There'll be a Welcome in the Hillside...

[MST3Claye]

In the early episodes, when it seemed like the trio weren't getting hospitality or being welcomed in the Cafe, they'd break out into this song. I'd always get a chuckle when this happened. I've never heard this song before, till after I actually looked it up and listened to it.. I know it's a popular Welsh folk (or spiritual song). Just thought I'd mention it as one of the things that would give a chuckle from the show..

I even sing it myself whenever I'm in a similar situation!

I do believe that actually the words are:
"We'll keep a welcome in the hillside
We'll keep a welcome in the vales...."

Interestingly not one you hear at the Millennium Stadium on a match day.
There has always been a bit of controversy over it as explained by Welsh friends years ago. It seems it originated in Monmouthshire and to some Welsh, that county is really England (Henry V was born in Monmouth, hence Henry of Monmouth). But then again, I could be lying.

Often used on radio in "I'm sorry I'll read that again" which was well known for its puns - We'll kipper whelk come in the eel-side..... when they tried to achive the record for fish jokes in a minute!
