A guilty pleasure of mine, rock tunes with bagpipes!

I love 'em, if they are played correctly, of course.

Tribute to Malcolm Young too.

Any other tunes that include bagpipes?

It sounds absurd to most people, but it really works.

fell in love permanently. I listen to a lot of Celtic music and just plain bagpipe music. I have never heard a song or piece of music that I did not like when it has bagpipes in it.

It sounded like it, as I recall, although it may have been done with a synthesizer.

Also--Paul McCartney's Mull of Kintyre, I think (not sure)

Nov 2017

A guy moves into his dorm room and meets his roommate.

The roommate says he's in a band.
The guy thinks *rock n roll girls party*

The roommate asks if he might want to go to shows and if the band can practice in the room.
*rock n roll girls party* the guy thinks. "Sure" he says.

Then he asks the roommate "What instrument do you play?"
The roommate says "We all play the same instrument"

"Huh? What instrument is that?" The guy asks
and the roommate says "Bagpipes"
