Flanders has BIG CRITTERS!

The "Bear Dance" is a real ear worm - I LOVE this catchy tune! 

This tune has spread all over, but originated in Flanders, possibly Medieval.  A simplified version is popular in the UK - many versions of this at thesession.org in Am, Em or Bm.  I've also included the meatier version - traditional Flemish, with the sheet music in Am. 

Laurel Swift plays the simplified version at one of her workshops - nice & slowly here:

Anahata plays this great traditional Flemish version on melodeon, here:

Sheet music and slow midi for the last video, in Am here:

...can't stay away from this one! 

Think it would pair nicely with "Scatter The Mud"
