Pogues Interview on Irish TV

[MrSteamboatWillie]

Gotta love Shane. He really talked different back then

[padraic2001eire]

Does anyone know what Cait O'Riordan says at 0:52 after Gay Byrne says, "I know it's Ireland, Cait, but whereabouts in Ireland?".

[MACA001able]

wat dose Pogue mahome mean?

[211FairyTale]

Now-a-days it's hard to believe that anything was ever banned for something as tame as Kiss my ass...

[MrDasolja]

man i hate Byrne....but i dident like Kenny to much lol

[cfcolly]

this is a great interview. i love the pogues and MacGowan. what a bunch of legends

[EBABE90611]

BRiLLiANT XO

[CourtyardPigeon]

[finlan9]

@CourtyardPigeon no, just young:)

[joxter74]

Who's the muppet?

[rpd1962]

[xxwestsidevixenxx]

I love Shane he the king! he looks well here <33

[grimble112]

what does pogue mahone mean?

[jefftipps]

"Kiss me arse" in gaeilge

[DMcGilligan]

@grimble112 it aint pogue mahone, it's pog ma thoin.

[mitch26]

@DMcGilligan The band themselves spelled it as Mahone, I still have a shirt somewhere with it that way.......

[DMcGilligan]

@DMcGilligan I know I'm not giving you slack man, they "Angelicised" it just like we were forced to do with our surnames Mc Gilligan > Mac Giollagain, just educating you, since you asked what it means Pog mo thoin means kiss my arse

[treid100182]

AAHHHH!!!

Bob Geldof sighting!!!!

[colemanno1]

shane macgowan is my fuckin hero. " and these 3 are brits" hahaha

[boovidge]

Come over to London and make fun of the accent there, Gay. See how long you last!

[Flipper79able]

@boovidge Calm down. I'm sure he was just joking.

[otherguy5]

Great stuff. Thanks.

[veroooom]

kiss my ass.

[Chaataa]

Anyway, they are the best for me!!!

[crazycaleb92]

are they irish punk rock

[innocentsinrocks123]

basicaly

[Zombihamster]

Love the face Cait makes at 0:57 Lol.

[gillesbeg]

This reminds me of that Alan Partridge show, Knowing Me, Knowing You

[yousuck124]

fuck infringing copyrights, fuck sake

[19851914]

Shane looks sober there!

[umbrey]

Gay Byrne and Bob geldof two west brit pricks.

shane your a legend!!

[paulgallagher13]

West Brit?

Gay Byrne is an Irish institution who has been on RTE for decades.

WTF are you on

[timpatjoe]

geldof sounds sooo d4

[joeyjoejoe1916]

0:57. Is it my imagination or does shane say "Lahinch in Clare"?!

[naldo40]

i think she says Lagos in Nigeria

[ExodusPessoa]

Can anyone tell me what Bob Geldof is talking about? My apologies I'm a 27 year old Jamaican Canadian who doesn't know a lot about Irish culture but is willing to learn (lol).

[kerrykop]

Their talking about both bands useing the phrase Póg mo thóin(Pog Mahone)which means kiss my ass in Irish and being band for it.

[ExodusPessoa]

Can anyone tell me what Bob Geldof is talking about? My apologies I'm a 27 year old Jamaican Canadian who doesn't know a lot about Irish culture but is willing to learn (lol).

[seanobrien321]

pog mo thoin in the Irish language means 'kiss my ass'....and bob was talking about how the English didnt understand that...

[otherguy5]

So true joanofnarc.

Guess what??? - I may see the remaining pogues this Dec 22 in Dublin!

[70Mack]

Tremendous band,awsome song writing

[lambrini35]

gay is a TWAT

[lughlamh]

could never understand the attraction, on any level.

[mitch26]

Hey, it's Ireland. he had a suit, all his teeth, and could read the cards:)

[ThatTrampGuy]

lol

[willwkrueger]

increasingly becoming a mere commercial commodity. the combonation of rebellious zeitgeist songwriting in the context of profound assertions of cultural and aesthic identity gives Shane depth as a pop entertainment icon compared to U2 etc.

[joanofnarc]

gay byrne and geldof are festering cunts.

[mitch26]

that's very colourful:)

[NORMANGODS]

@mitch26 everyone knows geldof is a cunt

[mancojim]

"or what are yee?" i love how he says that with his accent

[stallione79]

God help him he had the worst teeth i've ever seen.  lol. Now he has none. I do love him though.

[CaptainFTW]

Bob Geldof on top form there the giant cunt.

[allkatsaregrey]

Ace..love it thank youx

[ryanthfc]

saw pogues live at brixton in 07 and shane was in great form then too.

[Coldacre]

kiss my ARSE, not ass. it's not kiss my donkey

[mitch26]

We can't help it if you mis spell the word then....

[Suki40330]

Thought it was Pog Mo Thoin!

[mttm06]

Mcgowan seem ok here. I have seen other more recent videos and now he is completely fucked!!!!

[mitch26]

Dude, you're completely fucked, for one thing you can't even spell his name (he sure has you beat there eh?) and I saw him in DC a couple months ago and he was in great form.

[Rikxcore]

he did spell it right

[mitch26]

Well someone better tell Shane cause he spells it MacGowan. Really, if folks are just going to keep spouting drivel here I'm going to have to turn off comments.

[Rikxcore]

wait nevermind. i didnt realize it was mac intead of mc

[colemanno1]

thanks mith26 for posting this vid

[tommyobrien84]

jaysus mcgowan with teeth

[ruschkyyy]

it's irish for "kiss my ass"..somethin like that!

[27106204]

Gaelic lesson. JESUS!

"Pog" (pronounced 'pogue' means 'kiss'). "Mo" means "my". "Thoin" (pronounced "hoan") means ass. = Kiss my ass.

[LtJackboot]

so I'll bite (no pun intended) what DOES pogue mahone mean?

[mitch26]

Basically, Kiss My Ass.

[DERRYIRELAND]

God wasn't Gay from a different era, he tried to move with the times with the Late Late and Rose Of Tralee, but he just wasn't at the races.

[mitch26]

I dunno his show featured some great talent from what I've seen and he didn't pull any punches, very refreshing when you see the tripe we get from network TV here in the states.

[michaelvkelly1]
