[patrickkane100]

best version of this song i ever heard

[BambridgeBardsDavid]

everyone shut the fuck up, i am a huge fan of the pogues, the dubliners, the tannahill weavers and so on, and i just wanna say, these guys do their own thing, and if they like it you should stop bashing it, i think its rather catchy

[itwontbelongyaya]

@BambridgeBardsDavid You think this is "rather catchy"?

Ya, so is the clap.

[BambridgeBardsDavid]

@itwontbelongyaya if you dont respect artists for doing what they want, you can go fuck yourself

[itwontbelongyaya]

@BambridgeBardsDavid I respect them for doing what they want.

I just object to them inflicting it on others, especially the ludicrous claim that it is the "best" version.

Thanks for the sugggestion, I think I will go fuck myself.

At least I won't catch anything.

[eddiewarlord]

it's moments like this were i believe in the cause of the ira. more english rapeing the irish

[fullygrownshambles]

@eddiewarlord Clearly, this version is a bag of shit. But how exactly is it a case of the English raping the Irish? Ewan MacColl, who wrote the song, was English. The song was written about Salford, which was in England the last time I checked. The Pogues released what is possibly the best known version of the song, but they are also essentially an English band (I'll allow Anglo-Irish if you really want to clutch at straws). So, to summarise, you're talking rubbish.

[nevino123]

lost for words

[simmo303]

Fail!

[JohnCrow6666]

OMG I dred to think what Ewan would make of this :(

[dubbedcrazy]

[countorlock100]

My eyes and ears have been raped. Who is the odd bloke who pops up at the end of the vid ? Is he in the band or just wondered past from a secure unit and just joined in ?

[countorlock100]

Ha Ha, purple drums !!! I really don't have to say anything else do I ? But I will. I'ts like getting married then beating your wife up. Why bother learning a classic tune just to kill it ?

[jakethiefx]

This is absolute shit.

[mikeyghan]

more like ..... crap-band.co.uk then craft. Lads, if yer going to say you do the best version of a song that's a classic then it better be good. Honestly this is the biggest heap of shite I've ever heard.

It's like Status Quo and the Pogues have mated and then during a very difficult birth the offspring was starved off oxegen long enough for well, this to happen.

[vossthorsten]

Diese Version ist ein Witz, da gibt es so einige die sich besser anhören z.B. die von den Pogues !

[manausk80]

c'est quoi cette merde ? On devrait pas publier ce genre de conneries faites uniquement pour tenter de se faire du fric sur le dos des Pogues. Et c'est pas pour dire, mais pour le tempo, Status Quo le faisait déjà y'a 30 ans ...

[SofaGamingTeam]

@manausk80 Pas mal :) au début je croyais que c'était une parodie mais ça à l'aire bien vrai...

[stellrtkd]

I'll pass, but I think we appreciate your enthusiasm.

[freddo27]

Guys. you can play rock, so play rock. This old folk song doesn't work for you. Whiskey in the jar was an exception and Thin Lizzy were an exceptional band.

[lemonsunband]

Sorry but....  BARF

[desirefirst]

[19mavideniz71]

Eating shit from a stranger is much more better instead to listen and watching this shit. BIG SHIT.

[chrisdcarney]

This is true to the original which was a swing song not a folk song and not irish, it was originally sung by the song writer (a salfordian of Scots descent) and an american

[gaconnochie]

it doesn't mean that the song is of their nationality. Plus at that here in the UK by far the best known version is probably the Pogues and they aren't exactly in truth even an Irish band. Some of them were, and yes Irish music is the backbone of their repetoire, but if you visit the facebook/my space pages of the individual members most describe themselves as either English or British. I don't think the Dubliners version was or is that well known in the UK.

[jefffkinmead]

kicking people or artists when theyre down , is serious foul play , under usual , everyday rules ., but fkkn hell , cummon lads .

[theJordanabides]

what a joke

[naschindwa]

This is so ugly - i'm going to listen to Luke Kelly's version now - or The Pogues - or both.

[sethias94310]

excuse me but no substances ...no .....nothing!

[bilistikful]

these homo gypsies need to kill their self while listening to the BETTER version, the orignal version

[gaconnochie]

@bilistikful what would you regard as the original version? Out of interest

[unknown13ful]

its like the pogues meets a rock a billy nightmare

[sonofspartacus]

Thou shall not contaminate a classical irish song with a massive dose of pop-ness

[gaconnochie]

@sonofspartacus There are many good Irish songs but this isn't one. That is it isn't an Irish song!

[sonofspartacus]

@gaconnochie IT might originate from Salford in England (as te lyrics used to be smelled a Spring on the Salford wind » to become « smelled a spring on the smoky wind », it has been integrate well in the irish folklore and its popularity has been spread around by The Dubliners, the Pogues and the likes of them. The lyrics could also stick very well to most industrial cities in England and Ireland, hence another reason why it sticks so well to the irish landscape

[gaconnochie]

@sonofspartacus It was anyone Irish who changed the lyrics to smokey wind. It was the composer himself and he recorded it as smokey wind also. I have heard that local councillors objected to Salford being portrayed that way - so the lyrics were changed to appease them. Many groups (following the Dubliners I suppose) incorrectly sing "gasworks wall" instead of "gasworks croft" in the first line. The gasworks croft was/is a piece of waste ground in Salford. Just because someone makes a song famous

[jessiechick1]

Ok, I do think it's a little pretentious to write best version, with that said, I feel like people are maybe being more mean than necessary, because of that...it doesn't suck, I happen to like the pogues version the best...but I give you guys props for trying something new w/ it & having good taste in music...

[Nathpeggsy]

your mums a dirty old town.....

[TheLinnette90]

faggots

[butchquattro]

worst version .......the pogues are the best....

[paulpofficial]

@butchquattro no! the DUBLINERS are the best!

[wilketube]

[citroncurry]

[spannerlegs]

Amazing cover version. Even better than the Pogues. And the fantastic digital backdrop only adds to its authenticity. THESE GUYS SHOULD BE IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME!

[BarbaShime]

WTF? Is this cover for Eurosong contest ??? GET IT OFF!

[Hockeyvalley]

Can someone pls remove this disgrace video?



[mattyowen2009]

not the best version... no where near the best version, in my eyes it insults the song, to sing a song about salford in this fashion is disgraceful... i bet you don't even know where the dirty old town is

[tribegoddess]

I am an old fuddy-duddy and I think it's great. All you negative jerks are probably just jealous and can't carry a tune. It is time to get off your dust covered and cob-webbed asses and join the 21st century. I know this century has few redeeming qualities so far, but at least it has music. Just remember, Cinnamond, I remember when Dylan went electric and got booed off the stage. People finally came around and open their closed minds and actually listened to the music and went WOW, like me.

[mattyowen2009]

@tribegoddess you cannot compare these idiots to bob dylan

[TheNevergetbored]

This is the worst thing I've ever heard. My family in Ireland would be crying

[TheNevergetbored]

@gaconnochie

OK, it was written by Ewan McColl, but The Dubliners made this popular. And The Dubliners were Irish.

[gaconnochie]

@TheNevergetbored I'd imagine it depends on where you are. The first time I heard this song was on a Rod Stewart album in the eearly 70s. In the UK most people would associate it with the Pogues. They are all cover versions though. There is nothing Irish about the song other than some Irish bands have covered it. That is fact. MacColl was english of Scots parentage and the song is about Salford in northern England.

[TheNevergetbored]

@gaconnochie I've mistaked, because McColl is British. I've always assciated this song with Ireland, because many bands; lije POgues and Dubliners, have covered this. It was my mistake.

[drgonzo212]

This shit is a fucking pathetic.

[manytony0]

version de merde crash band!

[GeneralCambronne]

t'as chié sur notre idole mec disparait vite enterre toi
