Jig-a-Jig is British folk metal group Skyclad's third limited edition EP. It was made available through the band's website and at gigs only. [1] This EP features Skyclad's cover version of "Jig-a-Jig" by East of Eden and three tracks from the A Semblance of Normality recording sessions, originally planned for a single in 2004/2005 that was never released.
The title of track #3, "They think it's all over", is a well known quotation popular in England. It is taken from Kenneth Wolstenholme's BBC TV commentary in the closing moments of the 1966 World Cup, where England beat West Germany 4-2 after extra time to win the FIFA World Cup. The song includes several references to the '66 World Cup.
Track 4 "The Roman Wall Blues" is a setting of the W. H. Auden poem of the same title.
