Our morris team (Grimspound Border)have a great band who were once messing around with then "Upton upon Severn Stick Dance" tune and it has sort of stuck. So now we have: -

"A dance from a different world (in a parallel universe) which sits four elephants who stand on the back of a giant turtle. On this planet morris dancing was collected by a Robert Marleigh on the island of Didyamaca." The dance is called "The Upton on Kingston Spliff Dance".

The tune works really well, but it means the dance has to be quite slow and we have to "hang loose"!
