HISTORY AND SONG NOTES

Cucanandy is a folksong from Ireland. The origins of this song are unclear, but it is believed to be a “baby dandling” song, or a song where you might gently and playfully bounce a baby on your knee. In some texts, you may find the word Cucanandy written in Gaelic as Cuaichin Aindi; the text of this song does not have a literal translation, and is believed to be nonsense sounds.
