I see that this thread is now mature enough to include links to songs in the DT -- yet I can think of several that are left out. What spurs a link? Is it automatic, based on keywords? Or some MudElf's manual imput?

Hm. In any case, if I mention a specific song, it's gotta help establish a top link, right?

So: It's not just what you're born with by Si Kahn (Great song, though personally, I think it's last verses are a weakness, and it's self-consciously modern, so outside the scope of the blog I'm working on)

Old woman from Wexford (Woman deliberately feeds her husband a meal to make him blind)

Mrs. McGrath (Son returns from war with two prosthetic legs).

Johnny, I hardly knew ye (Husband returns from war a "basket case")
