day 04 - a song that makes you sad
It can only be one song: Eric Bogle's 'Romeo And Juliet In Sarajevo'. This wiki link provides the background to this tragic true story.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a You Tube link for the song so, as it's fairly obscure song, I've uploaded it on the page so you can hear the song for yourself:

Quote for the week:
That time of the year is almost on us
When department stores will cheat and con us,
Trying to steal our money from us.
So you'd better watch out because
There's a fat old jolly bloke
With the long white beard and the bright red cloak,
Who'll do his best to send us broke?
It's Santa Bloody Claus.Eric Bogle, Santa Bloody Claus.
Continuing luck with your MySpace adventures!

I've got the surname, the colouring and even the Microdisney mp3s but, for all that, I couldn't bring myself to do the plastic paddy bit today.
Maybe I'm off the Murphys, or maybe it's due to the fact that for 364 days of the year my accent is mistaken for Irish in a country where 91% of the population claims Irish ancestry.
Whatever the reason: March 17th is my day for remaining sober, stumm and sarcastic. Have an appropriate mp3 to sample:
