I’ve just been asked to play this tune so here it is. I’m not too sure how reliable this version is but it is maybe a bit closer to the version common in Ireland than the version on another website near you. I think it mightn’t originally be an Irish tune so maybe the funny version is the normal version where the funny version comes from and the normal version is maybe … etc.
This is also known as “The Cliff Hornpipe”. Whether that’s the Cliff of “Summer Holiday” fame, I don’t know.

I was asked a while ago to play this. I think I’ve already played it under a different name but I’m happy enough to post it with this name and look like I know more tunes than I really do. I can’t remember what the other name I called it was so this is probably the one I’ll use in future.

Here’s one I wasn’t asked to play. I wasn’t asked not to play it either so as it doesn’t seem to be here already I thought I’d give it a go. I think I was half the age I am now when I last played this tune and if I live to be twice the age I am now I’ll either have too few teeth or too much sense to play it again.
There’s a touch of a farting in the bath sound about it. Maybe it’s more of a windpipe than a hornpipe.

Here a very long hornpipe which I’ve been asked to play. I maybe played it a bit too fast the second time around but as it has so many parts I had to rush to finish it before the shops shut.
(This version is vaguely like the one in Ceol Rince na hÉireann Vol. 3 - No. 208)

I had to look this one up in “The Book” when asked tp post it. I found it in O’Neill’s Dance Music of Ireland, 1001 Gems (No. 469). I had just previously found “The Book” on the sideboard by the door into the kitchen. There is some audible dissent in the background but O’Neill was from Bantry so I’d trust this version OK despite the critical opinion which is to the fore in parts of this recording.
