Dear Americans, on #StPatricksDay, please remember that the song #DannyBoy is not an Irish song. The melody is, but the lyrics were written later by an Englishman. He never even visited Ireland. It would be rare to hear it played in any pub in Ireland, and probably mostly to appease American tourists.

I mean the lyrics don’t even make total sense from an Irish point of view. Ireland isn’t particularly known for its mountains… The lyrics sound more like they would refer to Scotland.

In honour of St Patrick's Day, here's my favorite use of diegetic music in a movie:
