Pukey, I have a funny feeling that some of our esteemed forum members will be making tits of themselves outside the Ladies jacks in Coppers to “Las Vegas in the Hills of Donegal” very shortly…

On the subject of the Waterboys, for me the definitive version of “The Whole of the Moon” was by Fr Noel Furlong aka Graham Norton. Brought the house down.

Will probably live to regret this but here’s my own “personal” contribution to this thread - my own band Mellow Blue Stuff.

Just listened to those sid. Fair play, I enjoyed them and I liked the nods to modern culture or whatever you’d call it in the lyrics. Videos look like good laugh too - I reckon you’re the shaper playing guitar with your top off in the first video.

just saw celebrate on this thread, always preferred this one though

David Byrne and Brian Eno, best tune I’ve heard in a while. It’s a grower.

You are correct Bandage. I won’t have to wear a name tag so if I decide to go to the next TFK jamboree. We do try and keep songs topical, we did one recently about yer wan Sharon Collins called Lying Eyes. Videos are just all homemade stuff done on a digital camera and pieced together.

Another one of the songs from 2008.

Shearwater - Rooks

Keeping up the tradition of classics covered by Elliott Smith.

The Kinks - Waterloo Sunset

And Elliott’s version

No apologies for putting Jizz In My Pants on this thread.

It’s the debut single from The Lonely Island’s debut album.

I think it’s excellent - check out Meadow Soprano in the video:
