Thread Name: BS: Can you identify this tune?
Subject: RE: BS: Can you identify this tune?
Look Guys,
This is a serious request for a friend of mine who does not have access to a computer but was with me the night we were out celebrating a wake for his father, which was when we heard the song I am asking about.
His father's brother, who also with us that night in his powered wheelchair, was run over by a bus on his way home, and is now asking my friend on his deathbed - no, that's the brother of the now deceased father of my friend who is on his deathbed, that is - and would like us to sing the song at his wake, which will be not too far in the future.
They have taken off his legs now - so there isn't much need for the accompanying dance - of course he couldn't walk before - which is why he was in the powered wheelchair that night. Unfortunately he had a few too many ales with us and tried to beat the bus across the road, but his batteries expired in the middle of the road, as he nearly did.
I know you guys have coped with some pretty clueless song requests in the past, so my friend wants you to help him with this totally clueless one!
