Anyone know the artist or song title of the theme song used in the all new Discover Ireland Advert aired this week on RTE???

Cheers!

Mr E

God I hate this. Sounds like an American doing an irish accent. Really doesnt fit the ad either.

Pretty_Pistol

Loving it myself. It came on in the cinema. Really loud.

Mr E

This is very off topic for TV, but I loved what Heathers did for Super Extra Bonus Party's Comets (link). Its really catchy with nice harmonies and a great hook. Heathers' album isn't great though (IMHO, etc.) - available on iTunes. Its more of the same if you like Remember When.

bazwaldo

Really wanted to know who they were too. Excellent song

JonathanAnon

oh and girls... STOP SHOUTING ... feckn roaring out the telly at me..

Aidric

The bird at the start of this ad has a cracking set of jabs.

pickarooney

It's like they've cloned the ugly daughter from Californication.

*shadow*

Love this song..works really well with the add!!

Havermeyer

God, I bloody hate this song. I either switch channel or mute the telly while it's on.

I just can't stomach it. First time I heard it I thought it was a piss-take.

Very Tegan and Sarahish...

To the degree that it's two females with no drums....this sounds more 'compact'.

Shane10

great song, think its in everyone's head now.

Catari Jaguar

God I ****ing HATE that song! Argh! I have a cinema card for Cineworld and go maybe once/twice a week and that terrible ad is always on! :mad: Nasal, loud, in your face, obnoxious. I thought it was Tegan & Sara initially because of the American sounding vocals ( I was wondering wtf happened to them!) The girl I give grinds to said it's her teachers daughter's band. Sisters I think, they even look like Tegan & Sara.

I have to say generally I like the songs found by Failte Ireland however this one is incredible annoying.

DarkJager

Worst song they could have chosen for it. Pictures of activites around Ireland while some bird is shouting "I've got to get away from here". Not exactly fitting with a tourism ad is it?

Spiritoftheseventies

Brilliant song but not sure if Id buy the album

I love the song, think they're two very talented girls.
Apparantely they're twins from blackrock and recorded the album the week before their mocks

There was an interview with them on boards a few weeks ago. They are very grounded.

Elmo

I should say well done to the girls but I just don't like the song.

U1D2C3

drives me mad anyway! twats!

po0k

I like the clip used in the ad. Playful irony with the lyrics.
Fits quite well, "get away from here", aimed squarely at urbanites looking to get out into the 'wilderness'.

Superficial much? They'd both get sexy-tickles.

<OT>The Meteor (or whoever*) "CARLA! THE BLONDE CARLA!!?" ad makes me want to stab things in the face. Been way overplayed.
Advice to mortketing folks: try mentioning 3G contention ratio, LTE plans, flatrate data plans, Android phones instead of ****e like this.

*it's that annoying, I'm not sure what they're actually selling.
</OT>

Mr. K

They played the Special Olympics opening ceremony in Limerick last Wednesday, they weren't bad. The song doesn't bother me, but I haven't heard it that much!

sok2005

And still you laugh at me........ WHY!!!

Ridiculous use of this song on an ad for holidaying in Ireland.

Mick Daly

They sing like constipated toddlers. Whinging, covered in muck and lacking merit of any kind. An annoying duo.

RVD420

Annoying song, annoying ad that goes on forever.

"I need to go, I need to get away from: heee-yurrrr"

Annoying....

..and it's the kind of shrill, awful noise that stays in your head hours after hearing it..Jesus get rid of it!

Haha! Well said! Yes the "hee-urrr..we like so wanna be american" Feck off..this song does nothing for this country

John The Bad

God this song just bugs me. ESPECIALLY when it's used in the background on the radio and it's just the guitar, three chords up, three chords down, over and over again until... Heeyuh! Bloody hell, stop it.

Have to change channel, mute, whatever. If I'm any distance from the remote, I guarantee it's the fastest I move all day. Appalling.

alexv

it's the most annoying song....repeated over and over again
