    A band from my hometown of Durango, CO, called Beltaine, recorded a version of that song in a medley that also contained the theme from X Files turned into a jig.

    THE best drinking song, INMO: Barrett's Privateers by the late great Stan Rogers:

    http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~jacktar/barretts.html

    http://www.chivalry.com/cantaria/lyr...rivateers.html

    Right, Colin? :mrgreen:

    If I had to pick another one, it would have to be Waltzing Matilda. There are just too many to pick from.

    Cheers,

    Todd

    I quite agree with that one...especially if you have a few lads that can sing those harmonies...Stan Rogers = most excellent!

    Barley Mow by Seamus Kennedy is great. You start with a full drink and by the end it's empty.

    How can I not love a song with lyrics like:

    Darren died in Derry
    Taking in the Derry air."

    and

    "My only hope is when
    The Good Lord comes for me and you
    He kills the cast of Riverdance
    And Michael Flattley, too."

    ...it's a PARODY, folks...it's meant to be funny...don't take it seriously...Mr. Flattley is obviously still alive...

    Glad to see another DVN fan here. On my autographed copy of Brontosaurus, however, the lyric is:

    "Ken, he died in Kilkenny
    And Claire she died in Clare
    Tip from Tipperary died
    Out in the Derry air."

    I think my favorite one is,

    "Me crazy Uncle Mike,
    He thought he was a leprechaun,
    But in fact, he's just a leper
    And his arms and legs are gone."
