Thread Name: Origins: Fair and Easy vs Kick the Pope
Subject: RE: Origins: Fair and Easy vs Kick the Pope
There's quite a treatise on "Kick the Pope (before us) on a Website called James Joyce online notes. Apparently, Joyce referred to "Kick the Pope" in Ulysses (1922). One entry on the James Joyce online notes referred to "Kick the Pope before us" (the Orange soubriquet for "Garryowen").
I get the impression that "Kick the Pope" and "Garryowen" are generally thought to have different melodies, but I can't say that I know, myself.
