The Mountain Dew

[bennihana123]

Why is this song not used for Mountain Dew's ad campaigns?

[TheMikeyReilly]

@bennihana123 Because the song refers to moonshine, I'm guessing.

[x123Scandalx]

Fuckin love this song 'That sweet potheen from Ireland's green distilled from wheat and rye.

Throw away your pills, it'll cure all ills of Pagan, Christian, or Jew' True ..Very true!

[TheBirdMamma]

beautilful music I'm having a bit of mountain dew as we speak Jameson is the best ever YEAAAAAAAHHHHHH

[mophus12]

@Flyingonion3 Only since 1603, before that if you tried to tell them that they would have been like Bruce Banner when he's angry.

[Flyingonion3]

@mophus12 Not really... the scots are and will always be british by virtue of being in Great britain (the island)

The scots were british before the english even arrived :P

[TheMikeyReilly]

@Flyingonion3 People like you really annoy me.

Scottish not British. Fucking deal with it.

[AlexOvertheBee]

Man, This is great, I've always loved the American version.

[MuffinJowest]

I have no idea what the hell they're saying.

[sirprankalot1]

@MuffinJowest listen to as many irish songs as you can and it will get more clear to what their singing. at least thats how i learned.

[Honeycomb9000]

My favorite drink. My favorite Band. COMBINED?!

[Ichdasstu]

@Honeycomb9000 If your favorite drink is moonshine, then hell yeah!

[Johnbryeloweisasome]

this is about dew on a mountain not the drink

[NorseWinter]

@Johnbryeloweisasome Mountain Dew is synonym for Irish Moonshine xD Hence the drink

[MARKxLEIGH]

what a tune

[moyerman2000]

and we'll give them a slip and take sip of the rare old mountain dew. lol love that part

[hipsterpagliacci]

[fleezh]

I LOVE IRELAND SO MUCH!

Greetings from a Dane settled in Aussie.

[langerdan1000]

happy days in the Maple leaf bar in cork!! this saturday again... Doutcha boy!!!

[fuckbenstrong]

"by a whif of the smell you can plainly tell there's poitin boys near by"

[langerdan1000]

Let grasses grow and waters flow In a free and easy way But give me enough of the rare old stuff That's made near Galway Bay Come gougers all from Donegal, Sligo and Leitrim too We'll give them the slip and we'll take a sip Of the real old mountain dew. There's a neat little still at the foot of the hill Where the smoke curls up to the sky By a whiff of the smell you can plainly tell That there's poteen boys close by. For it fills the air with a perfume rare

[PaulieRomanov]

Black Irish and proud!

[dianthadoo]

@PaulieRomanov Hell yeah!!

[blackashell13]

[HannahGrahamOfficial]

[Jannet245]

[leavy25]

[xmarkx317x]

Both of me favorite bands.

[pyrolord505]

if you liked this go to myspace and look up the micheal brian band they play irish drinking songs and mountain dew is one of them they arn't famous but i wish they were they sound great

[kitadefan007]

I've heard of poteen before. I'm pretty sure that its spelled p-o-t-e-e-n. I've also heard that it'll knock a horse clean off it's feet

[IAmWanderingAengus]

@kitadefan007 "poteen" is an anglicization. the original name for the drink 'as Gaeilge' is "Poitín"

[meab12]

@IAmWanderingAengus nó mar a thugann muide i gConnemara air, 'an buachaill glas' ha ha

[asbpab1966]

Learned men who use the pen write its praises high.

That sweet potheen from Ireland's green distilled from wheat and rye.

Throw away your pills, it'll cure all ills of Pagan, Christian, or Jew.

Take off your coat and grease your throat with the good ol' Mountain Dew.

[Thebluebridgetroll]

@asbpab1966 HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE'S SAYING THOSE FIRST TWO LINES? ARE YOU GOD? lol

[asbpab1966]

@Thebluebridgetroll I have heard that song on the radio many times over the last 30-odd years.

[DOCKER1117]

not sur how to spell it bu its pogine its made from potato its bad old stuff so if u do come by sum take it easy

Slán

[fauxsham]

Poitin or Potcheen, bad for the eyes friend, found meself at the bottom of a bottle of that a couple of times

[BlaineDeschain]

If you made to the end of the real stuff it'd be your end. Two doubles of the first batch did my head right in first time!

[fauxsham]

ahh I didn't usually drink mine neat you see. But drunk neat, yes, we tried potcheen chasers with pints of guiness once, and that didn't go so well either.

[Thag20]

Im in the middle of the USA (Kansas to be exact) and this is my favorite song ever. Ive always wondered: Is there any possible way for me to get ahold of Poitin here in the states?

[Scaubie]

@DOCKER1117 its Poitin, but only take it easy if its bad poitin, if it wasnt 7.46 in the morning id be having some now to celebrate paddys

[TTTTPPPMMM]

[NowhereMan546]

Are you all eejits? Poitín is Irish moonshine, and it is currently legal, but prior to 1997 it was not.

[sharpe183]

[lrishRebeI]

Love This Altogether :) YEEEEHA UP THE IRISH!!

[Crazyydevil123]

@lrishRebeI erin go bragh

[Trickingzz]

Is this song on an album? :)

[longbeakedalbatross]

Yes, it is on the album "The Dubliners - 25 years celebration"

[shiekko]

Some of you may hate me for this comment, but, while this song is good, The Dubliners are better when singin it alone.

[Kruggy0]

If someone hates you for that, they need some serious help...

We all got our own tastes. I prefer this one though, it sounds a little... Well, happier :)

[shiekko]

I agree. Look up "The Dubliners- Rare Old Mountain Dew (Original Version)" I'll try to set up a link from this one. It's back when Ronnie was still around.

[praskovia13]

class indeed A++++++++++++

[skipdc]

take off yer coat and grease yer throat with a bucket full of mountain dew

[Mike62589]

i was drinking poitin earlier this year in laois... god i got fucked up

[SynsonicsFreak]

correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't mountain dew what they used to call moonshine? just curious, i'm kinda settlin a bet

[anarchyanthony]

in the right parts they still call shine mountain dew

[asbpab1966]

Yes, but usually it's called White Lightning.

[Way2SecC4U]

@asbpab1966 white lightning is an american thing.. we are not americans we are irish no matter where we are

[asbpab1966]

@Way2SecC4U I meant in America. In Ireland, they call it potheen. See the poem "Casey's Billy Goat" by Robert Service.

[Wicklowwolf]

Yeah, but it's IRISH moonshine.

[SirCoughsalot]

I keep singing this , but I dunno the words, so I just whistle the bits I don't know.

[PaulieRomanov]

IRELAND FOREVER!

Ireland>England

But to all the English blokes on here,at least you're better than those dirty Hungarians.

On the seventh day God rested,but before that,he took a dump next to Austria and that became Hungary.

[Squad1993]

ok that is the funniest thing ive ever heard!

[Hobemaster]

that is the most STUPID thing I've ever heard.

[jkjk111]

dude.....thats funny but a racist isnt welcome in many places anymore.

[bullyboy1863]

good song :D

[mansderk]

Am I the only one who thinks this version rapes & kills all that is so amazing about this song?

[hagiakeltoi]

But why?

[mansderk]

dunno really, I luv clancy's and the original dubliner's versions but this is all speeded-up and the niceness is all gone.

[Aleesb]

I like the Clancy's version too, but they are singing about whiskey, not a woman or an evening sunset-what niceness is there?

[Whatsyerpoison1]

they're on about poitin mate

[darrin42]

That they surely are. Why would anyone drink potin ha, never again.

[PaulieRomanov]

EIRE GO BRACH!

[vmbcx83]

ha ha ha thats fuckin hilarious, hobemaster, he has a point, tel ya wat have a wee day trip to Auschwitz n c if ur ov the same opinion.......................­...

[Hobemaster]

I was in Buchenwald and Mauthausen already and it's a shame, what Germany did, and though it's not my fault what happened, i accept the responsibility. But hating Germany and the Germans of today per se is pretty unfair.

[PaulieRomanov]

Germany is the Pope's lap dog and they still hate Russia and the Greek Orthodox Church,as well as the Protestant Churches of Northern Europe and the Americas.

[Hobemaster]

First, only 31% of Germany's Christians are Catholics, mostly in the south, Bavaria etc. (and 86% of them only on paper). Second, guess who invented Protestantism! Ever heared of Martin Luther? I think you want to believe that Germans hate Russians so that you can hate Germans even more. I hope you see reason some day. And though you hate me I don't hate you, I am sorry for you. Hate is baggage.

[PaulieRomanov]

Martin Luther was enlightened.He was an exception.And guess what,he studied the Waldenses,the Hussites,and the Greek Orthodox Church,most of whom were SLAVIC!

[PaulieRomanov]

Russia and Ireland are the best in all of Europe!

[Hobemaster]

What's with Bavaria? We are great, too!

[PaulieRomanov]

Germany is Russia's enemy,but Bavaria is the only good part in that whole goddamned country.

[Hobemaster]

what's your problem with Germany? It's a wonderful country!

[PaulieRomanov]

Right,any country that has tried to take over the world and exterminate the Jews and Slavs THREE FUCKING TIMES can't be bad!

(sarcasm)

[Hobemaster]

3hree times? I'd rather say one time. And do you live in the past? I don't hate jews, slavs etc. and so do 98% of all germans. But it seems that you hate Germans, so you are the racist here.

[PaulieRomanov]

I like Bavarians.

And it was three times,Hitler was the THIRD Reich.

Reich I-Frederick Barbarossa

Reich II-The Hapsburg Kaisers

Reich III-Hitler

[Hobemaster]

But Barbarossa and the Habsburger Emperors didn't want to take over the world and definitely didn't want to exterminate the Jews and Slavs!!!

[PaulieRomanov]

Yes they did,they mandated inquisitions and invaded the Slavic countries!

[PaulieRomanov]

I'll give you that,Bavaria is fairly nice.Saxony,on the other hand........

[bullyboy1863]

fuck religious fighting

just sit down with each religion and have some mountain dew eh?

[fitzythebrave73]

hahaha, i totally agree mate! surely its the answer to all the world's problems...

[PaulieRomanov]

aye

[PaulieRomanov]

Mountain Dew>"Mountain Dew"(that greenish soda shit made by Pepsi)

[PaulieRomanov]

Celts>Saxons

Slavs>Teutons

Russia and Ireland are the best

England and Germany/Hungary suck ass

[PaulieRomanov]

One of the best!

[theirishdrew]

[jibgt6]

[kingofthethrill]

Ya, it is a good drinking tune. But not just that...it's quite possible to enjoy it without being ripped aff yer arse...though I find it helps. Lol

[hartyfarty69]

Good drinking tune !remember this playing a lot at a Pernod nite at the holkam tavern in Gt Yarmouth 87 whilst I pulled a durex over my head and attempted to blow it up then I dont remember anything until I woke up in a ditch the next morning ,Love this tune:-)

[bullyboy1863]

me and friends sung this at the school dance.

[praskovia13]

Ah, reminds me of Grandaddy usually when he was mending a car, he always used to sing this

[PogueMahoneCoG]

This isnt the same as the version on the resmastered If I Should Fall From Grace with God remastered, right? You can hear the tin whistle alot more in this one, I'm sure, if its even in the IISFFGWGRM album

[hooah50207]

i literally just got finished trying to dance the jig while listening to the song. good thing nobody saw me. fooking awesome!!!

[cuptie71]

"and we'll give em the slip as we take a sip of the rare old mountain dew" that hit the spot!
