BOGADH FAOI SHÚSA (Motion Under a Blanket). AKA - "Bugga Fee Hoosa" (Englished title). Irish, Hop Jig (9/8 time). E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCA'A'B'B' DDEEFFGGHH. "Bogadh Faoi Shúsa" is similar to the well-known and popular slip jig "Kid on the Mountain (1) (The)," covering the same melodic material (as does the similar "Spatter the Dew (2)"). "A favorite Munster dance-tune. In Standford-Petrie there is a tune with this title, consisting of two short parts, which, although in the same measure as this (9/8), can hardly be considered as the same air. The version given here (in eight parts) from Mr. Deasy (through the Cork musician and music collector William Forde, c.1795–1850) is the one universally known in Munster" [Joyce]. Joyce declined to translate the bawdy title.
