On the ongoing 'Binnorie' thread, I wrote to a poster who preferred the tune linked to the usual one, which he said he found too 'perky', "I have frequently relished the polarity between the tragic content of a song and the perkiness of its tune. The Bonnie Lass Of Fyvie has always struck me as a prime example of such".

Does anyone else enjoy this quite frequent anomaly between the happy tune & the unhappy mood or events of a song? Any other examples?
