A Limerick Song ?

thewanandonly

hi All.
First time post as i'm working on a project about city identity and am searching for a song that sums up Limerick. Something that may not be from Limerick but is of Limerick, that gets across the city in all it's ragged glory. Anything from Limerick you're a Lady to 2pac !

Love to hear the forums thoughts !

Unfortunately songs like Thousands are sailing or Ordinary Man are very apt in current times.:(


Of course the songs songs would be just as apt for Waterford, Tullamore and many other towns across the country.



Less depressing to ear, eye and mind would be Hatch Sixteen

Local band, local song, and local promo video.
