Frankie went to town on this...

From Frankie (Gavin) Goes To Town... first tune, first time around. Frankie tears through this at warp speed, and I still love it, though playing at earth-bound speed. I searched, and couldn't find it under any other name. Maybe more experienced players or scholars might have done...
