The Mexican Scotsman-- Enter the Haggis..
Jose, get your bagpipes
And head down to the square
Seranade the passers-bye
And you'll make some money there

Jose came to this country
Looking for a chance
To make some decent money
To buy a pair of pants
But we were in recession
And jobs were far and few
So jose took his bagpipes
And did what he had to do

Dressed in his Sombrero and Kilt
With his bagpipes and maracas
Playing away for his supper
Boiled haggis with nachos

One day while he was basking
A pretty young lassie came by
She said "Jose, take s troll with me"
Says Jose, "Si! Si! Och' 'Aye!"
They spent the day together
Then she took him to a dance
Well, Jose moved most gracefully
'Cause he wasn't wearing pants

And he was born in Mexico City
Educated in Scotland
In sandals and bright tartan pancho
Jose's fashion statement was not planned

But when Jose went to the men's room
There was trouble close at hand
Cause in came Bob, the sailor man
The roughest man in the land
Says Bob, "You're lookin' pretty
In your little tartan dress
Now you'd best be off to the ladies room
'fore I pummels you into a mess"

Now you could have heard a pin drop
As Jose tongued around
His scottish-mexican blood began to boil
And it made this kind of sound...


And when it all was over
Sailor Bob lay on the floor
He looked the saddest sorry wreck
Ever blown a shore
Now, the sailors keep a lookout
Whenever they're on the land
For they knows well that they doesn't mess
With a Scottish Mexican man!




When the Pipers Play... song by Isla St. Clair

[Erisianmonkey]

Not funny, but my favorite kilt related song has to be "Gallant Forty-Twa" by the Clancy Brothers.

[Ozman1944]

The Skye song, and "Charlie is ma Darlin'" "Donald etc."
This may sound silly, but there was a song on the top 40 back in the 70's about a battle between the Mc Dougals & Mc Gregors. All I can remember is part of the chorus;

"O tweedle dee, O tweedle dum,
the tune Mc Dougal always used to hum,
when he was fighting
the rival clan Mc Gregor,
he swore that he would never
{La La La La La La?)

(can't remember the rest, having a Senior Moment, it's been a long time.)

Anyone have the slightest idea of what I'm talking about???
if not...NEVER MIND!

Dropkick Murphys - Spicy McHaggis
Not overly kilt related, unless you watch the video.

My good friend's band The Keltic Cowboys have a huge hit right now, titled "Kiss My Irish ***" . Floggings Molly's are currently trying to buy the rights of the song off of him also. You can download it on ITunes. Trust me it's worth the $0.99.

Well, if you look that song up online, its often mistakenly attributed to the Mollys (of which i'm on a rather big listening kick of). Although, Dave King has a rather noticable Irish accent, and Frank Mackey does not... hardly a new song, though.

The Scotsman, because it was sung to me at Paria Outpost because I was kilted, by a most lovely folk singer lady who did a great rendition of it from memory and acapella.

Barley Juice has a little ditty called "What's up Yours". That is my favorite. and any pipe music. "Whats" may not be "Scottish music", but it is still my favorite.

[Arlen]

I'll go with 'Donald where's yer troosers?'
I've kinda reclaimed it.
My surname being Donald, I've had a lot of hassle for it and that that sung to me many, many times.
Not to mention the fact that I used to play for a team called the ducks...

[Balaamsass51]

Frank beat me to "What's up Yours", but my real favorite is one I've heard BarleyJuice do - "Tartan is the color of my true loves hair".

Can't beat it with a stick.

I've always been a huge fan of "The Scotsman." My favourite rendition is a Techno-Pop dance remix done by the Brobdingnagian Bards that they called "The Scotsman Unbound."

I do really like "Donald, Where's Your Trousers?" and "What's Up Yours?" but I also really like "Highland Cathedral" (especially when done by a lone piper - sends shivers up my spine) and "Flower of Scotland."

What? No one mentioned "Evil Scotsman" by Billy Connely?
