That’s bollocks. I was at the centenary celebration of the Battle of Jutland in Scapa Flow last year and they were to a man extremely knowledgeable.

Thought that was The Zulus ? They had spears at Rorke’s Drift when Michael Caine beat them anyway, I know that for sure.

Yeah but it goes ‘like the zulus they (the arabs) has spears and bows and arrows’. Which is debateable. The zulus had rifles in that film.

The line is “Like Zulus they had spears and bow and arrows”

Like is the important word here.

He didn’t ‘beat you to it’. You were wrong. You should be ashamed of yourself.

That’s a fair point about the Arabs in that song. The historical accuracy of Wolfe Tones songs has often been questionable. I believe during the republican jail break alluded to in The Helicopter Song, down in the Dail they were actually pinting and hadn’t yet had either a gin or a brandy when the phone rang.

I’ve often wondered myself about some of these rebel songs. I reckon in the odd one or two of them, they somewhat glorified the events and are pretty far related from what actually happen.
