Don McClean appeared on Irish TV ("The Late, Late Show")many years ago and sang his version. The song was well hackneyed by then (Irish people tended to sigh resignedly or head for the loo if someone started to sing it) and his version, with some changes from the original, refreshed it nicely, changing the prism through which we see a well-worn song.
