Best Song Featuring Bagpipes

I am not sure if they are real or if they are synth, but The Church - Under The Milkyway is an awesome song. I listen to it all the time, but I just noticed it has what sounds like bagpipes.

It occurred to me, what an interesting instrument to have in a song. So I was wondering, what is your favorite song featuring bagpipes?

BTW, the song is from the 80's. It was used in Donnie Darko (great movie btw) and it worked perfectly. Almost makes me want to start an 80's New Wave station. :-)

Dude! I freaking loved bands like The Church, Depeche Mode, Erasure, Flock of Seagulls, When In Rome, Pet Shop Boys. Heck, I could get the music from my old CD collection.

Ok, I was a messed up metal head. I admit it. I just love most music. I worked at Hastings Records in 87, so it's hard not to be influenced by the music I heard at that time.

Back on track. Best Song Featuring Bagpipes?

AC-DC's.. "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock n' Roll)"
Paul McCartney & Wings "Mull of Kintyre"

Just about anything by the Dropkick Murphies would fall into this category.

I remember Big Country had what sounded like bagpipes but was actually a guitar. Still good stuff.

That's another band I liked. What was that song?

In a big country where lovers roam or something like that.

Remember Big Audio Dynamite? What song was it they sang. No cheating either.

In a big country dreams stay with you
like a lovers voice cross the mountain siiiide!

I remember B.A.D. II had the album "The Globe" but couldn't remember the song. I think B.A.D also had a song that was really good, but cannot remember what it was either.

Falco was another cool one.

Man, MTV was the shit back then. Remember when they actually played videos?

What was the first Video to be played on MTV? Artist and Title? This one is pretty easy if you think about it.....

March of Cambreadth by Heather Alexander
1960's Vietnam Era dirge with Pipes, Drum and singer.
Would have been right at home in Apocalypse Now movie.

Atomm, 2 new stations, the Punk Rock and the Way back machine of the 80's

Ohhhh Yaaaaa

Man.... You know, I can't put it on the top of the list, but I see no reason why we couldn't put together a bunch of stations. The current one is almost paying for itself. As soon as I am sure it's not a fluke, I'll look at the second station.

To answer my own question...

Video Killed The Radio Star by The Buggles..... MTV's first ever video.

I meant to answer that, but forgot 🙁 I didn't know the band, only the song though.

Ever since then, they have been going downhill. Bring back the Lawrence Welk show.

Actually, there was hope for them, but then they cancelled MTV-X and added MTV Hip Hop 1 - 20. Then they went downhill........
