Thread Name: Irish ditty that plays on the word "done"
Subject: RE: Irish ditty that plays on the word
A distinction needs to be made between the traditional song, which has the chorus "There was low Dunne and high Dunne and under Dunne and over Dunne ... " which Cathal McConnell sings, and a parody, which relates to Ben Dunne's American espapades, uses some of Dunne's Stores (Irish Supermarket Chain) advertising slogans in a satirical way and alludes to Dunne's refusal to stock condoms. This parody was written by Fintan Vallely. There may be another parody by Cormac McConnell but I have never heard it. I could ring him and find out.
