It's.... OVER NINE THOUSAND
I have no idea if this is intentional, but I do find it ridiculously funny that there is a section of a Wikipedia article labelled 'Over 9000'.
The article in question is the Roud Folk Song Index which is kind of staggering in its length. Over nine thousand indeed.
It's kind of interesting going through and clicking on song names that are interesting too. My favourite so far has been Lady Isabel and the Elf Knight which is awesome, because the titular lady kicks ass.
Another one that was delightfully diversionary was Sweet Polly Oliver, which I recognised of course from Monstrous Regiment and had fun looking at all the Female Wartime Crossdressers. *proceeds to list all the ones she likes* Ulrika Eleonora Stålhammar, Deborah Sampson, Christian Cavanagh/Kit Cavanagh, Maria van Antwerpen and finally, one that's a bit weird Enrique Favez.
I have to say, I'm particularly amused by the fact that quite a few got military pensions and several were praised for 'preserving their chastity' during service.
And, somehow, I ended up looking at macaroni penguins.
