I vaguely remember a song with bagpipes in it I think... I think its bagpipes, it always liked it, but could never remember its title or much about it... any help? Maybe it was whistling instead of bagpipes...

You're kidding, right? How could anyone possibly figure this one out. Give us some real info if you want a realistic answer.

I cant, that's all I can remember of it, but it was very catchy

Any idea how long ago? Paul McCartney did Mull of Kintire 1977and that had bagpipe music.

Why oh why did you have to bring up Mull of Kintire?. it took me 25 years to get that song outa my head! LOL

Ummm I don't think it was the sort of song you snap fingers, more the kind you whistle along to.
I remember hearing it on the radio (I live in australia) multiple times, so it must have been on the charts I guess, I can't imagine that thered be many songs like this on aussie radio.
p.s- cool name NorCal68

There isn't much to go on.
Could it be Winchester Cathedral?
Don't know what it has to do with bagpipes though but it was a catchy whistling song.
How many years ago did you hear it?

Just a thought: Any chance you can call the radio station and ask someone about the song?

What's the genre of music?

I feel like there should be a prize to whoever figures the mystery out first!

Not quite sure why getting 'mull of Kintire' out of your head essential for your sanity, haha.

Well let's see... as I vaguely recall, it was a never-ending-droning kind of slow thing. And when I was the manager of a broadcast station in Colorado, we had a new DJ who was all revved up to do a great job in our rock-oriented station: Very first song he plays for his station debut? Yep! Mull of Kintire! Thought I was going to have a stroke! LOL
... and that's part of the reason for my reply!.

I feel like there should be a prize to whoever figures the mystery out first!

Just a thought: there's a Paranormal section on this site... maybe we could enlist the aid of a qualified Psychic! LOL...

Long Way to the Top - ACDC

Bon Scott's mother lives in Perth too (Perth is in Western Aus where he / she is from people). That is the most famous song I know that has bagpipes and was probably played on a radio station you would listen to.

Was it The Animals... Sky Pilot? That has a bridge in it with bagpipes.
Is it a classic rock song you're thinking of?

List of nontraditional bagpipe usage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nontraditional_bagpipe_usage)
Hey... Here is a list of where bagpipes have been used in "non-traditional" music. Includes some of the songs mentioned above.

Thanks, ill check out the wiki thing and all the mentioned songs and ill see if any ring a bell. Sorry if I haven't been able to provide much info, though keep in mind, if I had a lot of info on it, I probably wouldn't need to ask the question.

Is dropkick murphys played over there? They have loads of bagpipes in their music.

You assume I know who dropkick murphys are? Ill look into it

Long way to the top.that is the song.:) :)

It is "long way to the top". That is the song title

Long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll? You sure? Isn't that ac/dc or something?

Hey my friend, try any lyrics website or search "lyrics" on any engine as well as just searching the specific lyrics themselves in the engine or on something like limewire as well. Many results that match will come up with those lyrics but it helps you get closer to finding the artist and song name. Many other people have the same problem and will often POST a song under the name of the chorus or most popular line or repeated line in the song ex: Metallica's "Enter Sandman" can be found by searching the words "exit light enter night take my hand" on any search or download engine - hope it helps - BMAC
ALSO - POPULAR SONG BY KORN - SHOOTSS AND LADDERS Starts WITH BAGPIPES

This is by far one of the funniest things I've ever read - LONG WAY TO THE TOP IF YOU WANT A SAUSAGE ROLL?! - I AM SO STEALING THAT! (HAHAHAHA)

Ummmm bobby mac... that sausage roll thing is quite old lol...

You're in western Australia and I'm in South Florida! Give me a break!

Lol... true, also I'm a teenager :) its where these things circulate lol, well mostly among kids younger than me lol.

Uhm... korn, shoots and ladders? Maybe.. I don't know...

Every beat of my heart by Rod Stewart, it has bagpipes at the end of it.

The song I think is John Farnham - 'You're The Voice'. After seeing the movie 'Hot Rod' I had to look it up too. :)

Try downloading this one: DJ Steffan Egger - Hevia Melody

Ho and: Busindre Reel - Hevia

Google ac/dc

Maybe "Copperhead Road" by Steve Earle?

-or-
"Under the Milky Way" by The Church
"Sky Pilot" by The Animals
"I'll Be There" by The Escape Club? (not bagpipes)
Closer to whistling sound

Google paul mccartney... of kintire

Whistling... hmmm... I GOT IT!
The Andy Griffith Show theme song!! LOL

Thank you all for your help with this question, it is much appreciated, and it is great to receive all these helpful answers.
However, I feel that it is probably time for this thread to close or something, as it has gone on for a long time now.
Thank you all for the answers, I didn't find out what the song is (but I had a lot of fun listening to all the songs you wonderful people suggested )

It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Want to Rock 'n' Roll) ACDC??

I reely hope this helps/ if you even read it, but you "were" probably thinking of icky thump, by the white stripes, its hard to get any pieces of the lyrics unless you listen to it a lot, but the white stripes guitarwork always stay with you

And, it was posted on vevo the same day u posted this lol

You might be thinking of a Scottish group call "Big County".
But it's not bag pipes, the only made the bagpipe sound from his guitar.

I don't no how to put comment but is it Scorpions - Wind Of Change my fav song ever lol
