Hey all, I'd thougth I'd let everyone know I'm going to a SciFi/Gaming convention here in Springfield this weekend called Visioncon. What this has to do with this thread is I'm going this year dressed in my Belted Plaid (plus there are a few other guys there who will most likely be kilted sometime over the weekend) and every year I do a song and dance at the masquerade. This year I've decided to sing my own PC version of the Corries comic 'Scotland the Brave' so here are the lyrics, the ones in bold are the ones I've changed to make a little more PC.


Land o’ the purple heather
Land o’ the dirty weather
Land where the midges gaither
Scotland The Brave.

Land where they wear there tammies
Andy Capp and Saturday’s Sannies
Land where they sell their grannies
Scotland The Brave.

Used to say in Faithers day
You could hear the bagpipes play
But now you hear the regal tones
O' Elton John and the Rolling Stones.

Land that is full of stinkers
Hendrick’s Gin and VP drinkers
Whisky put a lot o’ stinkers
Into Scottish graves.

Land that is full o’ skivvers
Comic Singers, deep sea divers
Tours by our bus con drivers
Scotland The Brave.


Land o’ the brutal bobbies
Councilors wi’ part-time jobbies
Architects wi’ paying hobbies
Scotland The Brave.

The tourists come here every year
To see all our historic gear
But all they see is loads o’ navvies
High rise flats wi’ concrete lavvies.

Land o' the “Artic” lorries,
Andy Stewart, and ra Corries
Land where everybody borries
Scotland The Brave.

Land o’ the Kilt and Sporran
Underneath there’s nothing worn!
How I wish the wind was warm!
Scotland The Brave.

I must admit it’s pretty gruesome
Walking around with a frozen twosome!
It’s all we’ve got we musn’t lose ‘em!
Scotland The Brave.

Conservatives try to assure us
Labour’s hard put to endure us
The kirk puts curbs on our enjoyment
Government makes unemployment!

Never mind, the day is near
When independence will be here
We’ll drink a toast in Youngers Beer
To Scotland The Brave!

I'll let you guys know how the weekend went next week!

Being a MacLeod, "I Will Go" is one of my favorite songs.

[Warlock]

Wonderful! As was their Flower of Scotland.

I compare the Corries to The Smothers Brothers when they had their TV Show. Their songs were not "PC" either, but the message was heard. I enjoyed them both. Andy,,, Its good to see ya back on the web.
