I just can't stop loving Poolewe by Michael Jackson
Or perhaps anything by the Fun Lovin' Crinancanals:
'Running around robbing banks
All wacked off of Sgurr Ban snacks..'

Mull of Kiintyre by.. No, wait a minute, that's neither entertaining nor funny.

But "Muckin' the byre" to the same tune was, if my memory serves me right.

Haven't heard that in years!

I seem to recall a twosome called the Trampies who played most of the Aviemore pubs on different nights doing this as their party piece. AIRI the last word of the second line was "sore" which gives more rhymes...

The Trampies!

Now there's a name from the past.

I think I've still got a casette of them somewhere in the hoose
