    Ok theres this music video from the early 90s thats popped into my head recently for some reason.I can't actually remember much about the song itself but I'm sure it was sort of dance /techno.The video had this very stereotypical looking Scotsman with long red beard and kilt doing a speeded up dance and I think he was sort of angry looking or making faces,a bit of a cross between Groundkeeper Willy from The Simpsons and the guy from that sweets ad " Hoots Mon!Theres Juice loose aboot this hoose".It might haver been copying the latter actually.

    All I can really remember about the song was that it had a sample of bagpipes on it.Can't remember how the tune went.

    Yes thats it!Jasus that fella is like the Maynard Wine Gums man on very illegal stimulants.I remember now as well the floating CGI bagpipes,probably considered very cutting edge when this came out but now looking very early 90s.

    I remember them,saw them at Feile 95 in Cork.I'm pretty sure they were on just before The Prodigy.

    I remember the original Scottish tune from the Maynard Wine Gums ad was on my Inter Cert music course. It's called A Hundred Pipers and not half as fun as the ad was.

    Ahhh...Fourth Dimension. I'd not thought of them in years. Kerry's answer to The Prodigy. Storm's on YouTube but I can't post the URL because I've not spammed Boards enough yet
