Thread Name: Men Without Hats 'Safety Dance'
Subject: Folklore: Men Without Hats 'Safety Dance'
I've just watched this 1982 song being performed by Men Without Hats on the TV channel 'That's 80s'.
The video shows no end of English folklore traditions, such as Cotswold Morris dancing, a Punch and Judy show and a Maypole.
I seem to remember it was filmed in a Wiltshire village (West Kington, near Chipping Sodbury) but I couldn't identify the Morris side (to my shame).
The whole song with video can be seen on Youtube. Anyone able to identify the Cotswold Morris side?
