Unfortunately this song has gone the way of "Streets of London" and has been done to death. Consequently, I squirm in my seat every time I hear it these days.. as I do also with "no-man's land" . Its a pity as both are good songs. I'm sure the Wild Rover was ok once but there is a limit to how often you can sit through something. What doesn't help I guess is that all are usually sung very badly by the finger in the ear brigade, who seem to think that a good song is all that matters and not how its sung.
