    Songs To Swish Your Pleats To

    So this is day one of a week long conference. I'm kilted up and walking down the main hallway of the hotel and the
    Muzak is playing "Rockin' Robin."

    Gotta admit it felt good to walk kilted to that beat and I know I put some extra swish in the pleats.

    Any other ideas of songs with a good "kilt swishing" beat?

    Like, if you were gonna have a kilt fashion show what music would you play to go with the kilts on the runway?

    I am not sure about the beat, but the results could be great with "Good Vibrations".

    Since it is also the recommended rhythm for performing CPR, I believe "Staying Alive" is a good choice. The effect of a kilt in motion upon the human heart cannot be denied!

    I used to get good mileage out of Scottish Soldier and Onward Christian Soldiers, among others.

    "Colonel Bogey" puts a spring into my step and the words about a certain German Chancellor and his henchmen's anatomy add a smile as a bonus.

    Any good 6/8 march, but usually Cock 'o The North sung the Aiberdeenshire way;
    Auntie Mary
    Hid a canary
    Up the leg o' her dra'ers
    It windnae cum doon
    Fer hauf a croon
    So she punched it in the ja'.

    Himmler had something similar must rank up there with any of Noel Coward's musical witticisms.

    Having a certain familiarity with the tune, and the lyrics referenced, I can add wholehearted agreement!
