Grace was fine until it was "discovered " and murdered by every second cunt at a sing song. Itās the new Caledonia.

Is my beloved Beeswing in danger of going the same way?
Itās not at that level yet, has the likes of Ed Sheerin covered it?
I was walking out to Salthill the June bank holiday Sunday night to go to Lonergans. I passed the Sliding Rock and they were belting it out inside. I wretched. A couple of hundred yards up the road I passed Cookeās. They were also belting out āGraceā inside. I wretched some more.
This was a very hot evening and I had a stye in my eye and a @Piles_Hussain up my hole, so I was probably already wretching, but the āmusicalā backdrop made the whole experience so much worse.
āGraceā should be banned from every Irish pub. The song itself should be banned full stop and any person who tries to sing it should be taken out, carted into a Garda van, transferred to Kilmainham Gaol and summarily executed by the British Parachute Regiment.

Itās a lovely heartbreaking story that deserves a better song.

My Lovely Rose Of Clare should also be consigned to the dustbin of history.
I enjoy Grace and do my best not to listen to talentless cunts singing it
Declan Hannon does a lovely "Caledonia "

Is that the stupid version where he changes the words?
The only man part of that Limerick set-up who can sing is Mr. Kiely who does a great version of Piano Man.
All down to the Green Brigade for the popularity the past 10 years of Grace sadly.
It got a lot of airing around the time of the 1916 centenary and was picked up by a few popular singers.

Itās a grand song if you never hear it live
Certain songs should get a particular type of copyright that outright bans buskers and their ilk from singing them
Agreed. I would include the beautiful lovely Laois in this as youāll no doubt learn over the coming years.
