. The Snipes danced into the house, singing this song. It had one stanza and lasted 3 2 seconds. This version (c) is different in tune and rhythm from that recorded by the group (1954, 5-1-E). 1257
