As far as the guest who suggested this be discussed in a separate thread, I agree. It's enough thread creep, and is no longer about the Blarney Brothers or their CD, but about a specific song. "Go piss up a rope" is no way to respond to a polite suggestion.

Áine, Brendy, and whomever - I find this "talk-around" frustrating. I'd suggest that we discuss the song when we have the song to discuss, but I'm not in charge of the world. As it is, we have a few people talking about something that's a secret to be kept from the rest of us. I'd probably feel similar to you about the song, but at this point, I'm very irritated at the people who are treating the lyrics as insider-information and some big secret. I don't like people making up my mind for me, and haven't since I was a kid with my parents telling me "you won't like that." They were often right, but at least they gave me the option of finding out for myself.
