AIKEN DRUM [1]. The title is taken from a Scottish folksong or nursery rhyme that begins:
There was a man lived in the moon,
Lived in the moon, lived in the moon;
There was a man lived in the moon,
And his name was Aiken Drum.
Aiken played a ladle as a musical instrument, and his clothing was adorned with various food objects. Versions of the song have also been collected in North America. The song may originally derive from a Jacobite song ("Will ye go to Sherrifmuir") from the early 18th century, which has a burden of 'Aikendrum, aikendrum'. Yet another early version tells of a recruit named Aikendrum, who adorns himself with various food objects.
