  • I didn't know Julian Assange plays Irish music.

  • fuck all his eurovision songs, this one the best

  • Not so nice at first, much better if you give it a second chance. Guess some songs (and voices) are like wine, an aquired taste.

  • Now I know why the Irish drink so much

  • No,no,no,noooo

  • he skiped the first chapter, did he?

  • meh

    

  • I luv him

    

  • Johnny Logan is fantastic!

  • What the hell is this? bad stuff guys!!!!!!!

  • ooops, no more whiskey in my jar ;)

  • My heart pours out for those irish women...

  • Damn, he butchered this song all to shit.

  • @Garmichael1 how do you figure? this is probably somewhat close to the way this song was originally played like 200 years ago, metallica didnt write this it doesnt belong to you lame-o angsty 90s kids-ah

  • @Garmichael1 you grew up on the metallica version didnt you? this is probably somewhat close to the way this song was originally played, it doesnt belong to you lame-o angsty 90s kids-ah

  • @Helms113 No, I don't like Metallica at all. I more closely grew up on the Pogues, who did a way better version of it a while ago. This song is butchered to shit because it's missing like three verses, and the verses he did sing, he made up his own words for.

  • That's cool! ^^

  • What a load of shite!

  • Thanks for yesterday...what a party :o).

  • thats pretty much the worst version i've ever heard ...

  • @EvilEelofSteel how do you figure? this is probably somewhat close to the way this song was originally played, you grow up on the metallica version or somethin?

  • @EvilEelofSteel you grew up on the metallica version didnt you? this is probably somewhat close to the way this song was originally played, it doesnt belong to you lame-o angsty 90s kids-ah

  • @Helms113 you're wrong ... first version i knew was from the dubs (cause of my parents) ... i'm not a great fan of the lizzy/metallica-version ... not bad, but dubs did it better ...

    i don't like this, because the singer turned it with his style into a pop-version ... in my opinion ...

  • wow so great song I love

  • hi ... surely it is clear to everybody that this song is sung by the man who is in his prison cell awaiting his execution. not a fun tune, not about whiskey or drinking. in all european countries alike, throughout history, the man on death row was granted one stiff drink+good food on the night before his death at sunrise. so to him it is worth mentioning that there is whiskey in his tin-jar. - okay, but please, somebody from ireland explain to me the 'mush-a-ding ... daddy-oh' , whack what?

  • @phouphoublue yeah i'm from Ireland(is éirenach mé) eh welll the majority of irish ballad or folk songs have that kinda chores thats easy etc....mush a ding stuff is called lilting its an old irish form of singing it was orginally used to lilt set dances without intruments entire tunes can be lilted

  • im gay and i take it in the ass

  • Love his music. :3 Grown up with it.

    This song, reminds me of when my parents was to one of his concerts..

    He was in Denmark, and someone had told him that the most sexiest thing, you could say to a woman in Denmark was "Kartoffelmos.." Which means Mashed potatoes. xD I laughed so hard when they got home to tell me that. Johnny, sure is a funny guy! :3 Lots of love on him.

  • Aren't these the guys that smuggled choof to America in thier speakers for Howard Marks. Nice, Mr. Nice.

  • What are they on? Speeding along... lol!

  • What are they on? Speeding along... lol!

  • Johnny Logan is an Aussie!

  • I've heard them all and this is quite possible the worst. I didn't think there would be a version I didn't like until hearing this.

  • I am glad the likes far outweighs the dislikes, what a great Irish singer...Adeline

  • Comment removed

  • What an arsehole, he should stick to eurovision. Shouldnt be allowed to go near an Irish song and whoever thinks Johnny Logan is one of the best Irish singers, well you must be Danish?

  • Superb

  • After all, women are the Devil incarnate.

  • love this song :):):):):):):):)

  • excellent

  • nice voice

  • can i have that Guinness please?

  • He,s the best...

  • Johnny Logan? Sounds like Johnny Cash in an Irish kinda way. Pretty good but hit up the Johnny Cash thing and get an angry grind! Watch his Fullsome vid. You can go far!

  • another kick ass verson . awsome job these guys did

  • Wonderful!

  • This version SUCKS. There's no feeling, no heart, and no heritage.

  • way better then metallica , thin lizz , jeryy garcia and the dubliners , and all others wo singed this song but sumtime he sing kinda fast :S but at whack for the daddy oh its ok :)

  • @SeraForRevenge

    O.o

  • @SeraForRevenge

    Better then Metallica's and Thin Lizzy? lmao You must be drunk while typing.

  • @SeraForRevenge you must kidding me... this sucks comparing to Thin Lizzy and Metallica

  • So nice

  • Johnny Logan is absolutely great...He also participated in "Excalibur- The Celtic Rockopera", which was a fantastic and unforgettable event.;)

  • I absolutely LOVED IT!!! :D :D :D

  • I actually feel like I've just been raped...

  • AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL

  • this guy is such a wanker..... put your dick away johnny. you've raped ireland enough...

  • Ok, granted it isn't the best one there is but lighten up guys. It's a good cover version. It's just as good as metallica or thin Lizzy.

  • This is a commicial video, shot in "The Irish House" - The former "Ellen Marsvin" in Aalborg, Denmark.

  • WTF HE MISSED OUT 2 VERSES, he rewined the song

  • @Kiphillphil "rewined" ????WTF is that???

  • This make me happy. :>

  • This is just wrong.... This guy must think the sun is shining from out his ass if he thinks he can pull this off.. This is just squeezing the lemon too much... RUBISH

    BIGTIME!!!!

  • the irish house

  • wooooooooorst version ever ... omg

    never thought you could do this song so bad

  • not the best one indeed but not the worst;inacheved ,that's sure....

  • Gary Moore& Eric Bell sing it too!!! nice version

  • what the duce is this?

  • Cheese on toast

  • Love this version !!!!!!

  • It's a great version. I was to a koncert with Johnny Logan 3 days ago and they sang it there. It's great...

  • wow... this must be the worst version of this song ever..

  • more cheese than the cheese counter at ADSA, even the cliched pints of guiness on the table look like props.  This tune has been well and truly massacred.

  • Jesus, you should never fuck around with the loyrics of folk songs. Sure, you can rearrange them, but there is a reason they are timeless. But I suppose that's why Sweden is not exactly renowned for it's folk music.

  • yeaaaaaaaaaaah !!

  • Johnny, you are doing a great job! Yours Sonja

  • Love!!

  • Good Song,, Good Singing,,xx

  • THIS IS GOOD!:) 1thing only it was 2 different clips... But who the hell cares this is nice shit:P

  • Wat een leuk en vrolijk nummer

  • a bit tacky...with the guinness n all. I'll stick to the Dubliners thanks very much

  • I love this song! Used it on my presentation about Ireland in my English class last year

  • awesome version.

  • what a load of crap.logan should stick to the euro crap he's know for and not fuck with classics! what a donkey!!!!

  • Will we have Bohs signing this hahahaha

  • NOT A WAY TO SING THIS SONG.

  • are you people fucking retared? This is great, me and my dad is listening to him evry time when we builds on our car!

    It realy gets us ready to work:P

  • This is really great, keep it up johnny.

  • Let's all smile about robbery, heartache, and alcoholism!

  • go shit yourself

  • @Lucriox Don't forget murder ;) good 'ol Ferrel never had a chance.

  • @Lucriox well that's reality, and we could either smile about it or be all bummed. I'd rather smile

  • @flythegadsden Honestly?! TWO YEARS go by and you look for old comments to post on thinking that "Hey, this person hasn't been on since the reagan admin. so it's free game!" WTF mate? Please tell me why I have to smile about a song that tells about a man who got turned in by the woman he loved AFTER he mugged an officer of the law (something left out of this cover or it didn't get put on for whatever reason) THEN he was sent to prison to rot. I cannnot find ANYTHING to smile about.

  • how shite do they make this great song stink. Christ, they need to murdered.

  • sound for sticking up for 1 of the best Irish singers that came out of out of our country

  • It sounds like an ad for breakfast cereal.

  • very cool!

  • its bon jovi in the jar

  • Johnny Logan is one of the best irish singers and this is one of the best songs.

    His version is brilliant. He did win two eurovisions for Ireland after all.

  • I think so,too!

  • He won three Eurovisions mate!

    He wrote the winning 1992 irish entry for Lisa Martin

    The guys class!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @omaonlai Phil Lynott is way better... This is pretty faggy

  • @omaonlai You mean three.

  • this is fair shite. i dunno how any1 likes johnny,no1 likes him in ireland but he seems to be big in other countries.

  • thats bull - johnny boy is way cool - stick your head out of your ass

  • this aint to bad, more jumpy than the originals

  • Hi irish music..hi Johnny Logan..bless u

  • I like how it said this was the number one scandinavia but this version wasn't bad but I kinda dig the Thin Lizzy's version a bit more.

  • They change the original song i dont like this !!!

  • Top class

  • I personally prefer logans version above all the rest.

  • Hahaha this christmas me and my sister were dancing to this song..On MS Gabriella to Åbo.

    By the way you are great.

  • Pretty awful version.

  • agreed

    cheesey as fuck

  • I don't know , which version is best.I like Thin Lizzy, the Dubliners and Metallica.

    Great Trad. song in different versions.

    Logans versions is too calm (for me) but it's also nice to listen.

    Greetings from Germany

  • sweet

  • den är bäst

  • I wish more people my age (18-20) would listen to this kind of music... I'm sick and tired of hip-hop, R&B and techno/trance...

    Saturday-night, a pint, lots of good company and Johnny Logan's Whiskey in the Jar or Tim Finnegan's Wake... Doesn't sound too bad to me =D

  • It's whiskey in the jar ;D

  • One of the best songs, ruined by Metallica. Fie upon them, greetings from the trigger-happy USA!

  • Metallica's version isnt that bad. Its refreshing lol.

  • I find it far too noisy. Also, when you hear the original version (search "Sullivan's Gypsies Whiskey in the Jar"), it really makes it clear how much their style messes stuff up

  • Their style didnt mess the song up, it was just different. The guitar intro sounds quite different but at the same time keeps the same melody and rhythm as the original. Everyone has different taste in music.

  • Yeah.. I know that's Metallica is the best band ever... Old news...

    Well, greetings from Sweden anyway... :)

  • This Cover is way better than Metallica

  • youu prick..

  • I like it :) shit :) It's awesome :)

  • Partysong<3 :)

  • Wonderful :D

  • thats right, loverboy ;D

  • Thanks Mr. Sexbomb

  • This is real music! greetings from Denmark!

  • This is very beautiful song! I love for it from Hungary!

  • thats definately not the albion!! ha ha mick its your round next.

  • den feteste duden noensinne!

  • I where on they're konsert in lindoy in stavanger, norway:D He rocks! fucking irish, theres somethinh special with they're music! it's just so cool!

  • I like Irish Chieftens myself.

  • I agree. I'm of Irish heritage, but not a big fan of celtic music. They are a very good band.

  • metallica and thin lizzy sucks if you´re not listening to the irish version you should´nt listen to it at all!

  • thin lizzy is irish dumb ass

  • TALENTED SONG < BEST AS THIN LIZZY

  • Anyone been to any of his concerts? What songs did he play?

  • i love Johnny.

  • he sang this song at croatian national show for esc 2008

  • Irish song! Oh i like it! an' I'aint from ireand... keep on rockin fellas!

  • poor stupid donkey ! it's an old irish song and the crap metallica remade it !!

  • agreed to 100%!

  • Nooo nooo... An old Irish drinking song! And Thin Lizzy was even the one who made the song into the version in witch you're used to hear it. Metallica just did another cover on that one, just as sooo many others before them. :)

    GREAT SONG, though. :) I bought this cd by the way. Great cd. Even though some of the songs are quite "wrong", compared to the original versions...

  • It isn't metallicas song. It is the Dubliners

  • Older then the Dubliners even!

  • Yeah but Thin Lizy made it famous worldwide.

    And imo is the best version up to date

  • It made it commercially famous maybe but many others made it famous before them.

  • Johnny and the guys rocks! keep on drinking people! ;)

  • Og noget andet er: hvorfor drikker I ikke de Guinness? :D

  • They do drink Guinness. You better watch it again and look one more time. ;o)

  • I can see that there are Guinness, but I just wonder why they doesn'y drink it... it just stand there

    never mind, it was just a joke
