I suspect sarcasm and although I do not know the words to The Fields of Athenrye. I have to say that there is nothing wrong with any song that can get someone's attention. So that the next song which has some meaning and depth given a chance to be heard by a wider audience.

Most of the songs that we care about have not received the hype and or the investment. Why? Because the media have little finance to gain by promoting traditional music "FOLK". Apart from two of the songs from my rapture that have recently appeared as jingles in TV adverts. I refer to "He's got Dad's pant's in the middle of his roll" and "You are my Sunshine". But don't ask me what they were advertising as I haven't the faintest idea.
