A note for any catters who play in ceilidh bands. Wimoweh is a great tune for the Nottingham Swing - or any vigorous step-hop dance. It works especially well if you end up with the rythym section playing the "Wimoweh ... a- Wimoweh " riff while most of the lead instruments play the "In the jungle, the quiet jungle" theme against it, with your best musician improvising like crazy over the top.

Try it sometime.

Wassail!
