The deviser writes that "all the 'twirls' in the dance are piglet tails. Some people have since added 'tails' for the first couple as they wait on the sides during the chain (as in Hooper's Jig). This adds to the enjoyment." The dance is inscribed "for Dagmar who, with her husband Hermann, runs a pig farm."
Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (8). A yellow background means a recording with one of the recommended tunes but a non-standard number of repetitions. Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.
