[edit] The Documentary

"The Rocky Road to Dublin" is also a (very controversial!) documentary film created by Peter Lennon in 1968. I'm not sure how to enter the film into Wikipedia, but it should be documented here! An extensive description can be found here: http://www.iol.ie/~galfilm/filmwest/25rocky.htm

The main fascination about this film is that it was never really shown in Ireland, because the "authorities" feared it. Is seems to be still classified as banned in Ireland, as IMDB seems to suggest: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0192534/

I would suggest making an article here Rocky Road to Dublin (film) or The Rocky Road to Dublin (film), depending on the films real title.

[edit] Lyrics

I know that lyrics are often open to individual interpretations, however in the first line I have never seen nor heard the "Merry month of June". The versions I have heard have been the "Merry month of May". Is there an 'official' version to cite? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.169.189.226 (talk) 14:36, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

In the 78rpm recording I uploaded to the Internet Archive and updated the article here about, the line is indeed "Merry month of June."
