Perfect — I Already Gave Up “Danny Boy” For Lent . . .

Some establishments ban cell phones, while others must crack down on “Danny Boy”:

A Manhattan pub owner is banning the St. Patrick’s Day standard from his bar for the entire month of March.

“St. Patrick’s Day is supposed to be a happy day. Do we have to sing a song that says, ‘Come and visit me when I’m dead’?” griped Shaun Clancy, owner of Foley’s Pub & Restaurant on W. 33rd St. near Fifth Ave.

Clancy, who grew up in Ireland, is so tired of hearing “Danny Boy” he’d like to see it hushed from glen to glen.

“There is more to Ireland than ‘Danny Boy’ and Lucky Charms,” Clancy said.

Clancy is offering a free Guinness to patrons who sing any other traditional Irish tune at the pub’s March 11 pre-St. Patrick’s Day bash. He also will give out surprise gifts to patrons who refrain from singing the song throughout this month during the pub’s regular Tuesday night karaoke events.

“It’s overplayed,” Clancy, 38, said of the song written in 1910 by English lawyer Frederick Weatherly, who had never even visited the Emerald Isle.

“It’s been ranked among the 25 most depressing songs of all time,” Clancy said.
