GUEST,Learaí na Láibe Good Songs You're Sick Of (115* d) RE: Good Songs You're Sick Of 21 Feb 15

I just came across this almost 11 year old thread by accident while researching a song. Some of the songs mentioned remain as overdone as ever.

However, I only ever remember hearing one singer singing "Dancing with Bears". I don't think it's overdone in Rebel Cork.

I also haven't heard "Roddy McCorley" for years, it's been replaced by the much inferior "Seán South". I'd say many younger people wouldn't even recognise "Roddy McCorley".

"Caledonia" seems to be sung every night by some singer in every bar in every county in Ireland in the last few years. Sometimes you'll hear it twice in the same night. It appears to be the default song for many females. That song can also be included in the list of "Irish songs that are not Irish at all".

Lovely song nevertheless, but.........
