Barack O’Bama stirs up storm with voters but irks Nancy Boys

A SONG written by a Limerick group has struck a chord with US presidential election voters and sparked a bitter music industry row.

Limerick group Hardy Drew and the Nancy Boys who penned and recorded There’s No One as Irish as Barack O’Bama are outraged with Irish singer Shay Black who has added some verses for his rendition of the song on YouTube.

US-based Shay Black denies hijacking the song, which he said was now causing a shift in key swing states due to the growing audience it is reaching on You Tube, where 350,000 have seen it. “For whatever reason, the song has tapped into a vein that is actually becoming a vibrant political movement among white Irish folk who may have found it difficult to vote for a black man.”
