    It was a song sung as a hippister (supported by the girls of private schools, who weren't see enough action on the pitch (candy wise), in relation to a fashion statement of wearing football jerseys in the 1990's.

    Orginally it was ugly ugly or oggy oggy (who agrees) I I or oi oi, it seemed to actually catch on after that moment. And became a bizarre chant, that reinforced what it was slagging off, and is now a stable chant at every Irish team sports game.

    I swear that is the truth ( either that or it was a scout motivational song) I think mine sounds better :D

    from the wiki link I posted earlier, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oggy_Oggy_Oggy
    Oggy Oggy Oggy has long been a major chant within Scouting and Guiding, especially within the UK. "An Oggy" as it is termed within Troops and Units is usually used at Scouting events and as a way of expressing thanks to those within and outside Scouting.

    I've only ever heard of the song on nights out. Though might hear it the odd time at matches alright.

    I watch very little sport, about 10 matches in my life (from national school to national to international (most of them bored the living be jayus out of me (always Ireland though))) but I heard that song at 8 out of 10 of them, hence why I thought it was a sporting song. (mind you based on my limited experience I wouldn't base any sort of general criteria towards where that song came from)

    I believe the first time I heard it was as a campfire song that motivated teams (in scouts) to bond together (which makes sense from the other posts that it originally was a military song)

    Yeah I know, I was playing with the idea and made up a story, which I thought I made very clear at the end of my post, that I actually did do and agreed with you

    In my school trips we had a song called Bang Bang Rosie.

    "Bang bang Rosie,
    Rosie bangs all day,
    Who will bang for Rosie?
    When Rosie goes away"



    Rosie got a bike
    She got it from her granny,
    everytime she rode it,
    The spokes went up her..

    I've heard Paddies recite it before, usually the typical working class boys down to watch UTD on a Saturday and sing Ra sings later on in the night.

    Paddys a frequently used term for the Irish, surely you've heard that before, it's like greasers for Italians or frogs for the French.

    I'm not insulting anybody, I'm Irish for god sake, the paddy term is ancient and has been used globally for a long while. Don't be so insecure.

    It is insulting, as is the phrase 'Mick'. If you're Irish then why say it? Why not just say you heard people sing it?

    Because I'm comfortable with being Irish. I don't care about how other cultures view us, I find terms like Paddy and Mick humorous.

    I think as nicknames for nationalities go, 2 common names are some of the least offensive. I suppose they like anything they could be insulting depending on the tone, but nothing wrong with saying he heard paddies sing it before imo

    They're derogatory nicknames which historically carried the same negative connotations as phrases like 'nígger'.

    So do I (particularly when it describes a stupid Irish idea) you obviously like being insulted, or actually miss being in Ireland, or actually have this attitude that insulting people makes you a better person, I assuming the later

    I really thought the term "Paddy" was 1970's, same as greaser for being Italian, and frog for French

    It actually appears you need to rethink your generalisation.

    Oh hold on maybe you thought it was funny (comedy isn't something you should go in to) Any how I'm glad your happy with be called a "Paddie" or a "Mick" cause neither is my name, and neither say who I am as a person, nor do they state my belief systems or political views, So as an Irish person I find "Paddy" or "Mick" an insult.

    The same way as an Italian would find "greaser" insulting, and a French person would find "Frog" an insult

    But sure go ahead and call yourself what you like. Sweet:rolleyes:
