im putting together a couple of scottish folk mixes bc that’s what i do and im honestly curious if anyone in my country has ever been unequivocally happy about anything ever
scottish trad music genres:
- Everyone I Love Is Dead
- The English Have Stolen All My Sheep
- You Want To Be My Boyfriend? First You Must Answer These Riddles Three
- The Protestants Have Stolen All My Sheep
- I Love You A Lot But You’ve Left Me And It’s Raining [fiddle solo]
- The Sea Is Treacherous, Just Like The English
- One Time Bonnie Prince Charlie Punched Me In The Face And It Was Awesome
- The Fairies Have Stolen All My Sheep
We have of course the traditional Irish music genres to go with them:
* Everyone I Love Is An Allegorical Representation of Ireland
* The English Stole My Farm And Put Sheep On It
* You Were My Boyfriend But Now You Won’t Even Come To The Window To Look Upon Me And Our Dead Infant Child (In The Rain)
* Whack Fol Too La Roo Umptytiddly Good They’ve Stopped Listening Now Let’s Talk About Revolution
* Something In Irish, I Think It’s About Fairies, Or Maybe A Cow
Why aren’t there scottish genres about vikings stealing sheep?
Why are there so many songs about sheep in the first place?
Are there English folk songs about stealing sheep and displacing them on other people’s (former) property?
Not much sheep displacement, but here are some traditional English music genres to add to the pile:
- I Am Poor and We Are Poor And We’ll Die Poor and Jesus Will Make It Better Somehow
- Oh My Girl, Let Me In So We Can Do The Do, Your Parents Won’t Hear
- I Saw The Strangest Thing Yesterday, Daddly-De-Daddly-De-Day
- I Was On My Way to (Great British Landmark) When I Spied The Fairest Maid
- How Lucky I Am To Be Poor But Happy
- How Unlucky I Am To Be Poor And Drunk
- Remember When We Used To Walk at (Great British Landmark), Now You Are Dead and I Shall Never Be Happy Again
You left out “Of course I fucked you and left a false name, I’m in the army!”
