			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being in Cheltenham &#8211; the unofficial home of literary creation &#8211; and a student of Creative Writing, I&#8217;m encouraged by my tutors to attend the open-mic nights that occur on a monthly basis. the one I viewed last night was attended by a particularly ingenious performer who took old Irish folk songs and fables and twisted them into humorous parodies.  While listening, an idea occurred to me to do something similar.</p>
<p>Bare in mind, I&#8217;ve just thrown this together this morning and it needs work.  Each section is intended to be performed in the respective style of the band in question:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46EXY4oP1Do">(Dubliners)</a></p>
<p><em>As I was browsing right through<br />
The many vids on YouTube<br />
I saw a version bizarre<br />
An old Whiskey in the Jar</em></p>
<p><em>I clicked the link to view it<br />
And the quality was quite shit<br />
But clear as the beards on their chins<br />
‘twas The Dubliners that did sing</em></p>
<p><em>Mush a ring dum a doo dum a da<br />
Whack for my daddy&#8217;o<br />
Whack for my daddy&#8217;o<br />
‘twas Whiskey in the Jar</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TehFZ38kt6o">(Thin Lizzy)</a></p>
<p><em>I went back to the options<br />
And the next that I did click on<br />
A classic from the seventies<br />
The good; the great Thin Lizzy</em></p>
<p><em>Phil Lynott’s gruff voice was bliss<br />
Gary Moore played that great lick<br />
The old folk song they took on<br />
To the joy of a new generation</em></p>
<p><em>Mush a ring dum a doo dum a da<br />
Whack for my daddy’o<br />
Whack for my daddy’o<br />
It’s Whiskey in the Jar’o</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRj9iLwnmiE">(Metallica)</a></p>
<p><em>And finally I move ya<br />
From Dublin to California<br />
With weight on Lizzy’s cover<br />
The howl of Metallica</em></p>
<p><em>A classic it may not be<br />
But that matters not to me<br />
The sweat beads out of my pores<br />
When I hear James Hetfield ROAR</em></p>
<p><em>Mush a ring dum a doo dum a da<br />
Whack for my daddy’o<br />
Whack for my daddy’o<br />
There’s Whiskey in the Jar’o</em></p>
<p><em>Whiskey in the Jar’o<br />
Mush a ring dum a doo dum a da</em></p>
