The Zeppelin - A Humorous Hornpipe
I was skimming through the Scott Skinner link and can accross this rather silly tune. It was written during WWI with the instructions that the "audience clap their hands in imitation of Allied shots brining down the Monster" on the double staccato notes in every fourth bar. I don't know the ABC notation for audience hand claps - sorry
It's actually a fun tune and I like the bit in the B part where the Zeppelin has clearly been shot down. I also never realised that Zeppelins could fly so fast
