"Jigging": I meant feigning an Irish jig. The band themselves did some sort of approximation of Irish-ish dancing in the video for the song, and people are still kind of copying it (but only late at night, at weddings. ;) ).

I made the distinction about it being an English band (Weren't they from Birmingham?) because I wanted Azizi to understand that it wasn't "Irish music" at all - at the time I think the band identified their look and use of fiddles as "gypsy", but I've also never met any gypsies who looked like that. Early Bananarama, maybe... Or sounded like that, either.

As someone else has said, it was just a pop song - but a pretty good one, at the end of the day (IMHO). The music is pastiche, the too rye aye doesn't mean anything - but it was fun to dance to.
