its an old irish folk song, the lyrics arent carved in stone, its more about how long and how fast can you go while remembering the lyrics, it usually ends when everyone gets lost, and then a loud redition of the verse, lol it is fun
Well, I finally decided to look for this. I can't wait to read the comments here. Should be quite interesting. I'm sure there's lots of Newfie comments, good & bad. But it isn't about Newfs anyways. Not a Newfie song, BUT by far.... the absolute version. I hope nobody has any disbelief in the singing of this song. I've seen them do it live (original band). Guess what? If you are a fast talkin' Newf, an Irishman, or a Scott, it's easy. Just don't drink too much. Notasthink, thank you.
And the tick on the louse And the louse on the hair And the hair on the worm And the worm on the feather And the feather on the bird And the bird on the egg, And the egg on the bird, And the bird in the nest, And the nest on the limb, And the limb on the branch, And the branch on the tree, And the tree in the hole, And the hole in the bog, And the bog down in the valley-o. 0.0 MIND BLOW BY SPEED
listen to this....i live with my Grandpa high in the mountains of Colorado, its really in the middle of a forest, he drives a 46 chevy pickup, he has a beard a long white one and when ever we go anywhere he has this cd and we listen to this hahahaha
Can someone please tell me the trick whit this singing? There is 100% trick! Please! Tell me secret!:( I will die trying... :( I want to sing just fast not as him but fast.. please tell me the trick!:( thanks to person who tell me trick..:(
i know a version of this song performed by a woman and a man, but i don´t know their names, any ideas ? I heard it on a bus tour through wicklow. Felt in love with that version but can´t find it anywhere.
notr bad good old newfounlander song cause im a newfounlaner born bread be one till i die heres thte reason why cause im free as the wind and the waves that wash the san
Theres a Egg in the bird, Theres a bird in the egg, The bird has feathers that got worms on it, the worms got hair on it, the hair got louse and the louse got tick.
here is my challenge to everyone that listens to this, try to sing this song three times in a row and if you manage to... you're more than likely lying :P
its a greek very rare traditional song talking about an old man who was about to mary a young girl but the girl left him cause of his age! the chorus getting bigger every time it repeats! excuse me for my english
I haven't heard this since I was little. Good to find that some of the stuff my mom used to sing came with us from Ireland. This makes me want to go there that much more.
Still one of my all time favs for ever! I'm an Eagle Scout and I've worked at summer camps and this is one of my specialties... I can do the last line in one breathe and challenge the scouts to do it with me, they love it!
LOL! I went to a dinner theatre last night and one of the guys sang this! The play was Finnigan's Farewell. I loved it. He didn't do all the verses though. I don't think anyone but these guys can sing that fast!
Who are all those guys in the pic? The only one I recognise is the guy on the far right. I was 19 the first time I saw these guys (original lineup) in 1993-1994 in Halifax. It was always a good time when they did this song. I really lost interest whern they added drums, and the lineup started to change. Got too fancy.
hey im from carbonear myself just like them and my parents saw them when i was 4 and now i can't wait until i meet them in the summer and im only 15 oh my god i can't wait
Quite good, but I hate to admit that I still prefer Authority Zero's version (as recorded on "Andiamo") ..however, these guys have very nice voices. Sounds like they're tenors, and actually singing properly.. 'tis nice.
ok i need a beer and then a nap from listen to these guys! holyshit! now that is what i call some singing. i fcan sing the song BUT nothing like this.
