Subject: ADD: Tuesday Night is Always Karaoke
Ho Mooman, do you know Anthony John Clarke's song "Tuesday Night is Always Karaoke" it's based on Enniscrone, is Enniscrone really as bad as that ?

The song starts

The wind blew so cold against the west coast of Ireland
Rita would not go into the water
picture the scene Mother, father icecream
huddled round their little sons and daughter
well the rain it cut right through it kept on falling down
I found myself a hotel bar in the harbour side of time
I said I'd play for nothing cos the tourist was in town
but Tuesday night is always Karaoke,Tuesday night is always Karaoke

There's only Karaoke up on Enniscrone
no whistles and no fiddles and the bodhran stay at home
I never heard a single mandolin or accordian groan
cos Tuesday night is always Karaoke
