Virtually (possibly every) variation of the bagpipes sounds different.

The Scottish Great Highland bagpipe is well known, but people have played bagpipes for centuries throughout large parts of Europe, North Africa, West Asia, around the Persian Gulf and northern parts of South Asia.
It blew up in 2018 or 2019 when they first released the single, so much so that they delayed releasing their album, The Gereg so they could ensure it lived up to expectations.
They recently released a song for One Piece maybe that is driving them in the algorithms again.
They are a band I listen to regularly, and something I have been meaning to post here. But almost everything I listen to is not in English so I have to space out everything.
The beat with the yuve yuve yu just makes your head move. Anyone that can resist that is inhuman.

I also mentioned it to the piefed devs hoping for something backend but have not heard anything back about it.
Tämä on tosi hyvä laula.
There are some great versions of this song.
Vodka is one of their greatest hits, some other good ones include Tequila, Jagermeister, and Beer, Beer!.

For 60 years we fought for our tradition
An art nearly forgotten, our practice almost lost
The suppression of our tōhunga, suppressed by the crown
Our moko protected us from your hateWe are the people who wear moko
You don’t understand
The story in our markings
The story of our ancestors
We are the people who wear mokoYou displayed our skin as spectacle
We have taken back our tradition, revived by a criminal world
Your judging eyes try to hurt us
But our moko protects us from your hateWe are the people who wear moko
You don’t understand
The story in our markings
The story of our ancestors
We are the people who wear moko
Wear moko
We are the people who wear moko
Restore our manaWho are we!
We are the people who wear moko
You don’t understand
The story in our markings
The story of our ancestors!We are the people who wear moko
You don’t understand
The story in our markings
The story of our ancestors
We are the people who wear mokoSavage, monkey, stone age, backwards No!
Who are we!
We are the people who wear moko
We are the people who wear moko

Somehow Arizona and Hawai’i have figured out how to make it work.
During winter months of the year, school children end up having to go out to their bus stops while it’s still pitch black dark
I had to do that as a kid. No one seemed to care.
