Glas, Bán, ‘s Ór – EURO 2K16

To the tune of Go West [Village People/Pet Shop Boys] Gala’s Freed From Desire.

Ó Ghaillimh go Uibh Fhailí
Ar an Champs Elyse’
Na hÉireannaigh thar sáile
Ar an Champs Elyss’
Na buachailli báire
Ar an Champs Elyse’
Gaelgeóireacht gan aon náire
Ar an Champs Elyse’

Champs?

TROID!

Les Cronins, Shane MacGowan, Joe Rooney and friends – Je T’Aime Irlande

A stunning versio of the saucy Serge Gainsbourg/Jane Birkin classic featuring Joe Rooney, Johnny and Mick Cronin [The Cronins],  Shane MacGowan, Rackhouse Pilfer, Biblecode Sundays, Brave Giant, Sean and Eabha Gavaghan, Shane Wearen, Daire O’Reilly, David Keenan, Sean Rooney, The Business, and Fallen Lights, plus a 50-piece choir.

C’est fantastique, in fairness.

John Cummins – Road To Euro 2016

A spoken word contribution to the Euro 2016 build up by hairy, Dublin-based self styled.’poetician’.

John is a previous holder of the All Ireland Slam Poetry Championships, where he beat a callow, smooth chinned pre-‘rick a day poet named John Moynes.

FIGHT!

My girlfriend’s father’s best mate Pat Good wrote this song for the Irish football team 26 years ago. The cover alone is fantastic (drawn by my gf’s dad Gerry Lawes and has Jack Charlton shaking hands with auld Pope JP) but the tune is a gas reminder of the glory days.

He’s followed it up all these years later…
