Accordions And Bagpipes In Popular Music

[scotchandcigar]

OK now it's their turn; post the best Rock and Pop music containing one of these air-bladder instruments. I'll start:

We can't have a list like this without the king of the accordion -
Weird Al Yankovic – Another One Rides The Bus


Here's a recent pop hit with accordion -
Kongos – Come With Me Now


These guys have both an accordion and a banjo -
Dropkick Murphys – I’m Shipping Up to Boston


And of course, the bagpipe rock classic -
AC/DC – It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘n Roll)

Bandleader Lawrence Welk hosted a musical variety show that aired from 1951 to 1955 on KTLA-Channel 5 in Los Angeles, from 1955 to 1971 on the ABC Television network and from 1971 to 1982 in syndication. In December 1957, Stan Freberg had a #32 hit with Wun'erful, Wun'erful!, a parody of The Lawrence Welk Show. It also featured Peggy Taylor, legendary voice actor Daws Butler.....and Billy Liebert imitating Welk's accordion playing (and even playing an occasional wrong note). In the parody, Alice Lon became Alice Lean, Larry Hooper became Larry Looper, Rocky Rockwell became Stony Stonewell and the Lennon Sisters became the Lemon Sisters. "Help! Help! Somebody turn off the bubble machine!"

A guy that knows how to play the bagpipes....

Bagpipes are great social distancing instruments.

Before social distancing was cool.

Here is a song which does have an accordion hidden in it.
