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.

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,

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

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."
