Oops, Sorry, if I stepped in it. I'm a Yankee and I admit that I don't know British bands from Irish bands. I'm kinda uncertain whether to use British when I mean English or not. So is what you guys and gals over the pond saying is that this is a British band {English? band} that included a traditional Irish phrase in the song "Come on Eileen"? Did I get that right?

What about the beginning of that song? Is that beginning part traditional Irish?

Ruth, with regard to the word "jigging" that you used in your 10:32 AM post, what does "jigging" mean? Dancing? Flirting? Men trying to get a feel on {ladies?}

It's interesting that you used that word because in another Mudcat thread last night I put on my arm-chair etymologist hat and asked about another Mudcatters' use of the phrase get jiggy. That exchange begins on that thread here
