[LoveMe06HateMe]

[patsybob]

They argue over wether it's an Irish song or British, there different versions with altered lyrics. Either way it's an awesome song for Dublin to have regardless of true origin or not!

[solidus927]

I remember this song from my music class in 2nd grade back in the day in Sunny Sands Elementry School

[spiritwalker30]

I remember this song in school well we did a lot of songs but this one always stuck with me because even has a Child I remember how sad this song was and I offten wonder if it was about a real women.

[knightofjustic]

i walk by that statue all the time in town never realized it was the woman from this song

[knightofjustic]

i walk by that statue all the time in town never realized it was the woman from this song

[MsBrunomarsxx]

dublins song haha as i am from dublin:D

[achahei]

I believe Elvis would have done justice to this song with his mellifluous voice. What a pity he passed this one by.

[emr1940]

Thebooks...please type: musica,com

And you'll find the lyrics of this and many other songs.

[unionofonion]

@dublinrareoldtimes You don't even fucking know where he got that from, do you?

Try looking up a scene from the movie clockwork orange called, "Drunk beggar sings molly malone"

[SweetHomeCalifornia]

I love that "Clockwork Orange" is in the tags. XD

[MrBlackhawk2010]

@hughpower123 LOL good reference



[Szederp]

@hughpower123 My droogies!

[MoooSilly]

My nanna used to sing this to me when I was little. I knew all the words by the time I was about 6-7. even though I used to want to cry cos It's so sad. x

[superstar951000]

i have to practice this song for guitar class and now that i luk it up i found out i had the beat really rong

[mareckbamf]

I knew a girl named Molly Malloy and she died way too young. I would have love this sound anyway, but her tragic death makes it hit home even more.

[rexorrama]

Some Brits call that sculpture "The Tart With A Cart" LOL.

This song really freaked me (an American) out when I was little because of the strange lyrics and weird melody. Don't remember who I heard sing it. Maybe Robert Goulet.

[leapingthrutime]

clockwork orange anyone ? :p

[Peggy91193]

I have a picture of me standing next to that Molly Malone Statue (because my band plays this song, too).

[ryanabu1]

She is gorgeous

[ipponax]

A fair memory of a journey in Ireland, my second best island in the world :-)

Greetings from Cagliari, Sardinia.

Piero

[MrStuckingfupid]

[hautelick]

@MrStuckingfupid In Dublin's fair city, where the girl's have big titties..

[Mongeeselady]

This was my lullaby, aha.

[yoyogigi171]

Super vacances en Irlande aout 2010 et vive Molly mallone

[liamthedream]

The Statue is located at the Bottom of Grafton Street and College Green, Trinity College is in the Background. One will find lots of Tourists getting their picture taken with Molly. Just around the corner on Suffolk Street is O'Donoghues Pub where one can drop in for a refreshment.

[shryley]

My daddy sang this to me :)

[Dzubur1]

@shryley mine too

[EJLellie]

my mum used to sing this to me when i was litlle, just without the dying part, that's probably not the best way to get your child to sleep :L

[OmgTheCookieMonsters]

[Gunymp3]

I learned this song at my english class.

[segey2005]

[OriginOfStarlight]

@AmafelElf92 Same here! :D I had to look up the song when I came home from Ireland.

[AmafelElf92]

@OriginOfStarlight Such a magnificent place. I miss it. :(

[robertb2183]

A song about a streetwalking hooker taken up by supporters of Dublin English RFC (aka Leinster) as an anthem by the shoneen poofs.

[LadyScumBag10]

Apparently, I was named after this song! After listening to it for the first time, I'm kind of happy about that!

[OMGTheyKilledKenny26]

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all the Irish out there

[marshmallow661]

[JustYourAverageAmy]

I love this song surprisingly! It has grown on me thanks to my dad playing it the whole time; and now I'm singing it for my Junior Cert music practical! :D <3 xO

[chachieb]

My god this is the song the old bum was singing in A Clockwork Orange, just before they gathered around to beat him up.

[Tacwizard]

I lived in germany for many years and I had a friend ( A German) Who sang this song so well it brought tears to your eyes.

Funny how so many people don't know what a cockle is.

I think the song is best done a bit slower with a somber chorus, then you can realize the impact of the true meaning of the Song

[1Jesus12]

Wtf are you talking about?

[HOT5PUR1]

This is a famous statue in Dublin. Perhaps you should write to Dublin City Council expressing your concerns?

[Anghosina]

Oh no..this is not what it's all about! She was a fish monger...not a prostitue! She lived an honest life and they sing about it in faire Dublin City

[britecho]

Shouldn't that be 'feckin top'? :)

[RainbowBrite3178]

No wonder you think it"sucks". You're only 15.

[kittyRocks777]

This song makes me cry!! So sad ):

[dublinrareoldtimes]

sad but beautiful... I love this one :-)

[snelhestkuk]

WUSS

[HOT5PUR1]

Excellent version!

But who was the real Molly Malone?

[dublinrareoldtimes]

[HOT5PUR1]

Thanks I have read wikipedia would have thought there would have been an historical reference to an actual person called Molly Malone - like the references to the Grand Old Duke of York or Ring-a-ring-a-rosie!
