GUEST,SUSANMACKENZIE Origins: Hurdy Gurdy Flowers in Still Game (5) Origins: Hurdy Gurdy Flowers in Still Game 05 Jun 22

We enjoy a Scottish comedy on Netflix entitled "Still Game." The character Jack often sings to himself "Hurdy Gurdy Flowers in the windae boxes." It is an ironic note, as his character goes from a well cultivated cottage yard with window boxes, to the imposing and impersonal facade of flat windows in the Osprey Heights towers. Some online discussion includes mentions of grandparents singing the song, but I find nothing much about it.
