Wolfe Tones short-listed for world's favourite song

"A Nation Once Again", the republican anthem made famous by the Wolfe Tones has beaten off stiff competition to make the shortlist for a BBC Internet music poll to find the world's favourite song.

The song is now jockeying for a top 10 position alongside classics like John Lennon's Imagine, Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody and Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven.
