I Love this song!!! I Love the divine comedy!!! I Love Neil Hannon!!! but honestly, if that belch came from Neil, I shall say that he belches like a maiden...and that is another reason to love him! He's cute!!!

Gotta love a song which is one of the few ever recorded outside Finland which mentions my home country :) (well, propably only because it rhymes with England).

I love this song. Its fantastic. I find it funny how Neil starts off talking about how there drinking for there fallen friends who have drowned and ends up talking about his lovers being pink and elephentine

Oh and if anyone has a copy of the live version, I'd be eternally grateful, or perhaps buy the person who gives me it, a few drinks lol...

@alistairburns

Thanks for the tip - it was the right song but not quite the exact atmosphere I was looking for. Bizarrely enough the recording I was after it sounded much more 'rowdy' with a bunch of drunk Irish (at least it sounded to me), yelling things in the background. That's why I loved to drink along to the song as it I figured most of the crowd were off their rockers too lol.

Love that song, have the original on cd from many years ago. Though I personally prefer the live version, it just had that sort of rowdy atmosphere that seemed to suit the song perfectly.

A very fun drinking song. Love Neil. "All my lovers will be pink and elephantine
