The title comes from endless walks around odd corners of my local neighbourhood during Covid lockdowns. An architecturally uninspiring housing estate is adorned with some striking murals. One of these is a surreal adaptation of Wordsworth's famous "I wandered lonely as a cloud" poem where the "golden daffodils" are replaced by "shimmering flamingos".
Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (4). 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.
