I've never understood why some of the old trad songs aren't adapted for football, they are generally catchy and made for singing along to. Too ra loo ra loo. too ra loo ra lay,,,too ra loo ra loo too ra loo ra lay.
Ride on, sung by the whole place at A Christy gig makes your hair stand on end too. my beautiful horse indeed!
Plenty of songs could be adapted think of all those Dubliners singalongs.
Failing that theres always the Chris De Burgh classic "ladies in green"
It includes some ridiculous line about forgetting Saipan.
Never, Never.
I'm going to try to do up an old Pogues tune. I only know four or five chords so it might be even worse than this song.
Yes, The Pogues could do a job all right, streams of whiskey would be good, a man you dont meet every day could be done for Trap.
Maybe the Green fields of France could be reworked for the playoffs
If anyone could conjure up a tragedy worse than that I'm sure it'd be you!Quote:

...who covers their own song? :confused:
That would be the 12 inch dance remix.
The Pogues did release "Jack's Heroes" in 1990 with the Dubliners. A smashing video to go along with it as well filmed in Tolka Park. By the Pogues standards its not a classic but it's streets ahead of the Corrigans.Quote:

Jaysus they were all looking a lot fitter in 1990 - hard to believe almost 20 years.
Ronnie Drew - God bless him!

These are the fellas that did the Barrack O' Bama song arent they? Thats god-awful as well.

AMusing but not enough to get the pulse racing when singing it at the ground.
Next please...
i think i puked a little while listening to this.
Someone needs to re-do puttem under pressure with trap..
For any punk fans out there there was a great World Cup CD in 2002 by a band called The Studs - the review from the Sunday Business Post is below. I have the songs on my computer so will try to post them somewhere tonight for a broader audience.....
"Dub songs
There's always one football song that the drunken masses end up singing every time the World Cup comes around. And this one could be it -- although it is more remarkable for its honesty than for its catchiness.
The single We Won't Win the World Cup was released yesterday by Dublin rockers The Studs.
The other two songs on the CD are: Mick McCarthyism, an examination of the interpenetration of football and politics, and Sitting in an Irish Bar Watching England Losing, a complex study of the psyche of the Irish soccer supporter.
A verse on the title track goes: `We're all off to the World Cup again/Mick'll have the lads in bed by 10/A 12-hour flight but we've no fear/We'll all be tanked up on beer'.
The Studs tell us that Mick McCarthyism started life as a song about "the joys of camogie", but was overhauled dramatically when the band came across an "extraordinary revelation" -- they discovered that the Irish soccer manager's name rhymed with `Communist Party'.
The band says Sitting in an Irish Bar Watching England Losing is not an anti-English song, but quite the opposite. It's a celebration of our dislike of the English soccer team."
Pretty shocking stuff that tune is. Let's hijack three lions and call it three leaf clovers on a shirt or something sh*t like that.
Eat my Goal is the best football song and no country has used that. Maybe we can hijack that.
Well the only thing I got in that 1 minute I'll never recover is that they are definetely brothers. May they never ever make a cent out of that for its truly awful.
I know there's a recession but surely that needs sensoring and should never ever be allowed near a human ear again unless as a form of torture. It could be used when John Delaney is finally tried for crimes against football in this country to glean a confession from him.
That is pretty scary.
As promised above I have uploaded the three songs to youtube:Quote:

Apologies to the band if they don't want these posted online (I will remove them if requested). I just think they are too good not to share.
I hope in these recessionary times you've got a day job :DQuote:
