Jimmy Shand Band – Bluebell Polka 12/1955
My back was a little sore after the pat I gave it for knowing Bluebell Polka on sight alone. If you have ever been to a Ceilidh or have ever been forced to practice Highland Dancing as a child, you’ll have probably heard Jimmy Shand and his band’s jaunty tune in the past. And we can also see a trend that will continue to grow, cover songs. The film, “Unchained Melody” only came out in January and yet obviously the public went mad for the song of the same name. The Righteous Brothers wouldn’t record their version for another ten years (the best iteration) so I guess it makes sense to give a go. Also, that Singing Dogs song is just dogs singing.
