Another thread that went to Hell. I read it through hoping to find songs, but most contributors just filled it with their 2-bit opinions. The IRA songs with humorous content (or without) are important to social history and thought (gee! that sounds pedantic). They teach us about the past and present from the viewpoint of the little guy on one side of the conflict. They are a means of dealing with our emotions and give us a chance to let off steam. I now wonder if there are similar songs from the other side- don't recall any.
