Adults may lament that todays Scots children do not sing in the playground, but the kids know better. Hundreds of hilarious, energetic, surreal, nonsensical and alarming rhymes and songs are still in use, some over 200 years old, others as new as todays TV ads. Doh Ray Me, the first comprehensive account of Scots childrens lyric lore, investigates what has been lost and what has replaced it, looking at the arcane riches of the past as well as the absurd glories of today.Over 800 Scots lyrics taken from publications and unpublished collections from the 1820s to 2006 include the stories of Coulters Candy and Aunty Marys Canary; the ancient pipe tune that became London Bridge is Falling Down and the Scots ancestry of The Mulberry Bush, The Hokey Cokey and Old King Cole. There are songs for skipping, handclapping, games, guises, wordplay and trickery. Ewan McVicar, one of Scotlands bestknown storytellers and song writers, has collected songs in over 40 Scottish schools to create the first publication of the hidden songs of Scots childhood. The songs featured include honest vulgarity, violence, football and antischool ditties.
