By now you may have heard Fionnghuala, the traditional Irish/Scottish-irish language chant-based song that accompanies the new commercials for Eircom?
Do you find the music too traditional?
Composer John Walsh, who arranged the original, writes:
I thought you might be interested in the official remix….
Choon, in fairness.

Its like it touches the memories and emotions that the traditional piece evokes by sh1tting all over them in neon coloured schutter!
Can someone put a donk on Planxty please?
I thought it was a traditional scottish gaelic chant based song.
They Bothy band did it in scots gaelic.
Jayus, I hate that ad and by extension that song for being associated with it.
That song is very annoying now, possibly because it was used in an ad for Ei(r), arguably one of the worst companies in Ireland, possibly because they spent E16m to re-brand themselves when they should have spent it improving their company in more practical ways, possibly because most of the visuals in the ad have no connection to Ei(r) at all, or possibly because most of that E16m probably went on ad campaign on TV3 that made watching the Rugby World Cup quite painful at times.
Eir with their hollow, soulless PR nonsense. So see through its laughable. Fibre? What fibre? Skellig Micheal looks lovely but the people on the mainland who see it everyday have no fibre cables and aren’t even on Eirs list to ever receive it.
But let’s not get bogged down in facts and reality, listen to this lovely Celtic bollocks and imagined fibre wonderland.
I was indifferent about the song in the ad, but this “remix” is absolutely appalling.

Sellin’ ’em all, ’em all, sellin’ ’em all, ’em all, sellin’ ’em all, ’em all, sellin’ ’em all, ’em all, sellin’ ’em all, ’em all, sellin’ ’em all, ’em all, sellin’ ’em all, ’em all, sellin’ ’em all, ’em all…
Does it not sound like an ISIS recruitment music?
