Count your blessings
I was at a wedding 20 years ago which had a sing song of Oasis songs, it was brilliant, donāt know whether those songs would go down so well today.
Songs I hate;
Green fields of France
Weāre on the one road
Danny Boy
Songs I occasionally sing;
Grace
Rock The Kasbah
Whereās me Jumper
Give me a nail and a hammer
Rocky Road to Dublin
Whatās the use of having a wife
Ordinary man
Black is the Colour
Me Mammy had a rabbit and she thought it was a duck
Dublin in the rare aul times
At the time uncle Benji was a policeman in Brooklynā¦
I thought the cunts would win the county this year in Clare.
I hope you put on the accent for whereās me jumper.
Whatās the bit of Latin?
It was the voice of James Connolly, the Irish rebel.
Our hope is in god and Rory OāMooreā¦
I like my liquor and my living hard, as all the world can seeā¦
Have an uncle in his mid sixties whoās go to song is Lou Begas Mambo No.5, once thatās finished he rolls into Perfect 10 by the Beautiful South. Always gets a strange look from the punters
When I was younger I used to do Get on Up I feel like A Sex Machine by James Brown as my party piece.
Bland Anecdote Alert
Mrs. Franās brother is a bit of a whizz on the guitar and he gets rolled out at every social occasion which can get extremely tedious. In fairness to him he is very enthusiastic, willing and talented and does a cracking version of Psycho Killer, Blackbird, Faith, Call me Al and a few more.
Keep it simple. Sean south always works. A particular favourite of mine was a couple of years back at Cheltenham, being at a drinking table which included a current TD and his guests, two lesser known British MPs. He stood up and did a fine version including the intro. The two boyos did not know where to look. They knew the song alright.
Willy must be a great man in a singsong
Not him.
Not the Sinn Fein TD either Iād say as he doesnāt seem the type.
Must have been Nialler.
Thought it was the Kilteely clique
Always note that dubs of certain age love āthe steet where you liveā.
If some can deliver the āValley of Knockanureā it is really beautiful and haunting .
Wrong words but I guess thatās all part of a sing song
Brilliant song
Iām not a Dub but the rare auld times is my favourite song song tune
