[simonriverdale]

irishdan10990: the tune is also used for "The Girl I Left Behind Me", another Irish song that was taken up by American soldiers and military bands as a marching song.

[metalpunk344]

lol i first heard this song in the movie "I Sell The Dead" great movie.

[tippspur]

Ha Ha,brilliant...!

[irishdan10990]

one thing that i think is funny is that i cant rember the lyrics or name of the song but theres an american song that gets played on like memoral day or something like that that has the exact same tune to this song

[SolarGrooving]

They taught us this song in school!

[karlmarx1848]

All holidays and days out must now be referred to as 'Waxies' Dargles". This is OFFICIAL and I expect you all to comply.

[GuardianOfScotland33]

Its a great party song .

[simmyludilo]

[benbebin]

This song is about me local out in Bray, up the harbour.

[IvIw2STiiTCH]

[BlackKniggit]

Sounds to me like this song would do well as the Irish national anthem.

[BurningYourSkinOff]

Found this song because of the movie "I Sell the Dead" and I fell in love!

[6casi8modo9]

I'm soooo learning to sing this. If only the Oz's Scarecrow had known this one song...

[barneymcgee56]

[alejandro15187]

I'll have a pint. Having one right now actually.

[tinnycringe]

says my ole one ta your ole one will ye go to waxie's dargle? no fucking farthing.

[MondoBeno]

This is a traditional song, but the original was a bit longer. It had another verse where they try to cop a free lunch at a tavern and get thrown in the river.

[Aristurtle89]

i've seen em play this one live, fuckin brilliant!

[alejandro15187]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought they lyrics were" I went up to Kikle or kicle street to the jewish money lenders", not being racist!!! I swear, I think Kikle or kicle means circle in yiddish for the star of David. That's were the term Kike came from--or so I'm told. They'd come over and the immigration officers would put a star of david on their jackets-- or a Kikle Kicle whatever. Any Jews out their want to clariify?

[Aristurtle89]

it's "Capel Street"

[MondoBeno]

KIKE is American, and invented by Jews.

In the 1800's, most Jewish Americans were German, with names like Goldberg, Mandelbaum, Hoffman, etc.

Eastern European Jews came to the USA after 1890. They had names like Shilsky, Pinsky, and Kaminetsky. The established German Jews called them "SKIES" or "Kikes" because the names had the "SKY" suffix.

I never heard "kickle" before. "Maagal" was the usual term for "circle".

The song is right about one thing; a lot of pawnshops were owned by Jews.

[alejandro15187]

Any other questions on Jewish history? I'm not an expert. I just have google and a few Jews in the family. The "Capel Street" is actually right, though. It's a street in Dublin

[irishrebelalert]

yep Capel street is in dublin! was on it just this morning!

[tevyethemad]

Because the pope outlawed Jews owning land in any catholic state correct?

[MondoBeno]

I don't know if the Pope banned Jews from owning land in Catholic states. By the 1800's, most states had Jews owning property (usually in the cities).

Jews were into pawnshops because:

1. In the Middle Ages, Jews were barred from professions and crafts. A Jew could only be a pawnbroker, moneylender, or dealer in second hand goods.

2. To run a pawnshop you don't need skill, money, or a command of the English language.

3. Jews had to be self-employed, because nobody would hire us!

[johnnyv8888]

@MondoBeno ye have done a good job of tryin to own palestine with youre blind faith

[MondoBeno]

Why would I want to own Palestine? It's a mess!

I can't understand why Israeli Jews would want to live in Gaza, when there are a million other places to live in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Ashdod, and the Galilee.

[MondoBeno]

The Eastern European Jews who came to the USA in early 1900's could definitely read, but at the bare minimum. A lot of Jews worked in the laundries because it required no education.

But the children of school age were all sent to school once they came here. Education was of greater importance to Jewish immigrants than others.

[defconn100]

this vid is the last place id expect to find a religous debate

[alejandro15187]

I know man. A long time ago, I posted something about the lyrics. I thought he was saying "I went down to Kikel street" which is wrong it's Capel street to see the Jewish money lender's. The Jew talk has been raging ever since!.

[MondoBeno]

Any other questions about Judaism? I'm an authority on Jewish History.

[alejandro15187]

Surely an expert on Jewish history would know that the Yiddish term for cirle is "Kikel. Illterate Jews fresh off the boat would sign there names with a "0" for the star of david instead of an"X" which-- drum roll please-- is a symbok for Christians (I'll let you figure that one out. Other Russian Jew names include, but are not limited to: " Shapiro, Chagall (great artist), and Reznik (great musician--sometimes).

I have heard the Sky thing, too, thouugh.

[MondoBeno]

During my time in the UK, I never heard anyone use the work "kike".

I asked an Irish Jew, and he said the same thing; he never heard the word "kike" in Dublin. He was fluent in Yiddish and he'd never heard the word "kikel" for circle.

[tevyethemad]

May I just say one thing?

Because our religion essentially dictates that we have to know how to read (in order to make Aliyah and read the torah) very few of the jews coming to the states were illiterate, the problem was they only knew Yiddish and what ever the language of their host country was. So, to the ellis Island customs officers, they'd be illiterate, but with in their own community, they wouldn't be.

[KarmicAnarchist]

Ok, can you tell me if your man, Josephus, had a bit of the Irish in him? It's just that his style of telling a good story, has a bit of an Irish feel to it, his shameless self aggrandisment, & his namedropping, anyone would think he won that Jewish War, on his own, for every side & faction involved, even the Romans, & if he had no Irish blood in him, then he must have been to Ireland & kissed that stone. They could do with another Josephus,right now to sort the Middle East out again.

[MondoBeno]

You don't have to be Irish to be a blowhard.

[KarmicAnarchist]

True enough,

[poguemahone322]
