#bagpipes
We bowed our heads at the burial site
Then unto God we all wept and prayed,
We said our goodbyes both day and night
Then the bagpipes, they just played.
The piper piped his tune for the dead,
A better eulogy could not have been read.
We stood and we cheered at our soldiers patriotically
As they all marched one by one in the parade,
We watched them all as the spiritual and the holy
Then the bagpipes, they just played.
Tunes were played for the peace keepers,
And we the watchers became the weepers.
We began a new life together me and my mate
From each other we swore that we would not be swayed,
She became my wife without much of a debate
Then the bagpipes, they just played.
The piper then piped his tune with our prayer,
Our pact and our tune was now forever in the air.
We walked the Royal Mile in Edinburgh
As though we were on our own musically crusade,
The bagpiper there was proud and thorough
I gave him a pound, his bagpipes then played.
I then thought of the jealousy of the moon,
As it cannot see the bagpiper playing his tune.

Bagpipe Swing
with Gunhild Carling in Central Park in NYC
I'm afraid I don't recognize the tune here. This was too remarkable to pass up. Swing on pipes. This is not piob mhor (Scottish great pipes), but, I suppose, some sort of Swedish bagpipes. Her Wikipedia page says she started playing pipes at a young age.

"The Most Unwanted Song" (optional version with score) is close-to 22 minutes of your life that you'll never get back if you listen to it in its entirety.
"The Most Unwanted Song" is an "avant-garde" novelty song created by artists Komar and Melamid and composer Dave Soldier in 1997. The song was designed to incorporate lyrical and musical elements that were annoying to most people. These elements included bagpipes, cowboy music, an opera singer rapping, and a children's choir that urged listeners to go shopping at Walmart. (Wikipedia)

They also made "The Most Wanted Song". Less unique. Also less Walmart.
