[CaptainDuBois1]

God so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wintergsouth]

SEAN MCAIN cant write songs / HE CAN barely play an acoustic guitar

[mattman91c]

He has one hell of a voice.

[Beck4582]

This song reminds me of an Irish song called South Australia. Has the same kind of beat-driven verse. Love it. :)

[WindRiverRider]

I love this song, but can't help it, I like it a lot better when Darrell sang it...

[snowbarbieblue]

"SING!!"

[phatmanwc]

I'm from Ireland, moved to Canada about 3 years ago, and only then did I discover GBS. Where has this music been all my life?!

[msgeniusgirl1]

the couple dancing <3 <3 soo cute

[hockeyman3011]

hmm this song makes me cry because i miss home

[nicolenjohn]

Um no, he is good friends with him tho :)

[SquallBerserk]

Is the lead singer brother of Russell Crowe?

[barbiebreakdown1243]

no not related but they do know eachother the singer is in the movie Robin Hood with Russell Crowe, he plays Alan of Dale

[jawhovian]

I love this band and this song...however as much as I like Alans voice darrell sang it better.

[lawlzd00domg]

The couple dancing at 2:09 made me really happy.

[jackdavenportsbaby11]

this group is amazing! I can't believe I've never heard of them! their singing voices are amazing ♥

the lead guy screaming "SING!!" made me laugh :)

[byronkentgraham]

At 1:03 sean get man handled!

[SpecialAgentRavage]

lmao "SIIIIIING!" that makes me laugh every time XD

[svvgp]

the guy shrieking gets me every time

[punkskabassist87]

I prefer Darrell singing it! I discovered GBS two months ago and have devoured their music, but I notice that there is a HUGE difference in the energy levels the band members display in current shows as opposed to those six or seven years ago

[BahliPadma]

What a nice version, thank you for sharing!

I'm always surprised that more people aren't dancing, but there does seem to be a lack of room...

[FireMedicChick164]

Saw GBS in Westhampton Beach, NY....all I can say is THEY ARE AWESOME!!!

[Thisbloodypave]

First I've heard of 'um. Effin' bostin, come to Brum will spin the halls and raise a beer.

[photochik02]

Two people accidentally the whole dislike...

[koneko279]

WICKED!!!!!!!

[tilkenaer]

[Mani231290]

@tilkenaer Stalker. xD lol

[tilkenaer]

@Mani231290

[robohobo]

I want to be a pirate....

[Bactchan]

Two people lost wives in Harbour Grace. Or they're just tonedeaf.

[silkysol]

Recently discovered these guys on Pandora.. Everything I have since heard I can't get enough of.. Great song!

[redhairedhoney]

wqell I love it thank you NicoleJohn. It is a lovely version

[lovedeliberate]

Séan's little scream after "the screeches from her, truly, you could hear in Carbonear" always makes me laugh. That and "SING!" I hope to be able to see them play someday. I can't imagine leaving a GBS show with anything but a smile on my face.

[Nirad007]

@lovedeliberate i was at one and you can't

[TheSandsie13]

i don't know about anyone else but i'm not sure i'd be goin on an excursion around the bay with these guys. chances are they'd get lost. love GBS anyway.

[spiffy143]

So.Freggin.Catchy.

[TheSandsie13]

geez i though only our midge ure ( ultravox frontman) dances daftly but our sean dances just as daftly. love GBS.

[91ACDC91]

I always thought Sean McCann originally sang the lead vocal for this. But it was actually Darrell Power. I guess Murray Foster can't cut it

[AuntieMHere]

@91ACDC91 @91ACDC91

Murray "can't cut it"?!? He and Darrell have/had different GBS roles... Just listen to his part here, and to a recent cut of Old Brown's Daughter... and tell me how many in this universe other than Murray could do the bass notes justice like that! (OK, besides Barry Carl) :)

BTW, I still miss Darrell (The Professor).

[ndvfdff33]

@AuntieMHere Maybe Richard Sterban from the Oak Ridge Boys. That mofo has a deep voice.

I like Murray and think he fits in just fine. I miss Darrel too.

[byronkentgraham]

I'm an Alberta boy born an raised only been to Newfoundland once but i love this music i love saint johns, hell i love the whole damn province

[astrofoid109]

good song frank lol

[samtucker07]

[gdgest]

5*^ Most awesome. Thanks for sharing. :-)

[bmxman7]

"SING!!!" makes me laugh every time

[BWayee]

number one song of all time

[WhiskeyBear27]

USL Newfie Bus, Edmonton, Leaving/ Going to the site.... Best time out to work ever thanks to one labradorian, one coaster, and two newfie

[usaftwilight]

First time hearing this song tonight on Pandora. This song rocks. Can't get it outta my head.

[booboo299301]

allan doyle sing it so much better than darrens darrens is pretty good but allan doyle makes it sound better

[garycleghorn]

where did Darren ever go????

[PrecededToker]

Whats wrong with young Fans? ;o

[SoulMusic121]

For a second I thought that was Dave Matheson on accordion and my old Früheart went pitter-pat.

[Davinez101]

Well it was on this monday morning And the day be calm and fine A harbour grace excursion With the boys who had the time And just before the sailor Took the gangway from the pier I saw some fellow haul me wife Aboard as a volunteer Oh me, oh my, I heard me old wife cry Oh me, oh my, I think I'm gonna die! Oh me, oh my, I heard me old wife say, "I wish I'd never taken this excursion around the bay"

[mhicnanolc]

loves it!

[armyman390]

this is my first time hearing this and this song is freaking awesome 5 stars

[MannequinArmy]

I am in absolute love with this song :)

[mspain79]

I love this song....but I really miss Darrell's version. I had no idea what the words were until I heard this version...but Darrell....you are missed!!

[fubar2123]

i love this song, i cant wait till the next time GBS is going to be in vancouver

[foureyes99]

You know, it's nice to be able to understand the words with Alan singing, but I have to agree, it's just not the same without Darrell.

You can barely understand most of what he sings in the Great Big DVD&CD album, but I always find myself just singing along with his muddled syllables anyway...

[ndvfdff33]

Great song, although its not the same without Darrell singing it.

[NEWFIE78SAL]

I love this song

[nicolenjohn]

I just thought all the GBS fans would like a good clear version.

Enjoy :)

[gegot1]

@nicolenjohn you were right I love this song and GBS
