Can someone please explain to me why so many men sing "Danny Boy"? It is a beautiful song, and sooo sentimental and mournful and hence, perfect for St. Patrick's Day. But it's a love song (a depressing-as-hell one, with lyrics like "If I am dead, as dead I well may be...and all my grave will warmer, sweeter be"), from a woman to a man. It just strikes me as funny when I see some burly Irish tenor cop singing sweetly "Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you soooo."

I know, right?

If the official parade (the one down 5th Avenue) can have some man singing that, they can darn well allow the Irish Lesbian and Gay Organization to march.
