Huh ?
Since when did that song get associated with The Dubliners
? It's a Phil Coulter song and is unequivocally about Derry.And, apparently, 'Relax' by Frankie Goes To Hollywood isn't about just chilling out. Allegedly.

Seemingly one of the most enduring urban legends.
Supposedly, the real story was that a young kid (relative? not sure) proudly showed Lennon a very colurful drawing they had just done - depicting a young classmate surrounded by stars. As you do, Lennon asked "Oh what's that then?" (or words to that affect) and the kid replied "That's lucy in the sky with diamonds"

The version of that story that I heard was that the child was a pal of Julian Lennon.
