Please! Please! Not another stupid song parody?
YES!!!!!!
Oh, Donnie Bird, the sandpipers, the sandpipers are cawing
From Glen to Dale, and Biff ‘down by the river side.’
Tis summer’s gone, and all the leaves are falling,
Tis you, tis you must go. And me?
Commit suicide!
But “come on down” when summer’s in the meadow,
Or when Glen’s stoned, white cocaine on his beak,
Tis I’ll be here whether with Sonny or that hot stripper Stormy Feathers,
Oh, Donnie Bird, Oh, Donnie Bird, we do Coo and Love you so!
For Sure!
He Twas Never Imperched!

Some History Please:
In Bath, Somerset in 1910, English lawyer & lyricist Frederic Weatherly initially wrote the words to “Danny Boy” to a tune other than “Londonderry Air,” after his Irish-born sister-in-law Margaret, (known as Jess) in the United States sent him a copy of “Londonderry Air” in 1913 (an alternative version of the story has her singing the air to him in 1912 with different lyrics), Weatherly modified the lyrics of “Danny Boy” to fit the rhyme and meter of “Londonderry Air.”
Weatherly gave the song to the vocalist Elsie Griffin, who made it one of the most popular songs in the new century. In 1915, Ernestine Schumann-Heink produced the first recording of “Danny Boy”.
Now The Mysterious Blabberer?

haha…he’s done with school
but, unbeknownst to me until a couple days ago – he knows the lyrics to ‘People Are Strange’ by the Doors. I used to listen to the Doors all the time…still like the Doors, just don’t get to listen to them as much anymore.

Thanks! One of my all-time favorites.
The song “Danny Boy” has come to symbolize the Irish Diaspora and Irish national pride. But its author was not Irish at all. Frederic Edward Weatherly (1848-1929) was a busy English lawyer who also wrote novels, children’s books, libretti, and the lyrics to some 1500 ballads and songs.
