Subject: RE: Happy Scottish songs
Guest Charles, this takes us back where we started.

The wee cooper o' fife - wife beating.

Donald, whures yer troosers - fun with racial streotypes.

Muckin o Georidies Byre - incompetant animal husbandary, insanatary working conditions and a hint at bestiality.

The Hielandsmans Umbrella - exiled gaels seek solance in "No Mean City"

Scotland the Brave - written by Cliff Hanley as a mild tounge-in-cheek poke at fake Scottishness, still works today.
