Thread Name: Alt. names for folk songs.
Subject: RE: Alt. names for folk songs.
"I wonder why no-one does that for Star Spangled Banner which is in no-one's vocal range." Which is why an American friend of no fixed abode calls it 'The Bar Strangled Spanner'....

There are three names for every song or tune. There's the English name, the Irish name and the one the rest of the world knows it as.
