Subject: RE: What makes a new song a folk song?
Ok. Time to re-genre my iTunes.

Smoke on the water -Deep Purple, that's a folk song.

Scarborough Fair - Martin Carthy, not any longer it isn't.

Hurry up Harry -Sham 69, possible? Of the people and all that.

Too drunk to fuck - Dead Kennedys, the song isn't, the band are though by definition.

198,567 to go...
