I Don't Want To Die An Ordinary Man--Ozzie Osbourne. I spin to this a bunch and it inspires me to push harder to carpe diem!

Oh I love this song. My sister's daughter would have been named Brandy after this song, but she had a boy!

I'm not Scots but I am very fond of Gaelic songs. My mind immediately recalled this old ballad.
Enjoy, and if you like it, there is a story behind it.
The phrase "Dundee he is mounted" is a line from the traditional Scottish song "Bonnie Dundee." This song celebrates the life and legacy of John Graham, Viscount of Claverhouse, who is often referred to as Bonnie Dundee. The song reflects themes of loyalty and rebellion, with lines like "Dundee, he is mounted; he rides up the street" emphasizing his prominence and the rallying cry of his supporters. The song was originally included in Sir Walter Scott's play "The Doom of Devorgoil" and has been performed and recorded by various artists over the years.

THERE'S A HOLE IN THE BUCKET. (Not the best story ever told maybe, but it's a story.)

A powerful Irish rebel song that blends pride, resistance, and a deep sense of national identity. Sung in Irish, the title translates as “Cheer, you’re welcome home.” It was widely sung by members of the Irish Volunteers during the Easter Rising and later used as a fast marching song in the Irish War of Independence.
