John MacDonald found a corpse, put it under the sofa,Waited till it came to life and hit it with a poker,Sold its eyes for souvenirs, sold its blood for whiskey,Kept its bones for dumb-bells to use when he was fifty.
It's no go the Yogi Man, it's no go Blatavsky,All we want is a bank balance and a bit of skirt in a taxi.
Annie MacDougall went to milk, caught her foot in the heather,Woke to hear a dance record playing of Old Vienna. It's no go your maidenheads, it's no go your culture, All we want is a Dunlop tyre and the devil mend the puncture.
The Laird o' Phelps spent Hogmanay declaring he was sober, Counted his feet to prove the fact and found he had one foot over. Mrs Carmichael had her fifth, looked at the job with repulsion, Said to the midwife 'Take it away; I'm through with overproduction'.
It's no go the gossip column, it's no go the Ceilidh, All we want is a mother's help and a sugar-stick for the baby.
Willie Murray cut his thumb, couldn't count the damage, Took the hide of an Ayrshire cow and used it for a bandage. His brother caught three hundred cran when the seas were lavish, Threw the bleeders back in the sea and went upon the parish.
It's no go the Herring Board, it's no go the Bible, All we want is a packet of fags when our hands are idle.
It's no go the picture palace, it's no go the stadium, It's no go the country cot with a pot of pink geraniums, It's no go the Government grants, it's no go the elections, Sit on your arse for fifty years and hang your hat on a pension.
It's no go my honey love, it's no go my poppet; Work your hands from day to day, the winds will blow the profit. The glass is falling hour by hour, the glass will fall for ever, But if you break the bloody glass you won't hold up the weather.

the bagpipe deserves more than this, so i am bumping with this info from the music nerd test thread
Over the weekend, I stayed at a campsite in Wisconsin. On Sunday morning, someone was walking around the campsite at like 8am playing the bagpipe. It was far away, and I could barely hear it, so it wasn't obnoxious or anything. Instead, it was really ~spooky~ and beautiful and I remembered how much I like the droney sound of the bagpipe. So today, with a little free time this morning, I wondered whether or not there is such a thing as experimental bagpipe music. You know, I like the sound of the instrument, but I want it to be less distracting/trad sounding.
I googled "avante garde bagpipe music" and the first result is http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/rockandjazzmusic/3668768/A-haven-for-lovers-of-avant-garde-bagpipe-music.html
I think this means that I passed the test, but who knows. It was kind of disappointing because I can't say that I really found what I was looking for :-/

Yeah, I was in HMV OxfordStreet lunchtime, and they were playing something vaguely hiphoppy bagpipey as well...

There's also this: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Inside+Ov+A+Coffin%2C+The?anv=Inside+Ov+A+Rough+Trade+Shop%2C+The&filter_anv=1
But I doubt it'll be available for online listening.

Ok, Yoshi Wada is exactly what I was looking for -- thanking u !!
Is there a lot of this stuff and I just didn't know about it? It's such an awesome instrument.

This is traditional, but different than the usual.
Oh, I was thinking Yoshi Wada, but I thought he only did stuff that sounds like bagpipe, and so, didn't count.

I have the Rufus Harley album on Atlantic, "Bagpipe Blues". Sadly there is quite a few tracks that he doesn't play the bagpipes but there's a couple of good ones on each side. It's worth having for the cover and the sleevenotes anyway, which explain why he does what he does.

Can someone recommend some specific albums with bagpipes + slow drums? The more plodding, the better.
― La Lechera, Monday, 6 February 2012 15:19 (thirteen years ago)
Maybe a search for dirge + bagpipes? There ought to be funereal music for bagpipes lurking out there, since the military has used bagpipes for centuries.
― Aimless, Monday, 6 February 2012 18:31 (thirteen years ago)
They always play marches, though, and "Amazing Grace."

i have now seen Yoshi Wada perform and his bagpipes were identical (same manufacturer, I asked!) to the semi-professional player named Scott (Forgotten Surname) who is also a priest. It was amazing!! He started with some kind of abrasive bells and then the reed organ (giant harmonium?) came in with the drone (played by son Tashi Wada) and then like magic this magnificent noise starts to grow from the back of the room and Yoshi Wada and this other guy (who was in full regalia btw, Yoshi was not) paced to the front of the room while playing. It sounded totally primordial, like the sound of the beginning of a planet or something. Amazing. I finally feel like I had the satisfying experimental bagpipe experience I was wishing for 5+ years ago.

awesome
― brimstead, Sunday, 23 October 2016 19:21 (nine years ago)
I was sitting in the front on the floor, and when I turned around to look at the bagpipes as they paced to the front, the audience was full of people with borderline childlike expressions of wonder and happiness on their faces. It was also thunderingly loud.
