Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Skinny Lizzie' song from Belfast area?
Okay, the band is Thin Lizzy - but you got me curious, so I "did my own research" - Wiki says: "The name came from an idea by Bell about a robot character in The Dandy called Tin Lizzie,[21] which they adjusted to Thin Lizzy as a playful reference to the local Dublin accent, in which "thin" would be pronounced as "t'in".[22][23][24]".
