Bermuda Daily - Issue #8
I always though it sounds kinda piratish, but it is actually a very old folk song, probably as old as mid XIX century. There has been a few famous versions, one very well know by the Swedish band Rednex who partially rewritten it and changed eyed in eye :-) But I chose a different cover for Radio Bermuda, the one played by the electric violin of the Thailandese-British musician Vanessa Mae.
Radio Bermuda presents Cotton Eye Joe in the Vanessa Mae version from the 90s.
