  • very nice song!!!!!greetings from Greece!!!

  • Great song, I love it.

  • What the hell am I listening to... o_O

  • I LOVE Irish music. It has a pure dionysiac attitude I believe! Greetings from Greece!

  • @darkkill662 is this 6/8?

  • I was a "HEAD" back in the 60's when I was a hippy! If you need me, call me!

  • Now all you need is to learn how to constantly moan about the weather and I'm pretty sure you will be eligible for an Irish passport.

  • @hillman39 haha

  • Sounds like the situation in Black Marsh: "They come o'er here and they shit on our heads They steal all our horses and eat all the bread The lusty Argonian maid has been killed We lie and we cheat and we steal and repeat Argonians! We're Argonians! They come o'er here and they piss on our graves Those who don't kill us take us as slaves The chieftan is dead and his wife's gone insane Said 'Ni ninini, ni ninini, ni nini ni' Argonians! We're Argonians!" Now you selfish Imperial bastards see??!!?
  • I guess you could say I am the opposite of the Irish stereotype as far as drinking goes. I hate alcohol. I love what it stands for, fun times with friends and family, but I hate what it does to the human body and mind

  • Irish are slaves so shut up

  • @ZACHORY008 Dont you dare to say like that

  • Comment removed

  • If this is supposed to be funny.... it's not.

  • Irish Pride! <3 Can't wait to return to my homeland..

  • I love Ireland so much ! <3

  • It's funny cause I'm irish and im drunk right now in my Notredame sweater

  • great song!

    salute from Montenegro!

  • Sounds like the song the bard plays on skyrim.

  • Comment removed

  • ya we drink and have fun' i dont see the problem in that.

  • ez király!!!!!drinking song!

  • this is kinda interesting! I have ancestors from Ireland. I love the music. :) Thanks for sharing this.

  • my last name is hanrahan!

  • If you can't make fun of your country even one as pathetic as my green home land you have no right to bitch about satire

  • Those are some.. unique lyrics, certainly. Can't get them out of my head.

  • YOU ARE ISRAEL NATION !

  • I love this song. Always stuck in my head.

  • This song is in Tuck Everlasting! Wonderful!

  • atleast O'Brien is still going

  • The irish hate their heads!

    

  • who is "they" ?

  • @cobyflex englishmen maybe.

  • 17 people got their heads cut off

  • @mishel24 17 people didn't get their heads cut off, because they're not irish.

  • This was... Beautiful. :'-)

  • we drink and we hahah glub! maybe

  • I hadnt heard this for 5 years... YAY!

  • Nice♪♪

    I'm Japanese but I've heard this song !!

    Hey!! I like to DRINK n SING !! HEY!!

  • Adjuvante Deo in hostes

  • Is it actual folk irish music or is it supposed to be a joke? Cuz we have actual folk songs funny like that where i come from also.. (greece btw)

  • How come so many associate this with drinking? Think this is a song about Englishmen, who oppressed Ireland...

  • Oh, my Gaelic pride swells like a bloated zit, hey!

  • Awesome thing about Denis Leary's music: If you completely shut out the lyrics to drop the comedy (for experimental purposes), the music is STILL great. It's not like Rodney Carrington or Stephen Lynch, where, as funny as their songs are, the comedy is the ONLY thing the songs have going for them.

  • The reason the Irish catch the drinking stereotypes? Noone has the balls to say it to a Russian...

    FUN FACT: My niece is Russian and Irish. Given the stereotypes, I fear for any husbands/boyfriends when she grows up

  • @TheEmperorHasSpoken Interesting theory, but in that case why doesn't anyone speak of a "Russian temper" anywhere near as much as the Irish analog?

  • @wicaco Simple. Russians, at least me and most I know, are more calm angry. It stops us from from swinging wildly like idiots and lets us focus on getting easier wins...

  • @TheEmperorHasSpoken

    im irish, ill throw drinking stereotypes at a russian anyday

  • @TheEmperorHasSpoken I guess you could attribute it to a lack of balls, if it helps you feel better.

    For me, though, it's because the Irish have better drinking music by far. Also tastier drinks. I do prefer the Russian food, though. Still, that's only one out of three.

  • ????

  • This is not aimed at Irish people this is aimed at the American stereotype of the "Oirish"

  • Everyone thinks its cool to make fun of us, but this song tells it exactly how it is in Ireland today. Co. Shillhame never recovered after they buried O' Neill down there. Sure his corpse blighted all the spuds. And the leprechaun famine of '76 left us with no one to blame, when things went wrong. The economy went to shit after the Celtic Tiger got the scutters. And sure since we have no heads, we're fucked altogether. Fucking Brits ruined everything.

  • @hillman39 lol

  • @hillman39 This is the best comment ive ever read on youtube :)

  • @Uzous Thank you sir. I appreciate that. It's my birthday today and I found 2 positive replies in my inbox for this video and one idiot. I find it healthier to thrive on the positivity. Thank you and have a great day.

  • @hillman39 Irish remind me of African Americans. Waaaaahhhhhh it's always someone else's fault. How about your country and its people take responsibility for itself once in a while?

  • @Cameronomics I raise a big dirty pint of stout to all those who have spectacularly missed the point. I'm kind of embarassed for you. I just hope that you can read the comment again and see the error in your ways. Well done on displaying both racism and prejudice, along with a complete misunderstanding of the situation, however. That must have been difficult to muster up all that hatred in one go. No politics here today kid.

  • @hillman39 I love Ireland and one of my good friends grew up there before moving here to America for school. I am related to a Brit and he's nice, but my friend said everything people say about most Brits being stuck up snobs is true. And I believe it. I am Irish and Scot by blood.

    No matter what people do to Ireland, she will still be beautiful and beloved Ireland.

  • @hillman39 Good Day old chap

  • @MrALERTcriminal How's it goin' Bosco?

  • @hillman39 Funfact, no Brits care about Ireland anymore. It's the 21st century.

  • @MattMystrieo By the looks of it, no Brits seem to care about Britain either. I won't be losing sleep over it.

  • @hillman39 True.

  • @hillman39 I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that. What do you mean no Brits care about Britain?

  • @MattMystrieo Have a think about it. I'm sure you'll work it out.

  • @hillman39 Not really. Are you talking politically? Because after the 2008 recessiom I have seen much more involvment from people of all ages in the political spectrum. I'm honestly not sure what you mean socially? Your going to have to explain this,

  • @MattMystrieo Well you clearly have all the answers. Now, jog on buddy.

  • @hillman39 What the fuck are you talking about? What the hell does that even mean? Look you just said something fucking stupid I called you out, you won't admit how fucking stupid you sound. Jog on lad.

  • @MattMystrieo You're clearly one of those sad lonely people.I won't spell it out for you because because I don't want to argue politics with some sad act on a Youtube forum. Bigger fish to fry buddy.

  • @hillman39 Sure, I'm that, coming from a man who insulted a nation of people in the comment section of a video of a song.. Sure thing mate, what are those "bigger fish to fry" going to another Irish song and insulting another group of people? I don't really mind if you don't reply, just pointing out that you said something fucking retarded mate, no matter where you stand politically.

  • @MattMystrieo The initial comment was made made in jest, in keeping with the spirit of the song.The song is not Irish, but an American making fun of the Irish; I have the maturity to take it as a joke, ie I have a sense of humour. I of course have bigger fish to fry than arguing with some sad, lonely knobhead like yourself. Now kindly fuck off and get on with your pathetic little life.

  • @hillman39 Then why didn't you just fucking say that... This entire thing could have been avioded, and yes I have a sense of humour too, only usually for things that are funny unlike your original comment.. Lonley knobhead what? See why are you so aggresive it is completly unecessary, and no.. I am not 'lonely' I can't believe I', being called a 'lonely knobhead' by what I assume is a grown man.. My life is also not pathetic.. If you do have bigger fish to fry, don't bother to respond, fuck off.

  • @hillman39

    I find it amusing how many people get their panties in a twist about what is obviously a sense of humor. Some people need to get their heads out of their asses and learn to laugh at a joke.

  • @PsyckoSama I concur.

  • Comment removed

  • @lothlorien1is1heaven I have no idea what your talking about. This doesn't make sense to me.

  • @hillman39 Im from Britain well Newcastle thats in Britain. Anyway, im sorry that the Old British people screwed up your country. I dont or any of my family or friends make fun out of the Irish. I know what it is like to be taking the mick out of. Im from Newcastle and everyone makes fun cos our Geordie accents and the way we are. I think you irish are great. Good music too.

  • @XIyuppioIX Hey brother. Every thing I say here is made in jest. I have English and Scots in-laws and they're great people. I've been to Britain loads of times. In fact I've been studying with a Geordie lately and she's great fun. A Geordie did my tattoos for me here in West Cork, a very cosmopolitan place. It's good to have fun with you English lads though, playing on the Irish guilt thing. Sure it's only a bit of a laugh. The war's over buddy, we're all friends now. H'way the lads.

  • @hillman39 God i love the Irish. I think I'm going to live there for a year or 6. The U.S is so full of shit and there isn't any nice things to look at. The Irish has so much history and Ireland is so beautiful. I don't really know what it would be like to live there though, what is it really like in Ireland?

  • @MrAshrak117 Well I'm biased as you'd imagine. But even though we are at one of the lowest points in our history, it's still an awesome place to be. Even in these bad times, you would find it hard to find a quality of life to match it anywhere in the world. Especially here in West Cork, where there is more history within 2 square miles of my house than you would find in many entire US states. 27million Americans claim Irish heritage. We only sent 2million! Go figure.

  • @hillman39 HaHa! Well I'm not going to say I'm Irish just cuz lol. I'm just a 6 9 325 LB red head guy that would like to live somewhere that isn't allway fighting someone and I can just live in peace. Like a giant Hobbit.

  • @MrAshrak117 Sorry buddy. I posted instead of replying. That last one was for you.

  • Great song to listen to after polishing of a six pack of Guiness.

  • @TheJavaMonkey Presumably you're listening to it on the toilet after a six pack of Guiness.

  • @hillman39 Correction: Standing in front of a urinal. For about half an hour. Funny thing--I was actually polishing off my sixth Guiness Extra Stout when I typed this comment.

  • @TheJavaMonkey The sitting down part will come. Aren't we all laddy da with a urinal though? What's wrong with slashing over the neighbour's fence or against the nearest wall like we do in the old country?

  • @hillman39 To be fair, a lot of it probably was against a wall, but it was a bathroom wall, so I suppose that doesn't count?

  • @TheJavaMonkey Great stuff. If you know someone who owns/ used to own or once drew a picture of an Irish Wolfhound, you can qualify for an Irish passport. You clearly tick all the boxes. Artists don't pay taxes in this country either.

  • @hillman39 You, my friend, are brilliant. Cheers.

  • wth!

    

  • forceSC2strategy liked this :DDDD

  • at 00:31 they have no heads!!! O__o O M G! and they can drink without heads XD

  • @LOLgirl1020 they shove the beer down their throats

  • damn

  • what is the general opinion of the english in ireland? (not english btw!) :D

  • and we pet bunnies

  • We have no heads! OMG WE HAVE NO HEADS!

  • I saw this live, it was fantastic!

  • WHY!? This song is so true! (crying) Damn you Britain! Fuckin' wankers... Why... Damn you Elizabeth. (I refuse to call her queen)

  • @crazedscotsman553 Thankyou for generalising an entire nation. You've met every single of the 60 million British people, have you?

  • @Indeed999 It was a joke. I like the fact that you thought i was serious.

  • @crazedscotsman553 I apologise for that. But unfortunately, I have come across too many people who are serious, so it's difficult to tell...

  • I don't think Leary spent a single night under an Irish sky. But fuck me, he's seems to have got it. In fact, we should sing this song to the IMF and it will explain everything.

  • This song is funny...I was crying cuz I was laughing so hard

  • I don't know laugh or cry!

  • @FlashMotorGuy007 Thank you for your insight, I was SO blind you are such an enlightenment. A true class act. Everyone a round of applause for this guy he figured it out.

  • I guess it's not VERY 'tradtional': 'we drink and we drive'!

  • 14 people a fee dee din de, hin fle di din fle di din fle die, in hey bibble in hey bibble hey.

  • God damn, you all are idiots and Denis Leary was a Bill Hicks rip-off.

  • @FlashMotorGuy007 He's not taking the piss outta no one, he's Irish, if you listened to Irish rebel / folk tunes, he's just making light outta of some of the content in them- so to speak, for a laugh. Gotta know the Irish sense of humor,lol

  • @FlashMotorGuy007 An American comedian who is an Irish American, who has Irish and American citizenship. 

  • Wow...this was pretty epic

  • Crafty bastards take your eyes and your hands. You can't even read braille now. Dx

  • @saraerinmichelle read with ur nubs

  • always listen to this when i am drunk, its a ritual

  • I'm irish on my mother's side, and I approve of this song.

  • @MarnaxCBRM When your Irish, you don't pick sides; you fight with everyone. That way, there'll surely be some fucker who'll buy you a drink when the fighting's done.

  • Fredoom to Irish People NOW

  • @th88fly But didn't they already gain independence from Britain in 1916?

  • @th88fly But didn't they already gain independence from Britain in 1916? Or are you referring to Ulster?

  • @th88flyFreedom? What's the point? We'll piss it away anyway. And we'd have nothing to complain about if we got it.

  • the 90's...wow

  • I remember my grandfather calling me into his death-bed when I was a wee lad. I was too young to understand everything he had suffered, fighting against Cromwell during World War II. But he held me close and began singing this song, in the original Irish, and I listened... And I then understood he wanted me to fight on; for O'Grady & O'Hanrahan.

    What would he say now that the Queen of England has visited Ireland? If he was alive to see this, he'd turn over in his grave.

    Eireann go bragh!

  • @JVbin If he was alive he would turn over in his grave????LMFAO!!!!!

    Cromwell during WWII??? I almost pissed myself when I read that!!!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!!!

  • @Wonkawillie77 If you were "rolling on the floor, laughing your ass off" how were you able to type that comment at the same time? I don't mean to be confrontational but that sounds a bit far-fetched to me dude. :-/

  • @JVbin Well... aside from the carpet burns, one does have to come up for air once in a while doesn't one? You know what I mean - like when you are giving an underwater blow job to your boyfriend in your hot tub don't you have to take a breath once in a while? I would think so but I could be wrong. ;-)

  • @Wonkawillie77 I wouldn't know, as my father discouraged homosexuality from a very young age. Even when he saw my grandfather hold me close on his death-bed, he thought even that was a little gay. Once when I offered to help my mom put away the dishes, he construed this altruistic act of courtesy as manifesting a desire on my part to have sex with other men. As such he locked me in a closet and after 2 days he somewhat ironically told me to come out. I too had bad carpet burns.

    Regards, JV

  • @JVbin Again I must come up for air after ROTFLMAO and respond to your latest missive. Your father is either a wise and wonderful man or a complete homo-phobe. Either way there must have been some interesting chats around the campfire - so to speak. My mother, so I am told, was also a wise woman beyond her years but I never got to really know her because she left my father before I was born. Such were the ways out on the old prairie. Wagons ho!

  • As an Irish person, I hate lazy stereotyping! ...This however, is genius stereotyping and I love it. =)

  • love it! a sense of dark humor

  • i lost my hands, legs and head watching this, but it was worth it.

  • @bowmaster36 Luckly you still have your arms :D!

  • @darkkill662 weeeeeeel............. not anymore, they needed amputation :/

  • @darkkill662 Irish optimism, oh love!

  • @bowmaster36 how did you manage to type?

  • @kurei2001 my tounge.................

  • It's not a funny song. It's a very old drinking song and based on what the British really did to us.

  • Just wondering. What's the general opinion of the British in Ireland?

  • @Vixctor13 it depends who you ask and whether by "british" you mean "english" or not.

  • @Rabsputin I mean the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

  • Is it weird this song gives me this urge to river dance? lol

  • 11 peoples dont like to drink . So i am asking them -- how do you have funn playing playstation and PC games ?

  • @KSATRIJA Because sat inside drinking and playing games is sad and completely not fun. Go out to the pub, so much better

  • @KSATRIJA it's actually very easy, you just listen to this while playing, and then you grab a bottle of beer, huzzah! fun with a pc... i guess on playstation you just gotta hope no one got your credit info

  • This was really bad. I thought this was supposed to be funny.

  • @vaughnjb It is funny. Your sense of humor is bad.

  • @vaughnjb its a parody

  • @ShamrocksGetYouHigh I disagree. Parodies are supposed to be funny.

  • For a long time I thought this WAS a REAL traditional irish folk song and I was wondering what its name was XD

  • Irish comedy at it's bloody-wicked finest! xD LMAO!!

  • I like how this is supposed to be a parody, but it's actually a really wonderful piece of music! Lovely melodies.

  • Now i really want to visit Ireland some day

  • The lyrics to this song are actually very old and date back to the time when the English really did chop off Irish heads and leave them as a deterrent to further Irish stubbornness. It sounds funny now (especially with Leary's added funny lyrics), but it wasn't back then.

  • @TheNicneven yep, in fact you can still see Oliver Plunkett's head on display

  • The lyrics to this song are actually very old and date back to the time when the English really did chop off Irish heads and leave them as a deterrent to further Irish stubbornness.

  • Happy St. Patty's, everyone!

  • @MiHiVidz Why do people keep writing Patty's day? Patty was Doug's girlfriend, it's Paddy's day, because Paddy is short for Patrick.

  • @explosivoification You've just answered your own question.

  • @MiHiVidz Because Patty is dougs girlfriend in a cartoon?

  • is it just me or does the music sound similar to "He is a pirate" soundtrack from "Pirates of the carribean"....?

  • Something is the matter with 8 people for disliking this. Either they're English, or they don't know what beer is. Or both. But they're just plain *wrong* -- this is awesome!!

  • WE DRINK AND WE DIE AND CONTINUE TO DRINK.

  • @KSATRIJA yep !

  • i jizzed

  • If you don't understand this song you're not irish, and by irish I mean drunk enough.

  • @xXergosumXx I'm half Irish and sober I understand this song but true enough I feel it more drunk. lol

  • fuck cromwell

    

  • DUDES ARE LARPING IN THE PICS!!!

  • I lol'd.

  • the chords on guitar is: E minor, G, and D

  • I love being part - Irish
