Cannoneer Jabůrek (Czech: Kanonýr Jabůrek), published in 1884, is a cantastoria that mocks war propaganda that often made up stories about military heroism.[1][2][3][4] It is one of the most popular parodies of kramářská píseň, the Czech form of cantastoria.[2]
The song is a story of a valiant cannoneer Jabůrek who, as the song says, took part in the Battle of Königgrätz (1866). Even after the enemy's cannonballs tore off both his arms, he continued to load his cannon with bare feet, etc. When his head was torn off, it flew to the general and said: "Reporting, I cannot give a salute." The song further says that for his valiance he was promoted into nobility to be named Edler von den Jabůrek, and that he had no head, no big deal, because there was plenty of headless nobility already. No real event is described in the song; however, at the times there were newspaper reports and legends describing various kinds of exaggerated heroism.[1][2]
There was a comic duetto "Stará vojna" featuring two fictional military invalids: Cannoneer Jabůrek and Friar Kalina, music by Josef Paukner [cs], lyrics by Josef Šváb.[7][8]
The brave cannoneer is in the center of the plot of a satirical radio play Jaburek by Austrian playwright Franz Hiesel.[10]
There is a tavern U Kanonýra Jabůrka in Sadová, a place around which the battle was held.[10][11]
In 1968 Rudolf Pellar [cs] recorded a single, Králové Hradecké Zvony / Kanonýr Jabůrek.
In 1985 the Czech folk band Kantoři [cs] recorded the song with Supraphon in the LP album Tam u Královýho Hradce.[12]
Ukrainianedit
The fragments of the Ukrainian version of the song are quoted in the epic novel Shruba (Шруба) by Yaroclav Vereshchak [uk] as the skeleton of the plot.[6]
The song is performed in the 1990 film Tall Tales about Ivan (Небилиці про Івана) directed by Borys Ivchenko.[13]
The song has been performed by a number of Ukrainian bands, see the Ukrainian version of the article.
