Not sure on the tune title, this comes up fairly often where I live. It's flitting on the fruitcake edge, but a fun tune nonetheless. I think Gavin may have recorded it but I can't remember.

Have I heard this on Moving Cloud's Foxglove CD? Could be wrong. If no one can verify or disclaim this, I'll check it when I get home from vacation tomorrow.
