My honeymoon in Ireland was taken with two other people and my husband. One of the other people decided it would be fun to sing the relevant song about any part of Ireland we went through (they were a predominently Irish music band, despite none of them actually being Irish). It was OK going through Dublin, The Bridge at Athlone was a bit wearing, Athenry was positively horrid. Crossing the Shannon I had my nose in a book and ignored the world in general. Lisdoonvarna (yes, we went to a marriage market town for our honeymoon....) got tedious, Galway repetative, but going through Limerick - well, lots of you have seen some of my repertoire of limericks.... God was smiling upon me that day, they just would not stop... rhyme after rhyme, some clean, some not so clean, one or two positively filthy, they just kept pouring out.. So much so that the person whose idea the game was couldn't get to remember the words of 'Limerick, you're a lady'. Strangely enough, we never played the game after that day......

Have managed to coincide several hymn tunes with the villages they were named for, but that was me singing them myself. Does that count??
