PARF 2025 [33]: Music with Her Majesty – Viking Weekend (Sat 9/6) – PA Renaissance Faire [reupload]

Raw footage 33 of 176, reuploaded for quality. Stationary wide shot. I arrived during the pre-show, and started the camera before setting it up. It is thus all over the place until about 1:50. Actual show starts 2:30ish. Other things to note: ● Jared Haverdink was heckin' amazing enough to provide the lyrics to his original song so I might include them here. They can be found below the tracklist and timestamps. ● A bug crawls onto the camera lens at 5:08. It becomes more noticeable at 5:28. I notice and get rid of it by 6:08. ● Rain starts about twelve minutes in. I transfer to my rain setup 13:30-14:10. Camera is handheld and thus less stable for the rest of the video, and the makeshift roof often invades the shot. ● Per my notes written whilst screening this: “Mics.” ● As always, I made words and sounds. Some were prompted by filming, but none are intended for the camera/mic except for “Uh, stand by, y'all, there is som'in on the lens.” at 6:08.

For Thine Enjoyment [Verse 1] As I work upon the shire Though I never, ever tire ‘Tis oft a chore to steal a rest, or two My fiddler’s in a funk The carriage-master’s drunk Wherefore must we endure all we go through? [Chorus 1] Do it for laughter, The dance and the song! For making merry the whole day long! If thou dost ask why we labor on, ‘Tis all for thee Through storm and sunshine, We sing and we strive, A bit of rain makes the flowers thrive All to make the shire come alive For thine enjoyment! (Dialogue Break) [Verse 2] From the dawn ‘til day is done We play a part for ev’ryone The sovereign smile must never wilt nor fail/fade But with processions all in line, And yet another hill to climb, What leadeth us to fight another day? [Chorus 2] Do it for friendship, For feasting galore, A mug of ale, couldst thou ask for more? If thou dost ask what we toil for, ‘Tis all for thee Though crowns be heavy, And thrones austere Our heart doth lighten Whene’er we’re here Let all the shire be filled with cheer For thine enjoyment! [Bridge] We bake the bread We cook the meat Brew each pint of stout We lend a hand To those in need ‘Tis what it’s all about… (Exaggerated bass walkup) (Dialogue Break) [Chorus 3] Do it for laughter, The dance and the song, For making merry the whole day long! If thou dost ask why we labor on, For thine enjooooooyment! [Post-Scalawag reprise] Do it for friendship, For feasting galore, A mug of ale, couldst thou ask for more? If thou dost ask what we toil for, For thine enjooooooyment! ` ` ` ` ` ` I invite and encourage you to download this footage to use, reference, and enjoy independently of the questionable platforms on which it is hosted. My eventual intention is to clean up the audio and visuals somewhat, at which point I will unlist this raw footage and post the cleaned-up version on the main PARF-fan account. Archived out of love and admiration for the source material and the performers who brought it about. For Thine Enjoyment belongs to Jared Haverdink. Though I would argue that the characters are primarily the product of the actors, they are the property of Zeno Creative Group PRF Productions, as is the setting.
