The Irish Rovers - The Black Velvet Band

[philly452009]

the flipside of the unicorn, I had this on 45 RPM

[theshadow1932]

To me, those "smart" cars have always looked as if they had Downs' Syndrome.

[rtogurl]

cute video.

[sadlobster1]

Has the pitch of the singing been raised, like how people make the chipmunk versions of certain songs?

[rabbitman170]

oh my god! i was 4 when i found these guys. i was sooooooooo happy to find this video. thank you!

[Hestiff]

great song!! I', a Phildalephia Eagles fan and we play song in my bar every time!

@theshadow1932.....Sorry for your loss.....Grammas are grand.....But you can't trust those Yorkie's .

[nocturnadawn]

I grew up listening to my grandmas records of the Irish Rovers! I still have them all somewhere, need to find those!

[zefer14]

we had to sing this at school in the 70s

[SauskeUchiha57]

awsome



[TheMichealmc]

her hair hung over her sholders tied up with a BLACK BEDFORD VAN haha

[queencolondarkwing]

I love this song. I wonder about singing cars but ok. I am wondering if any sopranos have sung this song.

[TheIrishTenor1982]

Pixar Presents:CARS GO IRISH

[theshadow1932]

"Smart Car". EASILY the most misnamed thing on the face of the earth! 'Think I got one for Christmas, when I was SIX! 'Don't know for sure. My grammas' Yorkie took it out and BURIED it, that very day.

[cuteoldguy]

@supsupese............I am sure that your Mommy would not think your profanity made you smart.

[storylistener]

The graphics are well done if mildly disturbing (not sure why). Good Job!

[SouljaTrav]

i was randomly singing this in the middle of a drive hunting last year for no reason XD

[shyviolet1221]

cute

[crazykincardineite]

Three tenors and a soprano?

[willosier1]

@crazykincardineite sounds like it

[whitespot42]

creepy little cars

[musicsavesmysoul514]

Black Velvet Band Is My Favorite Song! I Like WHiskey In The Jar And Three Drunken Maidens As Well.

[Rogermiler]

This video can go straight to hell with the Curse of Cromwell on it, but the song is still amazing.

[TehFnorkShit]

..... I don't get it.... Why the cars...?

[TehFnorkShit]

@mervyn744 Uh, what the fuck?

[mervyn744]

[7levelGI]

[pookahorse]

[NBCEras]

This is one of my favorite songs of the Irish rovers, even if I didn't heard about them until two or three month ago...but since I heard 'em the first time I discovered my love to irish music...thank's for sharing this song *_*

[GoldenOldies60and70s]

Can you do this with Enniskillen Dragoons done by Makem & Clancy? It would be priceless!

[509BEAST509]

[naileddown17]

[SinisterBlackRoses]

ROFLOL!!!! :D Thought you did a good job with this. I must admit I will never look at this song or a smart car the same...

[E123OMEGArobot]

You should do "a little drop of poison" by Tom Waits.

[figero262]

HA im friends w/ the Rovers ( well my grandpa is anyway)

[50077756]

[SarahSauRc]

[gdgest]

Excellent variant of a broadside ballad, sung to the tune of Tars Of The Blanch, and published by Swindells in Manchester, UK, sometime between 1796 and 1853. Thanks for sharing. :-)

[multikool]

I really like this Song.

[haggisbasher900]

"Pure Quality"

Best wishes from Scotland

[TheJukeboxGirl]

[sueroo131]

Checking UTube for all things Irish..

great song to an Irish version of "Cars"

Fun!

[zoggy1950]

I need a little Irish whiskey while I listen to this...Good Irish rock!!!

[pastdweller]

Why not apple juice?

[pastdweller]

Why not apple juice?

[richieq212]

dropkick murphys anyone. i know they didnt create that song but they do a great cover of it

[hanshotfirst1138]

Who ever though that "Black Velvet Band" could rock that much?

[GoldenOldies60and70s]

@richieq212 The Dropkick Murphys can't hold a candle to this original vresion!

[pedro1095]

Another great video with one of my favorite songs

I am sure this was about 1968 or 1969 possibly earlier

I used to listen to it in the NAAFI Iin HMS Drake

Thaks for the memories

[XdigitalXkissX]

i have this vinyl record its the shit!!!!

me n my sister listen to it almost every morning

[hawkman2000]

maybe do Whiskey in the Jar I grew up listening to it

[HummerRock]

Entertaining thanks for posting! Good job.

[gfreed100]

That was fun!

[joyruger]

Well it's George Millar singing lead on this song, not Will.:) Cue still with the singing cars.

[Mazdak1]

if i had a bag of weed this would be the best video ever.

[BRUMMIEFAN4LIFE]

lol

[achmedthedeadterror5]

does the smart car have an over bite?????

[joedeni1]

this is my favorite Lyrical version-I wish the dubliners sung it this way

THIS is the only rover version i can find THANK YOU

[philly452009]

love this song as well as the flip side of the decca 45 rpm "The Unicorn

[majewda]

I love the unicorn song :) my parents (we're irish) sang it to me as a lullaby when I was a child :)

[Mogipbob]

I will make it :)

[aerorider04]

This is cute,very cute. Very clever too.

[cufan71]

:-D!

[Todd82TA]

I'm not really sure how I got here... HELP!

[GoldenOldies60and70s]

Overall, Great job of this. One can't help but have a good chuckle over the video. I belive the Rovers would have had a good laugh at this too!

[GoldenOldies60and70s]

I really can't picture the late Will Miller being reincarnated as a Smart Car, However,the video does deserve credit for a great Irish ballad being sung. (even if it is done in a Disney Cars movie style format!) I can almost picture Jimmy as one of the beefed up fords.

[joyruger]

The late Wil Millar? I'm pretty sure he is still alive. He was playing a date as late as May 1.

[salinagrrrl69]

maybe he was just dead on his feet

[yukonnahanni]

yes Will, is alive doing quite well

[EagleKammback]

The truck on the right seems angry.

Awesome Videos!

[transportaren90]

fun video

[jtls8]

A fab. video*****Thank you posting this!

Thank you Marcus(oldcountrytunes) for

sending.

[oldcountrytunes]

Super!!!!!! *****. Thanks for sharing, IN MY OPINION--there are people in this world that have ABSOLUTELY NO TASTE. They have a RIGHT to go on their merry way with this deficiency but if they would acqure some taste, their life may not be nearly as miserable. LOLL!!!

[Mogipbob]

Thanks for the great comment. I spent quite a few hours on this one. These faster songs are harder to do.

[rabbitman170]

@Mogipbob love the ford on the left that gets pissed off! but i seriously teared when i saw this from the nostalgia. thank you

[rabbitman170]

@Mogipbob lol i mean right

[cyril500]

What other version is there?  Cool 79 Ford.

[uvaman555]

sorry, but this version of the song sucks
