The Scotsman (live) - Bryan Bowers - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"The Scotsman" by Bryan Bowers is a humorous folk song written by Mike Cross and popularized by Bryan Bowers' 1980 recording. This track became widely recognized through its frequent play on the comedy radio program The Dr. Demento Show, where it quickly became a fan favorite. The song tells a lighthearted story about a Scotsman who, after a night of drinking, falls asleep in public, only to be discovered by two curious young women. They lift his kilt to see if the rumor about Scotsmen wearing nothing underneath is true, and the ensuing hilarity ensues when they leave a humorous note and a bow as a prank. The song's lyrics, filled with witty observations and playful banter, contribute to its enduring appeal. Musically, Bryan Bowers' rendition of "The Scotsman" is notable for its simple yet engaging melody, often accompanied by his autoharp, though the song itself doesn't heavily feature this instrument. Bryan Bowers, an acclaimed autoharp player, has been credited with bringing this traditional instrument to new audiences through his engaging performances and recordings.
