"Oh No, Not the Fields of Athenry If I hear it one more time I think I'll Cry They should Ban the bloody thing there are better songs to sing I'm so fed up with the Fields of Athenry"! Cllr, and Hilary, The Parody "Oh No not the fields of Athenry " was written by the inimitable Malcolm Austen, and if he is Ok with It I will post the full words here later, apparently the song grew out of a chance remark made by Malcolms SO Moira (Craig) on a tour in Ireland, where, apparently, everywhere they went someone sang " fields of Athenry". Malcolm also told me that his parody gets very "black and white respnses", people either Love it or Hate it, NO middle ground!!!! I have noticed similar when I have sung it!!
