We’ll show the World we’re drinkers on Arthur’s Day.
Not gentlemen or thinkers on Arthur’s Day.
We’ll puke in our hands and piss where we stand, and we’ll fill the A&E wards, we’ll binge and minge talk shite all night in Ireland in our hordes on Arthur’s Day.
We’ll reinforce the stereotype on Arthur’s Day, that the Paddy is a guttersnipe on Arthur’s Day.
A bestial dog just up from the bog no manners in his head. We’ll drink and stink and curse and worse and soil our sodden beds on Arthur’s Day.
We’ll leave the streets in tatters on Arthur’s Day. Cos drink is all that matters on Arthur’s Day.
We’ll raise a glass, fall on our ass and never give a damn, or have a bother that we’re all just fodder for an advertising scam on Arthur’s Day.
Down with Arthur’s Day.
Waterboy Mike Scott pulls no punches with his feelings on Arthur’s Day.
Listen responsibly.

Oscar’s bar in Smithfield, Dublin.
Oh, it’s very much ON.

Composer and improvisation master Richard Grayson rising to the challenge of performing The Imperial March (Darth Vader’s theme from Star Wars) in the style of Beethoven.
Nails it.

The Olle Hemmingsson Trio (feat. tractor) perform Sweet Georgia Brown.
It’s been done before, but not nearly as charmingly.

A group of Auckland law students’ parody of ‘Blurred Lines’ – viewed over 300,000 times on YouTube before being removed (apparently for indecency) – now back (for the moment, at least).
In a case of role reversal, the male of the species is mercilessly objectified.
Men, how does this video make you Pharrell?

Fred (96), entered a songwriting contest he saw advertised in a local paper despite not being able to play an instrument or sing. Instead, he mailed the lyrics of a song he’d written about his wife Lorraine.
They’d been together since the late 1930s and she had passed away the month before.
Whatever you make of the song the studio recorded for Fred, you may find that, dammit, you have something in your eye or whatever.

In a remarkably effective follow up to a recently unearthed slowed-down version of Dolly Parton’s Jolene, Youtuber xFlloyd combines the original and the slowed-down vocal into a duet that’s arguably better than both.
By this stage, you’ll no doubt have heard the speeded-up version of I’m On Fire where Bruce Springsteen gets his Dolly on.
Nimble-fingered Sam Westphalen picks and thuds out an impressive guitar cover of Michael Jackson’s Black or White at the Australian Institute Of Music.
