If you mean the Eric Bogle song, use the forum search to look up Bogle parody threads. we had some last year. And there's some in the DT too, I believe.

Crawford Howard of Belfast wrote a parody about the demand of drunken punters in pubs that anyone who sing must know the Eric Bogle song and if a performance is not forthcoming, their tendency to sing it themselves. Fintan Vallely "improved" the parody.

Stephen L Suffet wrote a version where Willy replies, objecting to being told that he and his comrades knew not why they fought.
