Henrik Curse of Poguery (50) RE: Curse of Poguery 14 Aug 97

The McCalmans recorded a song called "Who put the mush?" some years ago - it's a song that asks why so many folk songs contain nonsense like "mush-aring-dama", "whack-fol-de-da" etc. One of the lines goes

"Who put The Pogues in The Irish Rover?"

- a not-so-serious-but-still-not-altogether-off-target comment about The Pogues: They're a great band, but they are not _THE_ folk band (actually they're probably not even a "pure" folk band - whatever that is :-).

Regards,

Henrik
