[Tk1rox77]

great song =D

[mrallen816]

the reason god created whiskey is to keep the irish from taking over the world

[recordmancharlie]

see what happens when you drink that "GREEN" irish beer ??? puts you down on your knees talking to your cat !!!

[bigguy4570]

The reason that whiskey was made was to keep the Irish form taking over the world.

[23stude]

@bigguy4570 Yes true my uncles tried taking over the world but were to drunk to do it

[MrMeighEO]

@bigguy4570 Didnt stop us though!!! lol

[ginb73]

and we laughed

[RegLeachFan]

fucking irish stink weasels

[joeytwosubs]

@RegLeachFan As an authorized, duly elected member of the stink weasel anti-defamation league I wish to lodge a formal grievance. That comparison to the Irish was totaly uncalled for. The "Rifle" belongs in the Hockey Hall Of Fame. Stanley Cup Champ 74-75 In 75-76 regular season he scored 61 goals and 19 in the playoffs. That was 19 goals in 16 friggin games. I think that record still stands. They have to be complete douche-bags not to put him in the Hall GO YOU BRUINS (FLYERS ARE O.K. TOO)

[someonezmom]

this song used to create drinking contests..lol..great drinking song

[LadyScorpio39]

i LOVE the irish rovers, especially will millar, that cute guy who always wore the hat, and sung the unicorn song!

[ZoneFighter1]

That's different than the version I have on an old cassette tape, its Strange the tape leaves off "Irish" just has the singers as "The Rovers" but its the same voice. Not like any other Irish Rovers song I've heard.

[TheFarmerfitz]

@ZoneFighter1 They called themselves (The Rovers) for a while...

[LadyScorpio39]

i used to love the irish rovers when i was a kid. this song is great! and also the unicorn song!

[vbhdlkfhb]

i like it

[monkeefan1965]

Oh yeah....the 80's !!

[SupernaturalPirate1]

on my 25th b-day my mom told me i was concieved to this song

[Glaxist]

@SupernaturalPirate1 eww...  my parents never had sex... don't burst my bubble!!!

[TimBosgotslice]

@SupernaturalPirate1 dude how can you listen to this now then? AH my momma told me that i would be grossed out

[Morningglory0011]

[TheCheezhead15]

[bigguy4570]

[captainstab2003]

[JeffTibb]

Two guys were so drunk they thought the down thumb meant 'like'.

[Capricornchild1313]

8/9 RAR Rams Retreat, 1986 ANZAC DAY

[taffy5507]

Gee, going through all my 45's the other day, all 461 of them, I found this song among them.

[16924fps]

According to the Irish Rovers' website, their post-show parties were the stuff of legend and Tom Paxton witnessed one and this song was the result. I've done my share of partying in my younger days but nowhere near what these guys were apparently capable of. Fun stuff.

[JHandcock1111]

Happy Canada Day, Everybody - Make sure you don't party as hard as this song describes - you don't want to wake up in the pokey - there's still 48 more hours to celebrate!!!!

[RockerDaddyTazz]

Vancouver's 2011 Cup Run!!

Riot or no Riot, it was a Party eh?

would have loved to have been in Boston today, but coming from BC they might NOT want my kind of Party, and refuse me entry at customs??

I am SO GLAD Vancouver LOST, cause who takes Fire Bombs HOME, and would have looked worse if they had Won, "If Possible"?

It was good to see a Home Town Boy Raise the CUP!!

Remember Boston had the ONLY ONE!!

TTFN

Did WMG try and block your upload?

[chingquongkading]

obviously the one dislike has never been to a party

[Psychonaut316]

My uncle has the Irish Rover's golden record from this album mounted on his wall, given to him by the boyos to celebrate the birth of his daughter, my cousin, the year before. Love that little bit o' history.

Love this song! Reminds me of long and hot summer days, and many a longer winter night, spent drinking with my buddies. Miss those days...

[Mr78chevytruck]

who the hell would dislike this song

[SuperNovascotiagirl]

I love this song, they always play it on the radio on Saturday nights

[rdvqc]

It's not Irish - written by Tom Paxton who is very American

[HugeDeal]

I wanna hang the one dislike guy... Agreed?

[123456789mischief]

@HugeDeal works for me.

[SpaceCowboy641]

@HugeDeal Of course! It must have been Osama the goatfucker as long as he was alive ... Now he have a mighty sip of water - according to his religious beliefs! Bottoms up and chuck-a-lug !!!

[Laveticus]

[Hacky2447]

@HugeDeal Agreed!!!

[Michelle1972ify]

Been to many many parties like this one. Now these are the best ones!!

[JerkstoreonUndernet]

This was the OHL's Belleville Bulls song!!! I remember hearing the first 1 min of this song hundreds of times when the boys were warmin up before periods and when they would score goals!!! Reminds me of my childhood. :D Fun song!

[Player398hunter]

good partying song



[Player398hunter]

[pitt15220]

I can remember my parents listening to this way back when....and they wonder why I drink as much as I do! LOL

[entity30068]

The Irish national anthem, lol.

[katyejanae]

I have the old 45 LP. love this song!

[Lynda456]

Fifty-eight people so far were at the party...

[scdarknight]

Best damn drinking song ever.

[ambushguitar]

Man this song brings back memories. I'm definitely learning this one for the next drunk with the boys. A classic.

[tampamary]

This is how I feel this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SuperGogetem]

[poopstain565]

[shmuli9]

This is one of the few songs by the Rovers that I can stand... Their other songs give the impression of desperately trying to sound "Irish"...

[2003beau]

I am looking for a download of the song here's to the horses by the Irish rovers. Was on a CBC special 1982.

[minimumheadroom]

I loved this song. I was around 11 or 12 the first time I heard it. They played it in regular rotation on our local AM station here in Palm Springs KDES 920.

I remember I had a mad crush on Amy Hyatt and I never even saw her I guess I had a crush on her voice! REO speed wagon was enjoying hits along with Air Supply and then there was this song! HA HA I loved it probably made it because of Urban Cowboy's popularity.

[83jbolt]

I've been to parties like this!!!

[circusitch]

This song and Sweet Blindness are the best drinking songs! Iget drunk just thinking about them!

[Starpass]

This and the Rodeo Song are both a friggin laugh and a half. I love it!!

[Drakedragon1315]

"I saw someone under my kitchen table takin to my ol tom cat, and the cat was talkin back." Favorite part.

[twifan1]

I'm 12 years old and I LOVE! this song

[brucie65]

[ajaugenti]

Awesome Irish drinking song from the year of 1982!!!! I remembered listening to this song from the time I was only 6 years old in 1982!

Man, I used to watch this show way back in the early 80's. Damn it! I had only wished that I had that CD! Oh well, thanks for posting it!!!!
