Turkish Song Of The Damned - The Pogues

[jalehtri]

Turk from Wisconsin. I love it!

[AhmetDiyorki]

bu nasıl türk müziği len ?

[elemeno82002]

the wire!!!!!!

[wawindaaji]

i want this song in zagreb

[daniv1700]

is this video from gangs of new york?

[Thescreamingcucumber]

not gonna lie, these two things are the best combonation since bread and butter.

[kespec]

begginning just makes me loop it over and over

[MrGutley]

This is REAL dance music, that actually makes me want to dance, not the bleepy drivel they play in nightclubs that only makes me want to to leave.

[cerenimoon]

'A vessel sink on an island in Turkey. and the entire crew died except one man. he and all the money saved. But the ghosts of the crew, will be chasing him.When he danced with a turkish song,ghosts of his friends came and take him to the hell...'This is the story of this song or not???

[Spirosaur]

@cerenimoon Well, the song doesn't get too specific about what happened. All we know for sure is the ship sank, the dude got himself safe while leaving his shipmates to die. The captain and crew are with the other guy come to get revenge. I think the other guy also survived, but only barely. No particular reason to think he's alive, just makes sense to me that the spirits would need a living person to hunt down their victim, why they're all lying in wait and he's not

[cerenimoon]

Its my damned song...

[spentonmediocrity]

Hollywood is quite good with the aesthetics and imagery...it's the slimy film that is Holowood's agenda and the way they so dumb things down so the average fool can digest it that turns me away.

The Pogues,on the other hand,are pure class.

[TheMrKoray]

why turkish i really didnt understand :D

[McMarcoP]

@TheMrKoray

Shane McGowan tells the story. He was listening to some radio station abroad when some listener asked for "Turkish Song" by The Damned; the DJ didn't know of the band, so he said that he was unable to find "Turkish Song of the Damned", and who sung it anyway. So Shane decided it would have been nice to write a "Turkish Song of the Damned".

[baryshxxx]

@McMarcoP cool story bro, like it ;P

[duh4n]

@TheMrKoray bende neden Türk oldugunu anlamadım :P

[illusionfreak]

I'm diggin it!

[MrKeano13]

Alive F'en alive song

[sebseb1]

this video is greaaaat

[Arseface87]

Turkish Song Of The Damned for Christmas number 1!

[smearyllama]

What movie is this from? and what is the movie about? (looks neat)

[wintervorst]

Gangs of New York, google it, awesome movie

[ulfsark9]

If you bother to read the info on the side ... it'll tell you.

[smearyllama]

well, we're all a bit lazy sometimes

[ShootAtGameOver]

Excellent rhythm

[Linadeg]

Just saw the Pogues in Newcastle - again! Still great, still loud - still pissed - JOY!

[uttini]

i love how this was timed perfectly to reveal day-lewis. he is such a legend!

[sebseb1]

scorsese should have had the pogues in the soundtrack, fit sso well

[KnightOwl2006]

This is such an amazing tune. Goes well with the Gangs of NY footage, nice call.

[RebuclicOfTurkey]

Why turkish ?

[TheWilliamcale]

exotic nature of the licks

[TehFnorkShit]

The best part of this song is the outro (lol)

[Linadeg]

I want this played at my funeral - really  LOL

[omarshinken]

@Linadeg lets hope its soon - really lol

[HartelozeKlootzak]

this song is obviously inspired by the rime of the ancient mariner by Coleridge, and Coleridge was an opium addict. Because he suffered from a very painful disease.

[TheWilliamcale]

Dead Ráibéad!!!!!!!!!!

[teamdebt]

What album wasthis on?

[Pufform]

If I should fall from grace with God :)

[LostPilgram]

indeed

[MmeLEnfer]

"If I Should Fall From Grace With God"

[jinkyocfc]

never mind. It makes you proud to be Irish.... In strange way!

[PutItAway101]

WTF this has nothing to do with opium, why do so many retards post bullshit comments on things they know nothing about ?

[fuytabe]

it ıs really awsam song.. proud to be a turkısh to lısten to thıs typ of song...

[Pitfossil]

fuytabe - I am German and have no idea - is there Turkish background in the melody?

[postalf]

are you really german there are millions of turkish live in there thats odd anyways the intro is oriental and the things about smoking opium and so on....

[gristlethrob777]

smoking opium???

[Kubrsnica]

GREAT SONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[capheind]

cause all Irish are damned, by the blood off cucullen. Tiz tha nature our xistance.

[Moeggel3000]

devilish! GOOD SONG!

[Elaksiphenidis]

Turkish song of the damned? why damned??

[trollfinger]

Well I'd say change damned with dead and you can see it. It's about the "dead coming to claim a debt" from him.

[Poguesfan137]

always liked that movie. this is a great visual for the song.

[mathgeek37]

Maybe "Another Bag of Bricks" isn't so much of a rip-off, but a homage to their heroes. I hear the similarities, but there are distinct differences as well. Kind of like listening to Denis Leary before you've heard of Bill Hicks.

[lsnows]

mathgeek 37: you hit the nail on the head.

[SetAbominaeTr]

erm could someone explain that this song has to do with Turkish...

[SSSputnik77]

nothing in deed, in the early 80's the pogues were in germany playing some gigs. One fan asked Shane if he liked "the turkish song" by the damned. He just borrowed the that sentence for the title, the turkish song of the damned.

[TheShorelessC]

This song is about a sailor who has smoked opium for the first time in a Turkish opium den, it's the Turkish song of the damned because he knows that he's addicted and it'll kill him

[hanshotfirst1138]

@TheShorelessC Metaphor! Never thought of it that way!

[Pomegranatem]

tune is also in 'mirkelam - elma değil ayva'

[oliver23b]

whata tune

[polarisdw]

it only took me a couple of seconds to think of Another Bag Of Bricks. Im a huge Molly fan and i love that song, but i actually like this version better the original version apparently)

[RocketBora28]

dont forget this song maked a türks !! forever türkiye!

[1HAETJ00]

brilliant.

[AKfromUSA]

BTW Brillent song and video

[0hypnotoad0]

My god does this song sound like "another bag of bricks."

[AKfromUSA]

Q)and where did flogging molly get it from?

A)The Pogues

[ClashCityRockers0]

Well said! Very succinct, and of course correct

[hanshotfirst1138]

@AKfromUSA

"And thanks to the Pouges and the Dubliners for years of inspiration."

DRUNKEN LULLABIES liner notes.

[samhaindk]

Greeat!!

[quartertill12]

fuckin great

[KTKnight86]

A great song here.. does anyone else think flogging molly's another bag of bricks sounds alot like this, or is it just me? obviously this came before, just pointing out similarities

[ClashCityRockers0]

Yeah - The Pogues are a huge influence on Molly. Like "Sentimental Johnny" sounds very much like the Pogues' "Fiesta" ... there are even vids comparing those two sets of songs.

[KTKnight86]

yea i found of em compairing minutes after i made that comment

[ClashCityRockers0]

hehe well it's good you noticed the similarities. For me anyway it's hard to miss ... Molly're great but Pogues are better and Molly should be the first to admit that I imagine! Any way FM rock as well.

[lsnows]

Yeah, I actually confused one song for the other. I thought Molly did a cover of the Pogues.

[rakettfua]

Didn't like the movie at all, but I like this song :)

[tompetty832002]

You remember when the ship went down

You left me on the deck

The captains corpse jumped up

And threw his arms around my neck

For all these years Ive had him on my back

This debt cannot be paid with all your jack

yesssssssssss. gets not better

[CaptainDiscount]

The pogues are amazing. MacGowan is a feckin genius

[lizardomanson]

I want to see a clip from the beginning where liam nielson is telling the boy about St. Michael.

[OCRebels]

Perfect Scenes for This Song! They Ruined The Movie By Casting Leonardo Dicaprio. I wasn't buying him at all.

[PurplexStars]

They ruined the movie with the whole Leo/Diaz romance. They could have used that wasted time to develop bill's character a bit more. And that would have been 10 times more interesting than any romance between those two.

[thesaint6169]

yeah Leonardo Dicaprio did not do a good job with that role. they should have gotten Colin Farrel at least he's irish.

[CaptainDiscount]

Tbh I think the ending killed the whole film

[RiverMorgan]

Collin Farrel would've sucked in this movie. Leo is an arrogant son of a bitch, but you have to give credit where credit's due. He's a brilliant actor.

[trollfinger]

You mean Amsterdam Valentine. what kind of Irish name is that ?

[holden125]

They said the woman was wailing away "while you danced to the Turkish song of the damned."  They never said this music WAS the Tursish song of the damned.

[thenelaware]

Hi everybody and Happy New Year !!

Sorry for the silence but I left home some months ago to make a world trip and I just return.

(Feb 09, exactly nine months from the day I left Dun Laoghaire for "cette obscure clarté qui tombe des étoiles")

Thanx for all your posts, messages, video responses.. I promise to read everything.. it may take time :)

[wallflower006]

[darktexas]

[postalf]

[beavisHchrist]

hey, cool idea!! I LOVE This song

[turbocolic06]

shit

[TheDoorsFan1232]

where is the original song with the drum and flute this version isnt as good

[QuincyDan]

I don't think this is playing in stereo. It's the same version as the album, but a channel or track or whatever you call them seems to be missing. Maybe there's some limit on the posting.

[RichyTheHobo]

Yeah, I noticed that too...takes a fair bit away from the song.

[QuincyDan]

Still a great idea....to put this to those scenes from the movie. It really works well.

[titokawaru]

It is the name given to the song on the album

[Virginiavim]

The Pogues haven't broke up! They just went on tour!

[sacredshysie]

They broke up for a while and just recently got back together. People need to start keeping up to date with them...

[Virginiavim]

Obviously. I'm talking about recently. And I keep up with them just fine, thanks.

[BenjaminStorey1989]

can some one post this clip but with the original music :( or send me a link to it :D thanks love BEnjamin Xxx

[whalecanes]

Gangs Of New York

[fawndavid]

what movie is this?

[lieberso]

Hm, I realy like the Pogues. But I also like this movie and must say the original music for this sequence fits much better.

[gingerhead45]

wat is the original music for it?

[zenbed]

This song rocks! Thx for the post!
