Thread Name: Most annoying song requests
Subject: Most annoying song requests
After several blowout weekends of a zillion gigs leading up to St Patrick's day, Irish musicians around here are, I'm sure, enjoying a bit of peace and quiet. For those of you ceolers who play on a regular basis, what are THE most annoying song requests that you get? Ours is that stupid Unicorn song by O'Shel McSilverstein, and we never play it; it's painful enough playing Finnegan's Wake and not rolling our eyes when the audience plays oh-look-who-kept-clapping-after-the-chorus.

I'm actually trying to _ceol_ out there. Tossing pearls before swine, like. Doesn't Christy Moore sing a song about it? But at least in any given pub audience there are three or so people who pay attention to what I'm doing and comment later, thank Christ.

No friggin Unicorns.
