An "under the radar" song written by Paul and Linda McCartney in protest to Bloody Sunday -- January 30, 1972 -- when British troops killed 13 Republican protesters in Northern Ireland. One of McCartney's few protest songs, "Give Ireland Back to the Irish" was the first single released by McCartney and Wings; it was banned by the BBC, pretty much ignored in America, and found great favor in Northern Ireland.
(Not to be confused with the Harvard Lampoon' recording of the same name.)
