Spook_IE with Lush Classical - Such a Good Feeling
Nope. Nope. Nope. Hated that song before I heard this version and the Orchestra does nothing to improve it. Its six minutes long and that generic 90's beat leaves me colder than romantic Ireland in its grave with O'Leary. I do like an orchestral mix now and then (S&M 1 and 2 spring to mind) but not this. Not like this.
Sorry Spook
SO IN FIRST PLACE
Homer J Fong with Fenian C*unts - Kneecap
Absolutely brilliant. Love it all, the mix of languages, the lyrics. the vibe of the song. It's a smooth, smart, sexy and sleazy masterpiece. I urge ye to look up the lyrics, its worth the search. Dodgy one to be singing around the house but it's been stuck in my head. Like the British in the 6 counties, it just wont leave.
Congratulations Homer!0 -

Fecking hell, didn't expect that! That's made my night. I guess this counts as my first proper Walrus win; I've won categories before but never managed to win a full game...until now. :cool:
Glad you enjoyed it fixXxer, I spent some of my Paddy's Day listening to Kneecap's catalogue (with cans). Hip-hop isn't usually my thing but these lads have some great tunes, and some of their lyrics are fantastic. I was tossing up between Fenian C*nts and Get Your Brits Out.

Completely missed this, will have to catch up properly tomorrow20th Place
Electric Nitwit with The Corrs - Toss The Feathers
I find it hard to completely hate The Corrs. They bring back memories of a bar in the middle of nowhere in Thailand when they put on one of their albums on non-stop when they found out we were Irish. Great memories, just a shame about the music :pac: Ah its nice, bit bland. I feel like I'm in O'Carroll's picking a hoody. Now I've properly read your story to go along with it I feel like a **** for saying that. The memories though, we don't get to pick their soundtrack.
Ah well...
I did say I'd entered a naff band, but this song I genuinely think is great. All the rest of their songs? Shïte
Just so everyone knows how shït you're being to me...
So, I have a weird relationship with Irishness. My dad's Irish, but I'm born and bred London. I support Ireland, do not in any way think of myself of English, but I'm not really Irish (despite now living here, having an Irish passport etc). Truth is, I'm a mongrel and I don't fit 100% anywhere....
...however, growing up, there was one place that I and similar friends felt right at home. London Irish Rugby Club. We started going because we thought that's what we were, London Irish (and we were too scared to join the local hurling club!) And we were welcomed in istantly, while I still lived there I loved it - we were nearly always crap but the crowd was great and I always felt at home there. So in many ways that's where I feel most Irish
And when I used to go, the team's walk-on music was this...
I don't care how naff the Coors are (or how mental Jim now is), that's a great song and it always takes me back to the one place I felt I fitted in as a mongrel, so it's Irish to me 0 -

FWIW, even before your X-Factor style sob-story (joking, its a great story for why you chose that song), I enjoy that tune and would've easily been Top 3 for me, from all the songs in the group.0 -

Sorry I missed this, a great selection of interesting things I'd forgotten or did not know
I also fear my time in 'the house' will be coming back to haunt me for a long time yet!
Now I'm off to listen to the seagulls
which ones?

Who the fuck is Alice! Ever been to a pub before?
Exaclty, I was well into my 20s before I realised it wasn't an Irish Drinking Song, it was so iconic from the pubs.
Wouldn't be mad about the actual version, but belting this out after a few pints with everyone in a pub is iconically Irish.0 -

Yes I know it's played and "sang" in every Irish bar here and all around the world, even heard a dirty version ages ago on holidays in the Canaries but I guess given the Walrus title I wasn't sure it would feature and count, guess it is taken as honorary Irish :P:D;)0 -
