    These song titles seem part of a drive to integrate, boost the confidence and increase the status value of Irish emigrants and their descendants. They can be seen as part of a process culminating in the Kennedy family.

    Maybe we need some confidence-boosting music here?

    No. 2 reminds me of one of Philo’s great lines, used before they played Emerald live.
    “Any girls out there with some Irish in them? Any of the girls out there want a bit more Irish in them?”
