[edit] List of covers?
Standards like this are covered by countless bands. I'm not sure there's anything particularly special about the bands mentioned here, except perhaps the Fureys if they popularized the song to a broader audience. I'm beginning a list of "other covers."
I agree with you about this, but perhaps we should do away with the majority of both lists altogether. As you said, it is a standard and been covered numerous times - too numerous to mention unless they are really of note. Also what's this about the "antidote to Willie McBride"? I can't even find that on Google! A mysterious song no one's heard of yet is called here "the most famour[sic] being 'the antidote to willie mcbride'" --- add to this that it's so mysterious (yet famour) that no one knows the lyrics (true signs of a great parody) and those who do know them won't give them away. Presumably the song's never actually been sung. Somebody remove that.Wellesradio 01:12, 11 November 2007 (UTC)Wellesradio
I removed it myself since I just realized that it was irrelevant to the section on WHO Willie Mc Bride was anyway. Wellesradio 01:15, 11 November 2007 (UTC)Wellesradio
[[im going to remove the ridiculous drivel regarding the location of willie mcbrides grave, what kind of nerd cares anyway? the commenary about the graveyards in france being grass and not sand is the stupidest thing ive ever read, i mean the alternate title of the song and part of the lyrics is 'the green fields of france' what kind of idiot misintereprets a song and then makes a misinformed yet arrogant commentary on it? not much bloody integrity on this site if you let know-it-all chumps like that have their way, and not only that, also defend their petty efforts. the song lyrics go 'in mute witness stand' not 'here in the sand' a simple google search reveals the veracity of my statement, and so i will remove the offending editorial.]] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.155.110.11 (talk) 01:33, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
