The Pogues- If I Should Fall From Grace With God

[johnnyhorton2]

this is a little slow

[pricklyphlox]

If those radioactive Subarus lead to more Pogues fans, I guess it's all good...

[MadTomOfBedlam]

@pricklyphlox if you dont like the pogues why did you come here?

[aprilglaspieable]

Fuck the Brits.

[trajan75]

Hooray for Subaru for introducing me to this great song. I grew up with Irishmen in New York. An Irishmen never falls from grace with God unless he drinks the soup.

[Deadmanrunning7]

A song about dying and going to hell really illustrates the life of a hockey mom? Subaru ruined this song for me.

[Deadmanrunning7]

Thumbs up if this song has absolutely no place in a Subaru commercial.

[deadmanshand89]

@Deadmanrunning7 hahaha i said the same thing when i first saw the commercial. I said "this is the most out of place song ever"

[shanny9574]

MAN... I LOVE THIS SONG! IT'S SO COOL!



[shanny9574]

4 people don't know how to tap their toes!

[PvPvEHunter]

I got this urge to buy a subaru and take my kids to hockey games... cosmic! >.>

[striker8251]

subaru commercial finder here!!

[bloatedblond]

@coventrygardens Hockey is NOTHING like soccer! I would be insulted but you are obviously ignorant.

[vince6363]

@bloatedblond well said!

[Mrcleanravemachine]

Gawd I missed this song

[thekeeid]

Best drinking song ever.

[Benwah1224]

After thinking the Subaru commercial music was the Dropkick Murphy's and discovering it wasn't I have now found yet another irish punk band I enjoy. Sometimes watching commercials pays off... Can't believe how long these guys have been around and I'm discovering them in 2012....

[Ubertubermeister]

@Benwah1224 it's ok mate - say 2 Hail Marys, 1 Our Father, and down 12 pints of Guinness and all will be forgiven - salvation before the grave is all that matters-

[TheNamelessChicken]

Thumbs up if you got here from the subaru commercial.

[wheremyfrogo]

@TheNamelessChicken I am trying to figure out which version of the song that is. Any clues for which band plays that?

[petey987654321]

Awesome Song. Go maire Erin go deo!

[xAxiom720x]

pogues bass player is gorgeous 

[RichMaxwell]

Being 6'7" tall... The new Subaru Forester is probably one of the most comfortable non-full size vehicles I've ever sat in. Bravo, Subaru. heh

[ATrexOfficialSite]

Sometimes commercials are good.... I'd have never heard of this song if not for the damn Subaru Ad. Love the song!

[coventrygardens]

@ATrexOfficialSite i likely saw the ad about 20 times or more,& i just assumed that the song was made specifically for the ad. eventually i realized that maybe the song existed apart from the ad, and so i looked up the ad,& i found that the song wasn't just for the ad. i'm not sure why they gave such an irish flavor to the subaru ad. even without the music, the greenness of the hockey players' outfits gave it an irish flavor. i wonder why they would wish to do irish stuff in that kind of ad.

[ganja420life]

I like this song probaly cause im part Irish

[pricklyphlox]

This is a better version than the other version, except, they're both good. And don't say the Pogues sound like Dropkick Murphys. Jesus F'ing Christ. It's like saying Michelangelo draws like Frank Miller or something. Goddamn. But love, peace,love...

[deejayalemus]

@pricklyphlox agreed. saying Dropkick Murphys are like the Pogues is like comparing Blink 182 to Crass in my book.

[TrueTxGx]

@deejayalemus Why because of nationality or accent, (Shanes being a put-on by the way). If that your reason for this horendous comment then you truly know nothing about punk rock and by name dropping crass on a pogues song tells me your trying to prove the contrary. The analogy your trying to prove is two trad. Irish punk bands is to a pop punk and anarcho punk band. which doesn't add up my friend even in the darkest corners of this universe. 617!

[deejayalemus]

@TrueTxGx You have illustrated the ignorance of my analogy well, and as such I cannot fault it. Thinking about what you said, Ramones would have been a much better choice than Crass, that's closer to pop punk. My own experience of punk was stuff like Plasmatics, Reagan Youth, and DFL and movies like Repo Man and Class of 84. I liked some stuff, but I can't say I ever got that deep into the genre.

[deejayalemus]

@TrueTxGx Obstinate individuals don't make concessions. Assholes are always right.

[sionnyn]

@deejayalemus Well, we have to bow to bow to your greater authority on that one! ! ! !

[deejayalemus]

@sionnyn *Flawless Victory*

[FatTonyCologino]

If i ever die which i doubt will happen because of denial im immortal but if it does happen play this record at the funeral

[MultiTannerman]

Good song. Sounds like Dropkick Murpheys.

[DoctorKeithMacKenzie]

@MultiTannerman Thats because the genius Shane MacGowan was the first to combine traditional Irish music and modern rock. :D

[xxleandraxx1]

irish pride, ey? galway baby!

socalgirl#18

[Huriccanes9494]

Amazing melody

[dirtyhead4life]

Blessed be the bogtrotters, paddys, and all of my Irish brothers

[Surena310]

Fucking awsom

[i1killed2god3]

Can someone message me telling me how to take a vinyl and change it to a digital format? I'll get this, convert it, and post it!

[silver965]

@i1killed2god3 You would need to purchase a USB Vinyl Plater. they are not particularly expensive, and will generally come with software to convert Vinyl music in to the Mp3 Format. Cheers! and good luck.

[scflyer55]

@i1killed2god3 or how about just getting hold of a component turntable- hook it up to a pc microphone input- maybe using WINAMP or similar- or just SOUND RECORDER on a PC and then record the track- Windows will convert the .wav file to an Mp3 for you by right clicking the file. The USB plateer rippers run about $80 bucks plus. You might know someone with a working turntable- even a integrated turntable from an older stereo set will work-use the headphone output- keep the levels low.

[plymkerburke]

Found out about this song from a Japanese car commercial lol

[QueenMuchness]

@plymkerburke I have always loved this song - but I find the car ad an odd juxtaposition to the lyrics of the song. It's an ad for a big family suv. What do you think?

[crowleysridgegirl]

@QueenMuchness I liked the ad set to this song.Matter of fact,the frentic pace of the song went with the soccor mom's running around like a chicken with its' head cut off bussing those kids to games and back.I can identify.I'm sure the Pogues approved of the use of their song.I thought it fit.

[coventrygardens]

@crowleysridgegirl i think you meant "hockey", not "soccer". well, maybe you saw a commercial that i didn't see. well, hockey is kind of like soccer. similar games.

[crowleysridgegirl]

@coventrygardens sorry,duh,around here,it's just fball,bball,etc.No hockey or soccer.yeah,you are right,it IS "hockey mom."

[QueenMuchness]

@plymkerburke Do you find the ad an odd juxtaposition to the lyrics of this song? Keep listening to the Pogues - you will be happy you did.

[QueenMuchness]

@plymkerburke I have always loved this song - I do like the album version better. Do you find the ad an odd juxtaposition to the lyrics of this song????

[nachphenry]

Thank you for this! Greatness... Looking for some gin right now

[JTD19881369]

need to be faster

[Tokechan]

This version was made for the movie? I really like it!

[TurnTurnTurnTurnTurn]

Hey where the hell is the original. Give me the link people!

[akasmh]

matinee - the wharf -SF - great memory!

[hamersdale]

no matter how,when or even how,its the pogues...ledgends we shall always be...

[ZLUGGO]

I like the original one better.

[wisard734]

great song for a western style movie.

[mikewofsey]

I prefer this version to the original, it just fits better.

The movies was excellent, it just requires a careful viewing to understand what it's really about. It's only a "spaghetti western" on the surface, below that it's all political commentary.

[DERRYIRELAND]

Thanks 4 posting, great version, very hillbilly !

[danthegroin]

What the hell is this???? I love this song. Never heard this version before. PLease tell me! I have been drinking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SwindonByf]

Yeah this is a great version of the song, would've posted it myself but I only have the soundtrack on vinyl =P

[JTpoguemahone]

I'm sorry for you, do you want me to post some of your favourite songs of this soundtrack?

[SwindonByf]

That's OK thanks, these two were by far the best, though "Salsa y Ketchup" was quite funny even if it has nothing to do with the Pogues =P

[badambi1]

@SwindonByf you don't know how lucky you are
