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.

I have not yet managed to mentally dissociate Danny Boy from the "Oh, Danny Boy, Danny Boy, Danny Boy" section in Tubthumping.
