Yay! The re-Imagined Village Revisited!

Actually, that might explain this which was giving me ear-worm all yesterday, so much so that I tried playing it on the fiddle when got home:

Boxing Day Scarecrow Dance

Musicologists are cautious over its provenance, some saying that whilst it's undoubtedly part of the Morris Trad-geist, there are elements of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in there too, hence the scarecrow, presumably. There was a chorus collected too, it goes:

Have you seen the scarecrow?
Tatters & rags such a funny old show,
A lolloping, loping scarescrow
He sings 'Come along with me!'
He's coming down the road tonight
His tatters & rags all covered in shite
His ugly old face will give you a fright
He sings 'Give me some cake and tea!'

Pick the primal pagan bones out of that, Miss Kilnigur!
