about

Draper had never visited Sweden, the Slavic states, or any Arab countries when she created these songs, and was later amused to learn that her invented languages sounded a lot like the real thing. In an interview with Studs Terkel, Draper said that while she intended the brief pieces to be satirical, audiences sometimes thought she was actually trying to sing.
