Brobdingnagian Fairy Tales is a compilation of Irish pub songs, various pop culture inspired songs and parodies, and live versions of songs from the Bards' previous albums. A romantic Italian folk song, "Santa Lucia," is also included. The song "Happily Ever After" was inspired by the children's book, The Paper Bag Princess, and "Buttercup's Lament" was inspired by The Princess Bride.
