This humorous look back at the year that was 2014 comes in to us from lads from DCU’s Bon Journo and it’s certainly one of the more creative reviews of the year.
The tune, which has been titled ‘We Didn't Start Satire’, contains some very funny and very topical lines such as, ‘Irish water in our taps, we all saw J-Lo’s baps’ and ‘Mary Lou pulling stunts, Yankees think we’re using punts’.
Now, we don’t think the lads involved would make it to the judges’ houses if they auditioned for X-Factor (no offence, lads) but we have to say, what they lack in singing ability they certainly make up for it in creative and funny lyrics.

Fancy singing along? Here are the lyrics to Bon Journos ‘We Didn't Start Satire’…
Irish Water in our taps,
We all saw J-Laws baps.
Gilmore out and Burton in,
We're still owned by Berlin.
Germans kings of the globe,
Burton trapped in town of Job.
Mary Lou, pulling stunts,
Yankees think we're using punts.
Son of Bod to save us all,
No Sam for Donegal.
Whistleblowers lift the lid,
Malaysian plane's off the grid.
Scotland free? They say no,
Where'd Renee's face go?
Charlie Manson's ball and chain,
We've had rain and rain and rain.
We didn't start satire.
We just think we're funny,
And we'd like some money.
We didn't start satire.
Well it’s not just us three,
We’ve got Corm and Jamie.
'Tallica on Glasto Stage,
Frozen dolls are all the rage.
Double Irish shuts up shop,
Katie Taylor can’t be stopped.
Sinn Fein on the rise,
Spoiler 'lert Nidge dies.
Luis Suarez gives a bite,
Star Wars gets the green light.
Taylor fights with Spotify,
That Tommy Bowe try.
Michael D meets the queen,
Enda's never off our screens.
U2 give away their songs,
Senator gets water wrong.
Winter Olympics Sochi,
I’m Aidan De-Lane-ey.
We didn't start satire.
We just think we're funny,
And we'd like some money.
We didn't start satire.
Well it’s not just three,
We’ve got Corm and Jamie.
Isis in the Middle East,
YouTube loves singing priests.
Garth Brooks in Croke Park,
He breaks all the culchies' hearts.
Birthday cupcakes for the bears,
Rick Ross Loves Pears.
Red Hot Chili Super Bowl,
We may end up on the dole.
We didn't start satire.
We just think we're funny,
And we'd like some money.
We didn’t start satire.
It’s not just us three,
We’ve got Corm and Jamie.
Ice buckets gone mad,
Conor McGregor what a lad.
Rory Mac is number 1,
AK’s are a 'peaceful gun'.
Teachers strikes close the schools,
Ireland loses Aussie Rules.
We’re still winning at rugby,
Thanks to Paul and Johnny.
Bobby Sands burger bar,
Conchita Wurst became a star.
Red Bull doesn't give you wings,
all these other stupid things.
We didn't start satire.
We just think we're funny,
And we'd like some money.
We didn't start satire.
We'd like you to know,
You're a Bon Journo.
