Does changing “of” to
O’ in a band name make it an Irish band?

Schism is 5/8 + 7/8, which averages out to 6/8, so it’s a jig, right?

As we are approaching St Patrick’s Day, and I have been doing fake Irish version of pop songs consistently since 2013, and keep adding every year

I am like the Hallmark Christmas movies of fake Irish jig arrangements of pop songs
