So, I can tell it's St. Patrick's Day.

How can I tell? Because every other post is somebody with an amusing or touching video of Danny Boy. (The muppets were a nice touch, I must say. Every holiday needs more muppets.)

Only thing is... well... Danny Boy isn't actually an Irish song. It was written by an Englishman. In America. The tune, sure, that's Irish, but the words...? Not so much.

This wouldn't concern me at all except, frankly, the song is considerably overdone. Next year, everybody should pick a different song instead.

It's a pretty melody. And the words aren't that bad, I must admit. But over and over and over again? AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN? This is the true song that gets on my nerves.
