[generalowns100]

Weird as it is my last name in gailik is leader or king yet i aint no royalty

[generalowns100]

Its called an irish flute not a tin whistke

[PecosMtJeff]

@generalowns100 hmmm... perhaps you should inform the people who made them and sold them to me...

[Melonfish1979]

@generalowns100 Actually its a tin whistle, the Irish flute is an octave lower and usually also in D.

[sonofbagodonuts]

[SkotFischer]

I had a wooden whistle, but it wooden whistle,

Then I got a tin whistle and now I tin whistle.

[rcroxyosox1]

nice fuckin job

[nflannery59]

Nicely played folks.

[TrippPrincess666]

Did an awesome job!!!!

[henrynevins]

I don't know why the Irish (an American-Irish decent myself) always lament about the cruelty of the English. Yes its completely justified, but the American way is to kick the ass of any one who treads on the US. If I lived in Ireland, as a pro-Irish American, I'd become the Al Sharpton of the Irish people. How about demanding reparations from the UK for the 1860's genocide and demeaning "Irish Jokes" told daily on any BBC TV news/programs? The English are deformed perverts with Chicklet teeth.

[crystalys420]

@henrynevins omg i love you!!!!

[Roevolle]

i cant remember how many times i have pressed that bloody replay button, I SHOULD BE SLEEPING! >.<

[PecosMtJeff]

@Roevolle... Now That made me laugh! I'm picturing you sitting there half asleep in front of your computer, just coherent enough to click occasionally; eyelids flickering as the drool surreptitously drips onto the keyboard and you dream in slomo of losing your head to the swing of the bloody axe... Go to bed young man!

[CreatureParallax]

@PecosMtJeff >>>>>drunk nuff said

[RowanGT]

my nan was irish, but i wish i was full blood irish, i love the traditional music more than anything, so patriotic!

[TommyBassman1983]

ace

[guitarfreek009]

Would it be possible for the chords. I would love to learn this amazing song.

[yairidy90]

@guitarfreek009 Scroll through the comments, we posted the chords numerous times. Thanks for listening.

[brianto12]

great song

[donnaf630]

are they saying raw ham ?

[yairidy90]

@donnaf630 - We are saying "O' Hannrahan", but raw ham will work too!

[donnaf630]

@yairidy90 oh right now it makes sense to me lol

[88crazymonkeys]

would it be possible to get the tabs an lyrics to the song i would love to learn it.

[crystalys420]

[Hogo69]

Amazing performance, though you guys could of at least been drinking beers !

[czobsessed]

you guys made my day.......love this  video :)

[rathmullan2]

The wind blew,the shit flew,  Then down the street came Donahue"!

[nKRiZZo]

My last names Donohoe, we're a rare breed!

[PecosMtJeff]

@nKRiZZo Aye...Rare and "Never Unprepared" (according to the ancient creed of the clan)...

[reedty15]

@PecosMtJeff Donohoe is indeed a rare irish name but so is Gillock from 1117. Thats my last name lol But yours is cooler! Ancient Creed of Gillock Clan. Ung Roy, ung foy, ung loy. One King, one faith, one law.

[legionireland]

@nKRiZZo aye an i'm an O'Phealan

[blazedjuggalo42069]

@nKRiZZo lol donoHOE

[nKRiZZo]

@blazedjuggalo42069 heard that

[TheMakemFolksinger]

love it, brillant nice sound man , cheers The Makem Folk Singer

[MatheusMK3]

Can't stop to whistle this song..

[Melonfish1979]

Can i ask what key that tin-whistle is in please?

cracking cover btw :D

[PecosMtJeff]

@Melonfish1979 That whistle is in the key of D...

[RichieDOF]

I must learn this and sing it at my gigs,lol If ye ever come to Ireland look us up, ye can do this song, Id love to see the reaction of people who don't get it!!!!! Funny

[matrixd4]

im sorry but that guy is William Shatner.... no way hes not lmao jk jk

[boxingkids2]

id love to have a download link for this, fellas.

i need a good irish tune to drive my car in.

[yairidy90]

Geez, sorry! We didn't mean to start a civil war when we recorded this! Like Jeff said, it's a parody. We're both from Irish decent (my Mum was a McDonald). If we can't laugh at ourselves it's a shame. I hope at least Denis would be proud of the version we've done.

Mike Grimes

[Djabidde]

honestly, i dont care if its comedy or not, its is well played, ur voices are matching the guitar very nicely, and i can feel the fun u have playing this song; that by the way is the reason im learning it now :) keep on playing guys, you rock!

[tillyireland]

Just stumbled on to this one , love it , without a sense of humour we are lost , life`s just to short, well played!!!!

[Doniedaff]

@tillyireland

Exactly right Tilly!

[TheMikeyoshea]

as an irish man im insulted to be honest! but i guess as with all you yanks you got your stereo types supersized from mcdonalds! typical

[PecosMtJeff]

@TheMikeyoshea I'm guessing that you never watched Saturday Night Live many years ago when Denis Leary first performed this song (it's over the top comedy....DUHHH). As the progeny of Irish immigrants we have learned that it is healthy to laugh at ourselves and our own heritage. No insults intended... as I said a few comments back... "The whole point I get from the song is making fun of the over-the-top stereotypes of the Irish"

[Doniedaff]

@TheMikeyoshea

Oh and you're speaking for all of us are you? I'm Irish and I think it's hilarious. It's clearly a pisstake. Not a big fan of Dennis' stand up but his songs are brilliant.

[TheMikeyoshea]

@Doniedaff but are you actrually Irish or was your great great great great great great grand mothers goat irish and so you claim to be Irish? like obama Irish!

[Doniedaff]

@TheMikeyoshea

I'm born and bred here, you condescending prick. I'm as Irish as you'll get, but unlike you I happen to have a sense of humour. Oh and the word is ACTUALLY. I'm not sure what actrually is supposed to mean?

[TheMikeyoshea]

@Doniedaff Well if that's the kind of rubbish you find funny then i truly do have pity on you and I'm slightly embarrassed for you! Oh and just to point out that due to human error that i made a TYPO. It must be tough to be as simple as you.

[Doniedaff]

@TheMikeyoshea

Well, if you're going to call me simple, then do you not think there is an onus on you to not then make a fool of yourself by making typos? (The 'I' in your stupid rant should be capitalised by the way.) You are clearly a pompous dickhead of the highest order. My initial problem with your post was that you assumed to speak for an entire nation, you don't. Any Irishman I know who has heard this song, loves it. We're not all dry bolloxes like you.

[GodsEliteSoldier]

Respect

[sadiyahm1]

if you really listen to the song you can hear the story of irish back then

[PecosMtJeff]

@sadiyahm1 Ah Yes.... O'Hanrahan and the battle at the bisquit factory for starters...

[nbs90]

Was that a pirate sound at the end:P?

[PecosMtJeff]

@nbs90 That would be Pirateese. Aye! ARRRRRRGH

[crystalys420]

@PecosMtJeff i love you guys and this song...better done by you!!!

[themooddisorders]

what are the chords?



[PecosMtJeff]

@themooddisorders The chords are listed a bunch of times in the comments below...

[Florisvdkaas]

whats that songs name? :)

[PecosMtJeff]

@Florisvdkaas Traditional Irish Folk Song, By Denis Leary (No Cure for Cancer CD)

[dagnab1]

I am irish and i like that track its a nice little tune

[donzeac]

Is there anyway I can get a copy of this song for personal use and to show to friends? Its sooooooo well done.

[PecosMtJeff]

@donzeac I think there is a method for downloading from YouTube, but the file is much to large to email.

[yarn678]

sounds a bit like Scarborough Fair

[sirivrhnje1]

what is called that instrument which had that guy at right please answer anybody.tnx

[PecosMtJeff]

@sirivrhnje1 Irish Tin Whistle...key of D

[Icequeenxxx]

Well played, lads...

[nimalan18]

ALL HAIL DRINKING!!!!!!! NO MATTER WAT HAPENS U MUST DRINK!!!!!!! XD

[Cotmweasel]

Someone bring me a drink!

[Dougster]

Well done, gentlemen

[AssholeRick69]

The shorter guy looks like William Shatner.

[KayWal1981]

WOW this is so cool i love it

[DontSetSelfOnFire]

Wow. This is the music from the land of which my family comes... I was breathless when he started playing the whistle...

[TheMikeyoshea]

@DontSetSelfOnFire no it is not we dont sit in the pub all day and frankly we dont listen to what ye seem to interperate as irish music listening to that is like listening to pirates of the carribean

[FeminaReal]

Who knew William Shatner could play the tin whistle?

Great work, chaps.

[lxbjerre]

Love the text in the vid.. :) HEY!! haha.. thats funny. And great song to

[aronstreasure]

As a Man from Blackrock, I think oyu boys are tip top.  keep 'em comin' mates.

[Kilgore1004]

This is great. Well done gents!

[bajgergabajgerga]

oh shit, i'm not irish but every single time when is hear irish fiolk music or drinking songs i got goosebumps

i live in an east european country, i love my home, but i can't feel our folk music, it's beautiful too, but you know, maybe it's an instict or st. usually i'm cynical person, it's not a romantic bullshit, but i know my family from the north somewhere... i'm not a f*ckin racist sovinist moron, i like many culture and people, but this spirit magnetize me

[sirangeluss]

Great :) respect 2 yous!! :)))

[Tracid007]

Happy St patrick's day! Éirinn go Brách

[Caseymb2]

Happy St. Patrick's day From Milwaukee!!

[goodvocalcover]

i wana learn the flute i use to play guitar and wanted to be good at it but fuck that flute pwns all was gay in school but now i respect how ballin it is

[giantmothlbr]

fantastic. but, is it just me, or do they look to anyone else an awful lot like william schatner and leonard nimoy?

[yairidy90]

@giantmothlbr - "Shatner & Nimoy", I think I found a new name for the group! Totally logical...

[85132holyshit]

Fella's great job...Im here now having a beer jamin with ya....Loves discovering new tunes....Nice bass also.....May your lips never be dry....

[boc234]

Good job, Good whistle work, too!

[Paulgnewton]

I find Irish music is very disturbing! But awesome! I love it! Wish you could come to Arkansas I'd hire you for my parties!

[Doniedaff]

@Paulgnewton

This is not in any sense authentic Irish music. It is a comedy song by an American comedian. Funny as anything, but not a real folk song.

[sonofdixie88]

im must be irish im a drunk and love this type of music

[axewound2008]

lol,why is he holding the bass?

[PecosMtJeff]

@axewound2008 Well...lets see... we probably played 25 to 30 songs that evening, and this was the only one without a bass part... then at the end I use it as a percussion instrument... not much sense in taking it off for just one song. Besides... I feel like I'm naked without it!

[whythewar1]

@PecosMtJeff God I love the Irish, I have some Irish blood in me.

[whythewar1]

@PecosMtJeff Plus then again this is making fun of the Irish.

[kipperdude1]

great job on a great song you showed a lot of respect for those who have gone before can't wait for the 17 th to get here

[8Zeitgeist]

google takes another bite of my byte?

F my life

You have linked your YouTube account (8Zeitgeist) to your Google Account

[johnhebb1987]

[MrChristian1792]

[MrChristian1792]

@MrChristian1792 Sorry for the late RESPONSE ....due to a military status issue .. i actually live in New Bedford ,Massachusetts in the U.S of course and i do some open mic nights in the down town area in the whaling city usually every Thursday

[MrChristian1792]

i just wanted to know if you guys could give me some help on playing the song cause i want to play it so i could do a cover on my acoustic guitar i just wanted to know the chords and stuff i just cant see how your playing i mean i try to match the sounds and yes im a horrible musician who can play but cannot read music but i try to play and i wanted to know that TRADITIONAL IRISH DRINKING SONG ....MrChristian1792 thank you very much if you can help

[PecosMtJeff]

@MrChristian1792 OK, one more time. It's Em, G, D, Em. with an A instead of a D where the word "we" is in "Our children are leavin and WE have no heads" Then the Chourus is C, D, Em As in "O' Hannrihan, no O'Hannrihan" The tin whistle part is Em, D, Em, G, D, Em. Very simple... Have fun (play it on St Patrick's day)...Jeff & Mike

[cgofme]

@cgofme

They buried O'Neill down in Country Shillhame

The poor children crying a fe dee din de

Hin fle di din fle di din fle de din de

In hey bibble bibble hey bibble bibble hey fle bibble de

O'Hanrahan, no O'Hanrahan!

We drink and we sing and we drink and we sing, hey!

We drink and we drive and we puke and we drink, hey!

We drink and we fight and we bleed and we cry, hey!

We puke and we smoke and we drink and we die, hey!

[cgofme]

@cgofme (thumb up the lyrics!) They come over here and they take all our land They chop of our heads and they boil them in oil Our children are leaving and we have no heads We drink and we sing and we drink and we die We have no heads, no we have no heads! They come over here and they chop off our legs They cut off our hands and put nails in our eyes O'Grady is dead and O'Hanrahan's gone We drink and we die and continue to drink O'Hanrahan, no O'Hanrahan! Ho!

[Phelanar]

Hah, turns out awesome things happen here in Albuquerque after all.

[crystalys420]

I would love it!!! If you posted some epic ,amazing, irish music (like this) on Saint Paddy's day. for all of us who think you have done one hell of a job of making our irie music noticed! I for sure would love you for ever!

[chrismak1]

Great job lads. Any chance you can do n update for st Patricks day. Give that tin whistle another workout on this one youtube.com/watch?v=x7yQSQeP6L­g&feature=related

[PecosMtJeff]

@chrismak1 We shall see... If we end up with a camera around at the right moment...

[EdZimmerman]

Cheers

[crystalys420]

LOVE IT! My great grandparents came from ireland to america but they instilled the love of our music thru the generations! love it!

[wolfsinghproductions]

My granddad was good mates with tHe irish! They had pritty the same kind ov treatment from the english, tHey named him paddy! We are sikh, same colours in flag, same culture in drink, and sometimes I feel the music to be in connection. Luv u ppl

[Drink14You]

That's good drinkin' music.

I will...

[AGalaxyFurther]

GREAT!

[maddogg211]

[Swervedeal]

Do we love 'em?

Well I know that I do!

[Lady999Death]

[linzee4584]

[UnBreadCZ]

Hey!

[Schmahxgn]

EPIC WIN!!!

[openerup]

They cut off our heads, and we continue to drink? So that's where 'chuck it down yer neck' comes from....!! (",)

[R4vlj3ira1]

sounds like andean music really NICE AWESOME

[seanshields]

IRISH PRIDE 

[Bilal1Page]

this is soo great! does anybody have the lyrics ?

[dago0109]

Whats the meaning of the words in Irish? I gotta make a presentation about Ireland for school and I'm playing this song, but I need to know what the words in Irish mean. Very good video by the way; very professional.

[PecosMtJeff]

Oh Geeze... you picked the wrong song for a serious presentation... What we sing is gibberish. All the Irish words in the original version may have some significance, but I sort of doubt it (You might check a Celtic dictionary)... The whole point I get from the song is making fun of the over-the-top stereotypes of the Irish. We're laughing at ourselves & our heritage (O'Donohoe & Fitzgerald & Grimes) They say God created whiskey so that the Irish would not rule the world.... too busy drinkin...

[astronaut595]

@PecosMtJeff nice!! by the way, what flute is that?

[PecosMtJeff]

@astronaut595 It is a Soodlums tin whistle in D

[chaos3nigma]

@astronaut595 its an irish tin whistle

[allrockirwin23]

@PecosMtJeff Could you give the chords for the song?

I've figured Em, GM, DM, CM, but nothing else.

Btw, this is AWESOME!

Cheers!

[PecosMtJeff]

@allrockirwin23 OK, one more time. It's Em, G, D, Em. with an A instead of a D where the word "we" is in "Our children are leavin and WE have no heads" Then the Chourus is C, D, Em As in "O' Hannrihan, no O'Hannrihan" The tin whistle part is Em, D, Em, G, D, Em. Very simple... Mike

[TheGiuanni]

@PecosMtJeff THANKS MAN, GREAT

[cyclps]

@dago0109 You should watch the savage eye. It a accurate reason for why the irish drink its because we have always felt sorry for ourselves since England invaded us! :P Its also funny

[mpnoname1]

this is SO damn good i actually thought it was the original this is going on my ipod too great job

[Chirikukidogo]

Whoa! This is WAY better than the version on iTunes! Love it! :)

[BroomeBlocker4]

Awesome work guys

[JMDub89]

I'm mostly Irish, so this song FREAKING ROCKS!!!

You go, guys! :D

[padookieking]

fucking class. 

[KC9MDO]

Scotland drinks with ye merry mistrals.

[MiGrm9]

Sounds a lot like the original. KUDOS boys :)

[PecosMtJeff]

@MiGrm9 Thanks Michele... Have a great new year... Wow its 1/1/11!

[ultrasuperx]

@PecosMtJeff How can anyone dislike this?! This is awesome!

[sushiqt07]

FUCK YEA!!!! MY FAMS SONG!!! IM A HANRAHAN!!!!! YAY US

[OcarinaTimes]

could you send me the sheet music for the tin wistle please?

[PecosMtJeff]

@OcarinaTimes Sorry... I play the whistle strictly by ear, and I seriously doubt that anyone has written out the actual part ( I play my own variation of the Denis Leary original).... Merry Christmas anyway!!

[OcarinaTimes]

@PecosMtJeff ok thx anyway ;) and merry christmas to you to :)
