PB: Interesting that you mentioned you wanted to avoid material that was derogatory to Irish.
Are the Irish sensitive about songs that stereotype them? You wouldn't think so, judging from the reaction (or lack of it) to my thread Lyr Add: Irish songs about balls, wakes, soirees [etc.] I posted the lyrics to dozens of comical songs there, that portray Irish people (or Irish-Americans) getting drunk and fighting at parties. No one complained about the stereotyping, although I specifically invited people to comment on it. Maybe no one was paying attention, or maybe nobody cares. Or maybe the Irish sense of humor appreciates this kind of song. I wish I knew.
