    He has lord in his username, so yes I would imagine so.

    O he's far from the only one, hence the question. I've seen a fair few detailed rants from a number of posters that follow the same line.

    As we're "neanderthals" I'm just suprised we can notice such nuances.

    'I was born on a Dublin street where the Royal drums do beat
    And the loving English feet they tramped all over us,
    And each and every night when me father'd come home tight
    He'd invite the neighbours outside with this chorus.....'

    Songs that mean something always resonate with me

    I find rebel songs pretty irrelevant now since the war is over.

    No, nor have I said so, nor has anybody else on this thread, as far as I'm aware.

    The odd English rebel song is good too.

    "Robin Hood, Robin Hood riding through the glen,
    Robin Hood, Robin Hood with his band of men,
    Feared by the bad, loved by the good,
    Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Robin Hood"

    You know nothing about the song, you should have read all the lyrics then tried to think of something smart to say.

    Yes I suppose that the one drawback with my username is that it may lead people into thinking that I really am a lord :D
    but its just another silly username. Screaming Lord Sutch http://elvispelvis.com/screamingls.jpg

    those morons.

    It is, of course, an Irish person's filial duty to listen to them. Nothing like: "Here's up the rebels, get back our Teddy's Head!" to rouse an Irishman from his slumber. It should be a matter of pride that the sons of Éire have this tune as their morning alarm.

    PS: Some people will not be able to get this song out of their head for a while!

    It depends; I sense that if I answer "I'm serious" you'll go ballistic, so let's go for it.

    Well, if serious, it was an incredibly moronic thing to say

    It is stuck in my head now. "Here's up the rebels!"


    This is a great song too, written in 1867, it was pretty much a national anthem in the late 19th century.


    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVT3GqJYCsU




    Heres another good song, written by the great Dominic Behan, a champion of the working class, who wrote innumerable brilliant songs, plays and books.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b2EL8Jytao




    Very apt today still given the state we are in 90 years on from the treaty.

    "For we stand with Enright and Larkin,
    With Daley and Sullivan bold.
    We'll break down the English connection,
    And bring back the nation you sold.
    Take it down from the mast, Irish traitors,
    The flag we Republicans claim.
    It can never belong to Free Staters,
    You brought on in nothing but shame."

    Here's a great version of "Take It Down From the Mast" sung by the late Ciarán Bourke of the Dubliners.

    Some great songs. Nothing beats a night in the pub with some trad and the locals singing along.

    My favourite:

    This is officially the worst song I've ever heard.
