Not enough people are aware that there is an old Scottish song by the title "Cock Up Your Beaver."
That is all.

If you're curious what Cock Up Your Beaver sounds like, here's a splendid recording by Wendy Weatherby. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caq63ZHO0Og

@bodhipaksa@mastodon.scot and like many of these old Scottish and Burns songs, is perfectly mild despite its text (although did these words have double entendres back then?) And of course many of Burns' poems and songs ARE very bawdy. We used to do an annual Burns Night which was a great source of merriment. I need to try and do one next year.
