"Donald Where's your Trousers?" music
Anyone happen to have a copy of Donald Where's Your Trouser's that you could put up, or know of a source? I've been looking around for a while and can't seem to find one.

You mean this one?
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Everything that's bad about Scottish music is in that song.

I love this song! I especially like Enter The Haggis' version of it. I'll have to look for a video of it after class

I once worked for a Second-hand Bookseller in West Port who used to drive me to mute apoplexy by saying things like "Harry Lauder, now he was a real Scot..."
I can handle it now. Mind you, I'm not living in Scotland any more...

I posted a request for this on thesession.org website. I have not received a reply yet.
I loved the version of this song in the Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles TV series in the 2nd to last episode.

Would "Who Threw the Overalls in Mrs Murphy's Chowder" do instead?

- Tell us something.: I'm a fiddler and, latterly, a fluter. I love the flute. I wish I'd always played it. I love the whistle as well. I'm blessed in having really lovely instruments for all of my musical interests.

Great! Never heard that one before. It's brilliant. Thanks for reminding, Mr Guru, sir.

Re: "Donald Where's your Trousers?" music
That's fine if you just want to play an accompaniament, try this if you want to play the melody; same as above f's are sharp, D whistle,i don't speak ABC-ese... and i don't have the dots... but... try these notes (on a D whistle, in D... F's are sharp...)
Beefee Bddedd Beefee bagfee....repeat until nausea sets in...
e..B.....e.......e......d....e....f....e....e.....d...A.....d...d...C#..d...e..d...d.....e...d....B..e.....e.......e...f..e..e.....b..a.......g.......f.....e...e
I just came down from the Isle of Skye, I'm not real big and I'm awful shy, all the lassies shout when I go by, 'Donald, where's your trousers?'
(edit; for some reason all the notes above the words joined together as one so I have put full stops between to see if that fixes things)

Re: "Donald Where's your Trousers?" music
One good thing about this thread. All the this typing of Trousers instead of Troosers is making me imagine the song being sung in an over the top posh English accent, rather than an over the top comedy Scots accent. Makes the song sound much funnier in my head.
