Jacut was a 5th-century Cornish Saint who worked in North-west France.
His father was Fragan, a prince of Dumnonia, and his mother Gwen Teirbron. The young family had fled to Britany to avoid the plague raging in Cornwall at that time, and so grew up in Ploufragan near Saint-Brieuc with his brothers, Winwaloe and Wethoc and a sister, Creirwy. He was educated by Budoc of Dol on the Île Lavret near Paimpol, and as an adult he founded churches in Brittany.
Today he is memorialised in the towns of Saint-Jacut-les-Pins, Saint-Jacut-du-Mené, Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer and the Abbey of Saint-Jacut in that town.

I wanna be honest more than I know how
I wanna be honest more than I know how
So honest I'll surprise myself
Surprise me now, surprise me nowt
Ooh, I'm scared I'm afraid I'm not afraid

Rip off my dog tags
Sleep in the funny farm
Shed my hospital gown

Eyi Eyi Eyi Eyi Oh
Shed. . .
I wanna dance more than I know how

So simple I'll surprise my sow
Surprise me now, surprise me nowt
Ooh, I'm scared I'm afraid I'm not afraid
I'm a terminal optimistake
Rip off my dog tags
Sleep in the funny farm
Shed my hospital gown
Old MacDonald has a car alarm
Eyi Eyi Eyi Eyi Oh
