04 I'm a Man You Don't Meet Every Day by The Pogues

[TheDarklordshop]

Everyone loves The Pogues, the Punks and Metal heads and everything in between, all walks of life and all kinds of people.

I heard this New Year's Eve 1984 when The Pogues played the ICA. Good times.

@daCritic1000 they are , extremely well known...

[bangtokhammer]

@daCritic1000 I always thought they were ingrained personally. Don't think I could name one person who hasn't heard of them; and I know quite an assorted bunch.

It's really brilliant and touching ! I need to get myself acquainted with the remainder of their albums for granted. Greetings from sometime (slightly) Celtic Poland.

1:23-1:46 One of the most beautiful moments in any song.

@Movielover87

You have no idea how long I have searched for this song because I had it in my head for so many years. I heard it when I was a little kid in my fathers car. I hated all his music when I was young. He said: "You are going to like it someday." I didn't believe him.

And years passed by. 12 years later I could cry from this.

1:23-1:46. One of the most beautiful moments in any song.

@daCritic1000 ......I think live performances were probably always a bit risky with McGowan. After as many gin and apples as he liked to drink, I'm surprised he didn't fall off the stage. Still there's nobody else that could replace his voice ...... he's a legend. But I do seem to remember that his alcoholism had a fair bit to do with the bands decline......but maybe that's wrong?

[jesuscat29]

@miriamnz Opinions are never wrong my friend! Cheers

[polmaccaba]

Christy McCaul, right? Died in a boat accident a few yrs back? Or am i thinking of someone else?

[shumirules1]

@polmaccaba Cait O'Rierden, not sure if I spelled it right. Kisty McCool was on Fairytale Of New York on the next CD. Cait left the group when she married Elvis Costello.

Both great singers however.

[polmaccaba]

@shumirules1 Fair enough, thanks for clarifying, great song! Christy was great though, she will be missed by many many people.

[MACSWEELPIPE]

@shumirules1 she married that muppet?

[DwayneRydell]

whose singing here?

[77droog77]

@DwayneRydell  Cait O'Riordan

[DwayneRydell]

@77droog77 wow, I had no Idea until I heard this song that one of the pogues was a girl...there's nothing wrong with it, I just had no clue...

[77droog77]

@DwayneRydell she left and married Elvis Costello, who co-produced the album

[givacluck]

What a splendid tune.
