thetwangman Sammy Bar.. Irish version. (153* d) RE: Sammy Bar.. Irish version. 18 Jan 17


Charges of plagiarism, thieving and anti-English bigotry are completely ridiculous. The author was credited on the original album so I'm sure the band were well aware of the song's origins and never claimed it to be Irish. The tag 'Irish Music' on the album cover was probably a record company decision and no big deal in my opinion (even though it may have misinformed the YouTube uploader). Changing the words is less forgivable but it is no more anti-English than changing the words to Irish songs is anti-Irish.
