I've asked this before of another poster and they werent able to answer. I've often heard people singing this or a variation of this before but I could never figure out, why is it funny. i ask that not as a republican, just genuinely, where is the joke there or is it just some vague connection between hungerstrike and food.
Again, I want to stress, im not askin about
the intent or anything like that behind the song, just why do some people think it's so funny/clever?

Point being that me singing that song would probably offend many people, same as Delaney glorifying a dead terrorist. Neither song has a place being sung at a social event.

Have you an approved list of songs which people are allowed to sing in a pub?

Preferably none.

When I'm at the pub, I'm there to socialise with friends, not listen to a pissed up barstool republican trying to glorify some terrorist who smeared himself in ****e and starved himself to death.

It's like that bloke at a party who gets a guitar and starts playing. No-one wants to fcuking listen to him but it doesn't stop him. And then you're seen as rude when you try to whisper to someone.

He's that guy, except a RA head as well.

I don't really have a problem with some loon singing quietly after a feed of pints.

It's when people demand silence and kill the atmosphere in the whole place that annoys me.

The Celtic shirt wearing neanderthals that stand up and start clapping like circus sea lions during the last verse of Joe Mc.Donald always send me into hysterics though!
