The Smashing Tunes Thread (Part 1)

My favourite Springsteen song - Stolen Car

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPobte6iqSU

When the jester sang for the King and Queen in a coat he borrowed from James Deaneā€¦

Why does that song have such resonance in Ireland?
Iā€™d say 90% of Americans Iā€™ve meet wouldnā€™t know that song from Adam. But every Irish cunt born in the last five decades can sing it word for word.

T&H Doolans in Waterford early 90ā€™s every Wednesday night about 50 of us sang a 25 minute drunken version of it, happy days (and nights)

Iā€™m not sure what you are asking hereā€¦ why a song is popular in Ireland and not in America?

Yes I do. Im listening to Where The Streets Have No Name over the La Plagne stage of the 1987 Tour De France right now.

Listening as I type. A monumental song from a monumental album.
