Message: [QUOTE="Kaizen, post: 4318943, member: 6183"] This song looks so familiar. Then just find out it is the same tune as "Danny Boy". Other lyrics have been written to the tune, but none of them are as well known as "Danny Boy". "You Raise Me Up" (sung by Josh Groban on his album "Closer") is a different tune, even though large parts of it are very similar to the "Londonderry Air". [B]'Danny Boy', aka 'The Derry Air', aka 'The Londonderry Air'[/B], is the city's single most famous export. It is also probably the most-recorded Irish song of all time and has served as a national anthem for the Irish, Irish-Americans, Irish-Canadians and Irish-Australians. [/QUOTE]
