Ah! Yes, I remember one of those lyrics about you!

Still I sing, bonnie boys, bonnie mad boys
Bedlam boys are bonnie
For they all go bare and they live by the air
And they want no drink nor money

Oh, she didn't miss those -- she was asking me about the traditional moves, which is beyond me. I don't do dance -- I do music.

Thanks for the other link -- I'll pass that on to her as well!

I wouldn't be surprised if she incorporates that into some choreography she's doing for her school's "international night."

Last year she just did some Irish Dance, but this year she is putting together a wider group to do a sort of "medley."

One more, this one only worth listening to for the dancing. This is a zagora folk song (Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro).

The lyrics of these songs are always hilarious. This one, for example, she sings about a man who is her Godfather pinching her bum and the guys say: Goodness, girl! Put some socks on! And she sings about how grass never grows where "My high heels" (Moja Stikla) have stepped.

There's some very authentic folk dancing in this - but made kind of modern. It's adorable. LOL

Tick-tock 'round half past two
You shall pinch me, but noone will see
I know well guys like you
The devils are your godfathers
Ring, ring, you shall ask for my number
Knock, knock, go and knock on some other girl's door
Sojka, girlie, do put on your little socks
For the grass has not yet sprouted
Where my high heel has trodden
Oy da da oy da oy da da da
Oy da da oy da
My high heel
(Speech: Sije sete, sije oto, sije nove, sije mine and again, baby, s s s seks, hop, hop, ring ring)
Tick-tock 'round half past two
You will nibble me, but noone will see
Golden ring, thin mustache
I know well guys like you
Ring, ring, you shall ask for my number
Shoo, shoo, go and run to some other girl
Sojka, girlie, do put on your little socks
For the grass has not yet sprouted
Where my high heel has trodden
Oy da da oy da oy da da da
Oy da da oy da
My high heel
