The version in <<ddpub:The Kiwi Book#695>> specifies the music as Calver Lodge. The earlier publication in <<ddpub:The Red Book#757>>  proposes <<ddrec:Kenmure's On and Awa'#930>>.

The introduction to <<ddpub:The Red Book#757>> says *the title comes from the T.V. series 'The Black Adder' and the immortal lines 'I have a plan so cunning you could pin a tail on it and call it a weasel'.*

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.
