Just for fun: ITM tunes that aren't, but should be ...

I'm gonna go against Jeremy's rule of no abc in discussions, and see what happens. I heard a tune on the radio recently and thought, "Gee - that's a nice riff -- should be ITM . . .". (Don't ask me why I was listening to a station that would play *that* - I really don't remember)

This would make a great start to a reel. Who wants to be the first to "Name that tune"?
Anyone wanna finish it?

M: 4/4
L: 1/8
R: reel
K: Emin

And here's a great one that's a classic ("A" phrase only).

M:6/8
L:1/8
R: jig
K:D
A,|D2F AFD|E2G B2A|^GAd B2=G|E3 z2A,|D2F AFD|E2G B2A|^GAd AFC|D3-D2:|


Anyone else got one? (And, no, Jack, "Pop Goes the Weasel" doesn't count :-) ).

That first riff is great fun to play on the fiddle, tho I get shaking heads and groans from my mates. I'll not name it, though I suspect some of our friends from Oz might.

You must be on a Crazy Train to think that would make a good reel, Wally! I think this tune would be Super as a slide though, Man.
(Hope I didn't mess up the notation. I'm at school with no way of checking it.)

M: 6/8
L: 1/8
R: Slide
K: Amaj
