For years I was under the impression that Lady In Red was about Chris's wife who had died, so although I didn't like the song obviously, I thought it was mean to hate on him too much for it. Only now do I discover his wife is alive and well, so I have 32 years of concentrated Chris De Burgh hate to catch up on. Plus I have no idea who the other guy is.

Daniel O'Donnell is the real deal, he will show Scott Walker who da real avant-garde crooning mofo is when his Merzbow collaboration comes out.

a re-imagining of Mann's Heat, where tough border cop Daniel O'Donnell is doggedly pursing DeBurgh's total arsehole of a tobacco dealer, and set on thwarting his plan to flood the North with cheap and deadly EU halfzware shag.

rumours his ma was his granny
and his sister MARGO was actually his mother.
Lot of Margo albums round the house before D O'D broke and transformed the scene.
Going down the Country and Irish rabbithole again. Me and Philomena have some catching up to do.

if danny had a banger like 'don't pay the ferryman' then he might've got my vote, but alas here i am on team chris

in my opinion you should pay the ferryman

Ferry payment avoidance is a scourge, about time the government cracked down on it.
― Video reach stereo bog (Tom D.), Wednesday, 14 February 2018 11:19 (six years ago) link
the lyrics to that song do actually reveal a miserliness of spirit. Daniel O'Donnell would be flashing out a 50 euro note and telling the ferryman to keep the change.

hobbits can't swim iirc which is why de Burrrgh resents ferry charges

but behold the dancing bones:
In the rolling mist, then he gets on boardNow there'll be no turning backBeware that hooded old man at the rudderAnd then the lightning flashed and the thunder roaredAnd people calling out his nameAnd dancing bones that jabbered-and-a-moaned on the waterAnd then the ferryman said There is trouble aheadSo you must pay me now

The former Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) leader presented himself as the “Daniel O’Donnell” of Scottish politics while carrying on activities more akin to a Premiership footballer, a jury was told.
