Whenever the diminutive Hornswoggle appears on WWE TV now, the song used in this entry can be heard blasting merrily away. Incredibly, it was also once the tune which accompanied the Irish hard man Finlay down to ringside. On occasion, he and Hornswoggle even danced a crude little Irish jig, which obviously looked entirely silly. The official title of the track is, 'He's Ma Da'. For the benefit of those not in the know, the word, 'ma' means 'my'. Further to that point, the word, 'da' is an Irish and Scottish colloquialism for 'dad'. This was of course in reference to the idea that Finlay was Hornswoggle's father, which fans found laughable. Similarly, people found the music the pair were handed difficult to stomach too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTU71up8RYE Over the years, WWE have had fingers pointed at them for relying heavily on stereotypes. This is a perfect example of that, it's so painfully Irish that it almost hurts. Whilst heel, Finlay did have a Celtic feel to his entrance tune, but the new song would take things even further. Once again, it almost sounds like a joke at the man's expense, which it maybe was. It doesn't exactly scream, 'this man is a feared warrior'. The whistle sections alone are laughably cheap sounding.
