I don't think anyone is suggesting it's a 'fakesong'.

Well, Lighter came pretty close in his post of 16 May 2006 - 10:07 PM and there's been a few qualitative judgements on it, not least by comparing it to something it en't, rather appreciating it for what it is (and your own Have yer got a loit, boy? isn't exactly helpful). Even in the curmudgeonly world of Mudcat, one doesn't expect to be called an arse-hole just for seeking an appreciation and a more credible provenance for a what is, in any case, a very fine song.
