It's a Long Way to Tipperary

[RebelSoldat1]

This is the version is the one that was sung in Das Boot.

[beamerball666]

I'm confused why are Russian's singing an Irish song?

[bombardus]

oh man this is awesome!!

[prunch72]

Great to know that old Tipperary is so well liked, maybe you should all pay a visit sometime....... and I mean pay, it aint free ya know!. Tipperary Tourist Board, Ireland.

[Fritz109M]

I think it is for honour to the british who support the russian in wwI

[adamswampy]

It's funny some would say it's an Irish song. For why would the Irish portray themselves as being so stupid? (Listen to the verse lyrics). Yep, written by an Englishman with some ( but not exclusive) Irish heritage. You would guess he's English anyway simply because "Paddy" is depicted as being a bit stupid and this fits the English stereotype of the thick Irishman - though in a generally affectionate rather than nasty way. The U.S. version would be Polak jokes.

[iceblue345]

why is the soviet flag in the begining. This is a british/Irish song -.- Not Russian

[peadareen]

Its a british song ..no Irish man would have wrote lyrics like them in fairness!!

[parafleet]

Kill the Kaiser, kill Conrad, kill that Turk peter-puller, and leave the camel fuckers to their camel fucking. And kill everyone in the German army. And kill the Russian revolutionaries. Is that it? Oh. Go to Italy and kill that stupid guido newspaperman Mussolini. I think that's it.

[Lepper36]

@parafleet U Mad, bro?

[parafleet]

@Lepper36 Go read something. Not in a porno magazine or a comic book.

[Lepper36]

@parafleet Yep, you are. You can't even take a bit of humour.

[parafleet]

@Lepper36 I was laughing when I typed that. I was feeling the humor.

[Sander528]

Who is the artist of that song?

[Gabacho2]

das boot!! xD

[madcapromanian]

This must have been the difinitive song of WW1, followed by "Pack All Your Troubles In Your Old Kit Bag".

[5084204]

??? Is that a direction for the Russian Army? Tipperary via whole Europe, hahaha

[mickyc05]

wow brilliant!

[slivedkillu]

It's a very popular British song among the army during WWI.After the war there were many versions of it.

[karlstifler]

great set of pipes on the soloist....

[trje246]

for them (i think) Piccadilly, Strand and Leicester Square, are an equally long way away

[crematio]

The pictute at 0:07 is so funny. A "soldier" with red doublet (= Full dress) scottish kilt with apron and sporran (Field and full dress mix), Glengarry etc ..... And an Irish song. Well, they all used to sing it, but why no Irish unit on the advertisement. Or khaki field dress? Advertising, stupid in any time.

[seili59]

Schönes Lied

[ecnalubma696969]

Fuck you, commies.

[favoritner]

WOW !!!!

GREAT VERSION !!!

[LanaAdams1980]

One time my BF & I were doing a show to get a friend of ours rehired at the Chittenden County Emergency Food Shelf months ago & he used this song for the theme song before we got together, god I love this song! Even had it on my phone for a ringtone every time he called, then eventually we hooked up! LOL

[fenian08]

this song is crazy, ive heard nationalist sing it, unionist, germans and now russians, ah what the hell its a good song

[sumosalar]

Agreed! Saw the Red Army Chorus in Montreal in the '70s - they were amazing. Time to reinvent them - Russian, of course.

[cultofmao]

Great stuff comrades! :)

[cjthegood]

what the hell!!!!

[TashkentFox]

Ireland was part of the United Kingdom when the song was written, so it counts as a British tune.

[diarmuidmcmahon76]

Well tipperary is where the 1st shots against british rule and apression were heard at the start of the war of independance at Soloheadbeg in jan 1919, mrs dan breen and sean tracy were the i.r.a leaders on that great day!!

[Craftie24732292]

Who cares?

[MrOliboy2]

fucking commie, damn lucky to have such work.

[kamilhubal]

Russians dogs.....

[Gorgonych]

[Eujin254]

Subscribe to me people!!!thanks

[ronaldweasleyfan55]

cool

[BenAliGtor]

They did a nice job! The Russian verses are unique- but they have great harmony.

[Irishmermaid96]

......why's the russian army singing IRISH song?? O.o -.O

[XXlegio]

....for the same reason singing the Italian song :D

Pavarotti and more other...bring patience, they have only balalaika and kalinka :P

[Eujin254]

Perhaps they are more open to the west now

[NearlyKnight]

@Eujin254

This song was very popular during the WWII in Russia. It was recorded for a first time in USSR in 1945. And as you can hear, the first verse is in russian (actually, this is a second verse of song). And there is version with all lyrics in russian too. But the song is always about Paddy and Molly O'))) No change here)

[MrBenjammin07]

@Eujin254 They sang this version in das boot, which was before the fall of communism. I think it's because it was a fairly popular song all over the world, and the red's must have liked it as well. Just like the germans in das boot liked it even though it was a song of the enemy

[DmitriKrukov]

@Eujin254 Who cares song is awesome. My two favorite countries in one song.

[Gorgonych]

Why no? Very nice song..

[thetootsietim]

@Irishmermaid96 It's a long long long long long way from Moscow to tipperary, so that's fine.

[cambershots]

@Irishmermaid96 actually its a british war song about the war in ireland you should know that lol no offence but it deos say good by piccadilly and good by liecster square lol

[cameramanAL]

@cambershots They guy who wrote it, Jack Judge, was an Englishman whose parents were from Tipp. It's about an Englishman of Irish heritage longing for the land of his parents. It was made popular by Irish regiments in the British army, specifically the Connaught Rangers. It has nothing at all to do with the British war in Ireland, rather it's about the close family ties that exist between the British and the Irish.

It was actually written on a bet!

[Damnblastify]

@Irishmermaid96 More bizarre than that, it's an English song!

[robbie4233334]

@Irishmermaid96 Actually its not just used by the Russians, Its also used by the Princess Patricia's in Canada.

[Lepper36]

@Irishmermaid96 For the record, the song's British, not just Irish (Doubt the Irish would mock themselves like that anyway, so probably English).

[paddy25c]

@Irishmermaid96 because even the russians want to be irish

[MacFergus22]

@paddy25c The Russians are Irish except the they drink Vokdka instead of Wiskey and are Otherdox Christans not Catholics

[MacFergus22]

@paddy25c and they Russian are Slavs not Celtic as well btw

[Maquereau]

@Irishmermaid96

Music transends all boundaries.

[MrJimmyboy1972]

@Irishmermaid96 because they are good at it!

[kent684]

@Irishmermaid96 Because this song was a song of Red Army ally I remember it And you?

[deutscher16]

fuck of the russian red army !!! rssian blood isn´t red it´s black!!!!

[RUSSIANHAWK1978]

SHUT UP! deutscher16 (

[RUSSIANHAWK1978]

FUCK YOU FASCIST!  deutscher16

[mgkeoh]

Yep, its from the movie "Das Boot". "The tipperary song" is the best and most sung song from 1912 when it was written. I'm Irish and I like the tempo of this version. It was written as a march song originally, and to sing it slowly it not the best way. You

can get a CD with lots of songs by the Red Army Russian choir. When I need to gine myself a push in the day, I have to play this song. I carry it on my phone. Lets make it famous again.

[kimino39]

イギリス陸軍の行進曲を、旧ソ連の赤軍が歌った有名な歌です。私­は共産主義者ではありませんが、祖国の誇りと愛国心を歌った名曲­だと思います。世間で歌うと、愛国心が偏りすぎると思われると思­いますが国家にたいするあつい思いと戦地に赴く友を、やさしく見­守る歌だと私は思います。

[Wardog687]

Isnt this the version from the movie?

[bigjohn697791]

it's a bit funny see-ing a irish rangers marching song making its way across the world

[ninkampoop0321]

oops srry blonde moment

[ninkampoop0321]

Isn't this the Aleksandrov choir? (Russian Red Army choir)
