A Call For Help

Help!

For years now, I’ve been lambasting the song, “Here Come The Irish.” Not so much because of its musical merits, but because of what I understood to be the genesis of the song (read: it was commissioned by those concerned with the “branding/marketing” of ND). But I’ve recently been presented with a very different story.

So I turn to you, millions of readers, to set me straight. Either share the “real story” in the comments section, or e-mail us at the address over on the right. I don’t want to spend time blasting away at something that doesn’t deserve it when we live in a world so full of so many and so much that is so deserving.

Muchos Gracias.

    I happen to like the song. It is a bit trite, but catchy.

    Excellent song, but best accompanied with bag pipes and a highlight real. I expect NBC to capitalize on this song before the USC game when the Irish enter the colliseum as the greatest turn around team of the last decade or two.
