What's at issue here isn't the dread Val Doonican but the song. Unfortunately Christy Moore doesn't seem to have recorded it, so if Vibeke wants the words the Doonican route seems most likely to lead to it. There's probably a sheet music version out somewhere.

If we have to abandon songs because the wrong fella sings them, we'll lose a lot of good songs.

And bring back Joseph Locke any time.

Actually, I flash on a vision of a Father Ted episode that never happened in which Joseph Locke and Val Doonican would come to Craggy Island, for a concert with Shane McGowan.
