As a kid I always believed this song was about Dublin city Well, let's have one that's unmistakably about Dublin.

Absolutely and totally about Dublin, and no better person than Ronnie Drew to sing that particular song, thanks TT!

I guess going metric wouldn't work: 804.672 km just doesn't quite have the same ring to it : I'm Gonna be (500 Miles) ~ The Proclaimers

See You Again by Wiz Khalifa with Charlie Puth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgKAFK5djSkThis song gets me every time I hear it's from Fast & Furious 7 & it serves as a tribute to Paul Walker

Ok, indulge me here. When Leau and I first started our relationship, I'd sing this song. She regards herself as an honorary Queenslander now, and loves this one. It's not as good as I sing it, of course,  , but Johnny does a pretty good job - Glory Glory - Johnny Chester

It's a good thing we're an indulgent lot, Dalgliesh! What a song to have as an "it's our song" thing!  Gorgeous, Tryst! Have not come across Lisa Hannigan & her beautiful voice before now, but will be making a thorough acquaintance over the next few days  How about Gwahoddiad ~ World's Largest ever Male Voice Choir of over 8,000 participants (1993) ("Invitation")

Another combined effort from Mrs and me - She made me watch a show about Dutch duo Nick and Simon, who were trying to make their name in GB. Amongst their travels, they spent time with a transient group called Will and the People, and I discovered this gem - Train - Will and the People
