Maybe we've been here before, maybe not...

My question is, which Folk Songs would you like sung by which Folk Artists? Taking folk as broadly as possible of course, which as far as Mudcat is concerned might well include everything after all.

No fan of Steeleye Span I, they nevertheless continue to fascinate on a level of perversity that, at times, might requite certain excorcism, especially when my head is overrun by Seven Hundred Elves.

So by way of catharsis might I suggest a cover version of Seven Hundred Elves by The Fall, feeling sure that Mark E Smith is the perhaps the only human being alive who might render this piece of iksome whimsy genuinely menacing. It's not as if he hasn't sang of elves before; witness The Elf Norman of Elf Prefix, or The Elves of Dunsimore of, er, Elves.

So what would your Fantasy Folk Cover be? And why?
