Thread Name: Rock and pop tunes played as dance tunes
Subject: Rock and pop tunes played as dance tunes
I once heared Hedgehog Pie segue (is that the word?) from a jig into Goodbye to Jane by Slade, very effective and great fun. I suppose lots of people have heard that arrangement of Hey Jude by Da Dannan, playing in many different traditional modes.

This set me thinking and trying to play rock and pop tunes in some sort of dance mode. I can sort of 6/8 Rave On and I found that Green sleevse 6/8s into a Morris Tune but I suppose most people know that.

Most Rock and pop tunes loose their small lives by this process but sometimes it works.

Has anybody else tried this? If so name that tune!
