And you know what, it’s not half-bad.
The Leinster champions take on Portumna in the AIB Club Senior Hurling final on St Patrick’s Day so an All-Ireland song was obligatory really.
The Wild Swans’ original famously went to number one and toppled the Spice Girls during Wexford’s 1996 All-Ireland win.
This time around it’s MLR star freetaker Denis Murphy rather than Larry Murphy who “looked 25 feet tall.”
And instead of the immortal line “What’s the story Martin Storey?”, you can expect “What’s the feelin’ David Phelan?” to become the county’s newest catchphrase.
