Jeely Piece Song: Matt McGinn 

I remember singing this back when I was a kid....also got to see the Singing Kettle perform it live...totally awesome.

WE SANG THIS IN PRIMARY SCHOOL 50YRS AGO , IT'S AN AULD AULD SONG LOL

I'm singing it in a week for my assembly

MAGIC, BRINGS BACK GREAT MEMORIES

Ah, the memories of singing along to this when my family were drunk at a New Year's party. Good times.

Amen! I *loved* this song from the first time I heard it on telly - it became my party piece!

No just pieces, we used to shout up for money for the icey then try to catch it, I'm surprised none of us got injured or killed. x :)

matt McGinn is the man. lol. his music always reminds me of my childhood and my kids will know it too lol.

pure dead brilliant, brings back memories, bug time

This was one of my favourite songs to listen to and sing to ever since I was in primary school!

ma mum sung this tae me!! good auld scots song!

As has been stated before the 'Jeely Piece song' was written by Adam McNaughton - another of his classics is 'Where is the Glasgow that ah used tae know'. Big Adam was my English Teacher at Rutherglen Academy in1968-69. The Rutherglen Academy Ballads Club was quite something then -the late Norman Buchan had a hand in it too, I think. Last saw Adam in his wee book shop in Parnie Street but thats a load a years ago now

I remember singing this as a concert in grade 5.. good old days 7 years ago this was the shit with my good old teacher, Mr Findlay😂😂

Am fae Dundee but this is jus class I can see where the likes o the big yin got his patter fae - brilliant gan yersel Glesga

@Thisnameistaken11 I do not cast pearls unto swine, or elegant prose to the philistine!

Billy Connolly songs

coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

What ya think of this

Love the song!!!!!!!hate the vid

I never understand why Scottish performers sing in such a broad Scottish accent that I can't understand it. I'm sure this song might be interesting, but I just can't be bothered. Dick Goughan is the same - brilliant musician, but he might as well be singing in Chinese. Some presenters on telly are almost indecipherable as well. The Welsh, Irish, Cornish and Newcastle presenters don't do it. Why do the Scots think it important to be unintelligible to other nations by retaining the breadth of their accents? Perhaps they don't want English people to listen to them. I don't have a problem with Billy Connelly, or the Proclaimers; I think they tone it down a bit in order to communicate properly.

no,he just copied matt mcginns style of music

Jesus...nothing more cringeworthy than someone painstakingly trying to translate a Glasgow dialect into text form.
