    The Drunken Virgin Jig Set--This is six pieces for the price of one.  It starts off with Hawke singing the Irish folk song Moonshiner, which is the first song Hawke and Cedric played together, incidentally.  While the last chord is still ringing, the Bards launch into a medley of the fiddle tune Irish Washerwoman with An Old Cliche Revisited, a filk song in which Cedric poses the question which has plagued dragonologists for years, "Do virgins taste better than girls who are not?"  The piece finishes off with some Irish session tunes:  Swallowtail Jig, Road to Lisdoonvarna, and Morrison's Jig.

    Beat Me--Often a songwriter gains inspiration from a fair lady;  what does this say about the woman who inspired Ramon Fallenstar's immortal chorus: "O, lassie, come beat me, come beat me / O, lassie come tie me up, too / O, lassie, come beat me, come beat me / We've no' done it right if we're not black and blue"?  The Bedlam Bards recording of Beat Me is the only one commercially available.  Joyce had to tie down Ramon (well, almost) to get him to sing it into a tape recorder so Cedric and Hawke could learn it. Juxtaposing high culture with smut, the Bards throw a lovely mandola/guitar rendition of the Playford dance tune Grimstock in between verses of this song.

    Black Leather Band explores the joys of bondage and sado-masochism.  This is one of the most requested songs in the Bedlam Bard repertoire.
