I stutter also but I didn't find this offensive at all. It is a very funny song and I think the Irish Rovers did an excellent job as they do on all of their songs.
Thank you so much for posting a concert performance! I used to see them EVERY year in March in Flint MI (for decades). It was one of the highlights of the year. They were always available after the show for autographs and conversation. I have many autographed albums and dozens of wonderful memories. The heart went out of me when Jim died and I haven't seen them since.
This is by far this biggest band to come out of Ireland, and I'm sure this still stands even up to this day, was Gilbert )'Sullivan Irish?, cause he was really big there for awhile in the earlier 70's, anyway so it be. The Irish Rovers' biggest song of coarse was The Unicorn in 1968. I may of not heard this song before and it certainly was played on top 40 radio here in Vancouver Cda. Thx4 postin'
@Ezdduf4kuZ awesome band, i have to disagree...The Wolfetones are hands down the best band to come out of Ireland, as far as record sales go....Nothing against the Rovers, cause i love them both!!!
This video is of the guys in their best years - the early-to-mid 1970s. Not that they haven't always been great, just that those were their best years - the time of their TV show. Would love to see the rest of the concert posted here.
@LadyDeerskin This isn't an album - it's a live concert of the Rovers. 'Lily the Pink' is available on more than one album - I know for sure it's available on their 'Greatest Hits' compilation, produced in 1974(?) [yes, it is available on CD].
I saw them and met them in Selkirk and had a balst. Thye were super nice and lots of fun. My dad had them on his airplane once when he flew for Trans Air and they autographed a bunch of stuff for us kids. Awesome guys.
@VicFerrari308 Damn, you're lucky :D At my library a woman dressed as Lydia Pinkham and she played this song for us when she told us the history(most of which i knew being a bottle collector) of her medicine.
The synching is a little off, but wonderful regardless of that. Love the Rovers, love that you put these up for us to experience. Saw them once in Des Moines and had a ball.
always loved this song

We sang this song when we were in Primary 1 for all the parents... no doubt they wouldn't let kids sing this song these days but we all loved it!
