The original tune, “Mr. and Mrs. McLaughlin of San Diego” and the strathspey tune “Marjorie Easton McLaughlin” were composed as a gift for Marjorie and Richard McLaughlin for their wedding on the 18th of January 1992, at which Muriel was a surprise guest, at the appropriate moment emerging from an automatic dishwasher box.   

The lively music seemed to match the nature of the recipients and the dance is written in the same vein, as Richard frequently expresses a preference for fast moving, good going dances!

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.

Recordings whose titles are in italics are not explicitly linked to this dance but have been identified by the database based on the type, bar count, and recommended tune(s) of the dance.
