@Ascanius45

Lost causes always have the best music.

[chickenshiat]

speeled it wrong, it's Alba Gu Brath, with a apostrphe over the "a"

[fschornagel]

you both spelt it wrong. :P

[dogochoc]

is there something wrong with my computer, or is the screen blank starting at :10 ?

[rosswatt1979]

when i made vid i didnt stretch pic for full length of track....only noticedonce it was on here and cant be bothered doin it again.

[thistlewarrior]

And the stupid comment trend continues! Well done!

[agreyfox]

there ive removed my comments.....happy now.. done to the tune of "A Man's A Man For A' That".....peace and love..peace and love

[dogochoc]

I agree bloobear. Most of these comments have NOTHING to do with this song......

[EMesaros]

To agreyfox--Thanks for the lyrics! I was needing them. I don't think Flower of Scotland is the wierd one: that is the parody of Sc. the Brave. Which is very funny and clever anyway, if you can ignore the dreadful bits. There is dandy pipe-and drum version of this listed as United Kingdom Military March: Wha wadna...

[2pac1971to1996rip]

its scotland the brave u mean and it aint racist

[thistlewarrior]

Why mention "pee pee drinkers and wee fat stinkers"????

Why? Because it's humerous thats why. It's not racist if you can also poke fun at yourself.

Have a cola and lighten up!

[EMesaros]

To thistlewarrior--Actually the line is "VP drinkers," I think. The first few times I heard it I thought it was Pee-pee too. I nearly flipped out. Really that's funnier than VP. I think VP is a Scotch liquor, or am I wrong about that?

[thistlewarrior]

Might be. If so they should change the line to "pee pee" lol

[thistlewarrior]

It implies nothing of the kind!

People like you in the PC brigade are the ones who miss the point entirely. No one has said that racism is OK but that song isn't racist!

Just because "these people", as you call them, are mentioned does not mean there is any racism involved.

At least the song aims to include them in Scottish society. Would you prefer that "these people" are just ignored instead?

Now that would be racist!

[MsScottishExile]

Oh, and does the mention of folk singers mean that they wanted to get rid of themselves?

Maybe you should listen to the song with something called an OPEN MIND. NOTHING implied getting RID of those elements of Scotland.

The POINT, my friend, is the Pakis, wee fat jews (the very popular Alex Salmond anyone? who I am very sure would chuckle), BV drinkers AND the folk singers are ALL PART AND PARCEL OF SCOTLAND!

A Scotland that needs to be free.

[MsScottishExile]

Yes, I shouldn't have shortened it and a slip of the tongue can cause offense which that may have. I apologize. I was rushed on my way to work and careless.

However, you listen to all of the people they listed in that song from Pakistanis, Jews, deep sea divers, folk singers, to councilors with part time jobbies. None of it implied that any of them were unwanted in Scotland.

Since when is just mentioning Pakistanis insulting? They said nothing bad about Pakistanis. Show me the insult.

[thistlewarrior]

You're quite a self righteous little so and so aren't you?

You presume too much. Jim Davidson is a racist eejit and quite possibly the un-funniest "comedian" going.

What exactly is my thinking then? Is it because I disagree with you on one point it must mean I'm a swastika wearing, skin headed nut job?

You really need to chill out pal and just take the song for what it is.

If you don't like it, fine. You don't need to start a spamming campaign to get your point across.

[agreyfox]

at least im not blinded by my nationalism to ignore whats wrong in Scotland....i note you find Jim Davidson unfunny...he would say exactly what you are saying about this song...its only a joke ..as i said i only pointed out one song that may be objectional...suprised so many find latent racism in Scottish culture ok..oh well me and my self righteous ways...spamming campaign?im replying to those that have left comments criticising me for pointing out the obvious..."well if the shoe fits!"...jeeso

[calicheSCOT]

Keep that to yourself mate, no one else is interested in your bigoted views.

[JeannieTomlin]
