The Sash (JFK Parody) - Ronnie Drew

Ronnie Drew performing a parody on the visit of John F. Kennedy to Ireland, set to "The Sash My Father Wore". It was recorded in McNamara's Pub, Kilrush Co. Clare in August 1963. It was an audio only recording. I spliced it with video from a TV performance of "McAlpine's Fusiliers". It is not intended to fool anyone, it's just something to look at while listening to the song.

it must be the mayo breed in me

i apologise for my knee jerk reaction to your first comment. i think the question should be why wouldn't he sing an orange song? the simple answer to your question is he's singing it for the crack. he also sang "the old orange flute" for the same reason. ronnie had no problem singing "the old orange flute" because he wasn't a bigot and it's a good song. as can be heard from the recording of "the sash", the patrons of mcnamara's pub were not bigots either as they sang along with gusto.
