Traditional Irish Drinking Song

[Ladyjuliet81]

You should hear this in a whole hall of drunken SCA'ers! nothing quite like it!

[urbankepa]

Such bands ought to be forbiden... well... imprisoned as well, I think. RAPISTS!! :/

[Washu1973]

Decapitation: Check

[jerrindk]

[MrFALCONKID]

XTREMELY HAPPY IM PART IRSIH.......GO IRELAND!!!

[IrishAssassino]

that song is so true lol i agree ice i love being irish to im also part scottish but i injoy being irish more lol

[ChantMacleod]

All the songs we have on YouTube and THIS is the one with 276,000 views? Look, the deal is this: it was written by actor/comedian Denis Leary. He's Irish. We thought it was funny. We copped it for our band when we played at the New York Ren Faire. Also, for the person who asked, the chords are Em, G, D, Em, and the "We have no heads" part is C, D, Em. Thanks for watching!

[metallica04100]

@ChantMacleod Actually the chords are like this: when the flute plays, it goes Em Em D Em Em G D Em. When the lyrics are going, it's Em G D Em. When they say "We have no heads", it's Em D Em Em. When they say O' Hamrahan, it's C D Em Em.

[1pixle]

[xXToxicWasabiXx]

[PUNKROCKINTHISSHIT]

@nickSH0TLitKerosene i believe it was "a traditional irish drinking song"

[IrishMorgenstern]

Oh my God...what the hell?

[chomp500]

I'm sorry but this song seems more like a joke than anything else

[Goatmon]

@chomp500 It was written by Dennis Leary, no shit it's a joke. :P

[sushiqt07]

@Goatmon NO different dennis leary....its a real song.

[EmOsItSiMo]

TATS SO COOL

[CannabisDelux]

[bailliekins]

Traditional my arse!

[jo11111]

Fags.

[fergwaggle]

Big load of made up SHIT makes a mockery of traditional irish ballads

[MangoSalsa]

@fergwaggle You're absolutely right, it does. It was written by actor/comedian Denis Leary to poke fun at the Irish. Dipshit.

[Dizvii]

God Dammit why does everything Irish lead back to drinking. This is a poor image for the Irish.

[himesam100]

@Dizvii because that is what we do

[mientjeXL]

Ahr for pirates! Avast maties!

[smillyemma]

yeay! DECAPITATION! XD

[KevinH2k7]

dosent look sound or play like an thing to wo with traditional irish stop what your doing

[pnevilleful]

I don't know if Dennis Leary did it first, originally or what, but his version is funny, whereas this one is just pitiful, not to mention the gay pirate side of it.

[mufcstokesy]

hmmm! in all me time drinkin i dont think i ever drank to this song!! an i like to think i like me irish tunes

[mysisterfanny]

why is he dressed like a gay pirate? i myself prefer the more traditional genre that was indeed pitiful :(

[BloodyBitch94]

Being Irish myself, i this this is a sad portrayal of us. Pitiful, just plain pitiful...

[DLS95]

@BloodyBitch94 couldnt agree more with you

[dannyryaneire]

I am Irish and all I can say is that this is painfully crap!

[pmcd20]

Im with you on this. Irish also and painfully crap..

[kevenLucky13]

what's the name of the song

[metalgod1993]

what does the title say smartie XD

The title is the name ot it XD:P

[FidgetNOW]

FAIL!!!!

[seamusotorain]

Cover of a Dennis Leary song, but it's still good. It's meant to be a pisstake, lads.

[SolutionsTactical]

the speaker doesnt sound irish what a ripp

[Creature845]

@SolutionsTactical I'm fairly sure he's a pirate guest vocalist.

[nnoose]

it would be nice if it actually ryhmed maybe once

[iloveushadowleggy]

and its god decapitation.

"all im saying is im there, lets decapitate the yanks"

[JolynJanis]

This is a crazy coincidence! That's my "Yaaaaaay" in the beginning of this video! I was there, so it makes sense, but its amazing that I came across this random video at all. My brother was searching "Irish Drinking Songs" (brothers) and he called me to ask if i was on youtube on a drinking video.

Hello to whoever posted this. We were sharing Renaissance Festival beer festivities together and didnt even know it :) Funny stuff...

[JASONX410]

I loled at the pirate looking guy.

[LOCUkDk]

bollocks te yers, this is sick, am leavin... though it wernt all tha rubbish though, just not brill enough to listen to twice

[GabbieKa]

I want that blue scarfed mans boots... they great!!! Got a great handbag to go with it...about the song... its quite catchy... but then again...Im not irish..

[1badvampirebitch]

are they at a ren fair

[IvorRash]

This is bollocks.

[minipizza]

Needs some harmony. then this would be better.

[crashusmaximus]

fuckin horrible cover.

[ClaudiaBParks]

This is a rip from Denis Leary

[ImperialCommander]

I can't understand much, but I like the rhythm

[Optimusnorm]

Yup in Ireland everyone dresses up as pirates before singing traditional Irish songs...we couldn't get out the front door as kids for the bloody swords, muskets and kegs of black powder.

[JASONX410]

HAHAHA Good one.

[cobhlanger]

@Optimusnorm HA HA HA HA HA BRILLANT

[teslagirl1]

@Optimusnorm  don't forget that bloody potato eating parrot.

[D4rkSh4d0wZ]

@Optimusnorm You forgot the drinking and the orange beards :D

[gbobeck]

"Traditional Irish Drinking Song" seems to have originated from Denis Leary's "No Cure for Cancer" album.

[unitedfourprem]

Worst song ever

And polish fella you's are noting compared to us Irish ;)

[doctorwholordotime]

but walmart songs are awasome!

[NHMntnHIGH]

[SlitherinGirl]

Camera skills suck no offence

[Markvdl25]

They stole this from Monty Python!!!

[RazelG]

Denis Leary is the one who actually came up with this.

[JegErNitro]

great

[TravisDrago]

Drink Up Me Lads

[cambershots]

i hate americans trying to be irish too you dont see the british doing it my second name is kelly which is very irish and im british i dont give a shit lol american irish lol.

[germanman95]

what are you talking about?

[RazelG]

Why would the British want to be Irish? Why would Americans want to be Irish? And by this I mean, why would anyone want to be something they aren't? I'm American-Irish, proud of my Irish heritage, but I am not "Irish" by birth.

[amgceg]

Everyone should want to be Irish! It's an amazing heritage! No doubt about it! But, I'm Irish...and osh aye! I'm proud of it!!!! What do Americans have? Bad economy and cheesey foods...what does Ireland have? Music, food, freinds, coulture, history.....Bad economy to, but they manage to work through it...I'm living in America now, and I wish I was down in Ireland with my people!

[worldDuck7]

were u actually born in ireland? or are u just saying u wish u were.

[amgceg]

Well, I was ALMOST born in Ireland, I was, as they say, "Made in Ireland", but then my parents went back to america!!!!!

[worldDuck7]

are your parents of irish decent then? im asuming yes.

[amgceg]

almost, my grandparents are....They just used to go back and forth from ireland to america

[worldDuck7]

ok well there goes my fun. i was hoping to make fun of you for a good reason. but at the moment i have none. :)

[drunkenirish420]

fuck you im british and irish but what with the hate so what he american shut up be drunk and happy

[rosco233]

Well it's not like America has it's own culture so we just mooch off our ancestor's =D

[Carolitagirl]

That is soooo well said... I actually have to bow and recognize an american accepting that fact so lightheartedly. After all, people should love and be proud of their ancestry, wherever it might lay. :D

[NoelD59]

im confused here im irish and proud of it !! this video is lame but who cares once these poeple are enjoyin themselves, its what the song was indended for !!!!!!!!!

And for those irish people disin irish american desendents , stated they have no irish blood of course they do , there ansetors were irish those one who were lucky enought to get work and send money home which hepled alot of familys back here in irieland and kept the country running so change the attuide ..........

[bellybuttontits]

hate Yanks trying to be irish!!!

[KidsWithFire]

AMEN!!!

[hgrant007]

Irish ancestry people here in the US are overbearing and stupid. Did they forget that Ireland didn't lift a finger to help the war effort in WW2? THEY WERE NEUTRAL in the greatest war ever.(US had to get help and bases in Iceland)

In modern times, IRA (Irish Republican Army) continues to kill British soldiers and people using guerilla tactics

Wear orange on St. Patty's Day!

[psyconinja7]

hey the irish are fighting for freedom like we did form the british ok so don t think bad about them because we did the samething to the british long live green

[PoeticRyan]

Ireland wasnt in the war due to there Army and Defense force which is small,but they have helped the US Kosovo and Afghanastan to name a couple conflicts. its irrevaelant but Ireland wouldnt have been a good place for a base in WW2 because it was so far out of any conflict but Dublin was attacked in WW2 and the Irish arent overbaring or stupid we dont take no shit and cant be pushed around and the British need to get the fuck out of Ireland and the US uses Gurella tactics thats what the SOF does

[Chiisaisan]

Poetic Ryan, That was a wonderful way to word that. -agrees fully-

[monreader]

why should the irish fight for someone who had oppressed them for hundreds of years(the british), and america only entered the war when they where attacked by the japanese, and the ira fought for freedom. you sir are a fucking fool.

[astonJLSmarvin]

irish and drinkin go so well into 1 sentance

[generalchaos187]

if u want a proper trad drinkin song listen to seven drunken nights forget this rubbish they havent a clue what a proper session is they would but on their arses before leavin the first boozer for fuck sake

[GoodbyeSanity]

exactly! britts say mum. why do we persist on fighting? i have a complicated blood line. sioux indian and irish. 'tis where i get my love of drinking. im not calling myself irish but i do have irish ancestry. so those of you fighting. . . bugger off.

[Newbornvision]

Its a renaissance festival. Midevil theme. NO ELECTRONICS. Great people too hangout with. The workers know how to have a good time

[Liamobrien09]

wannabe fucks!!!

[fionnoc]

Couldn't agree more. Jesus those fuckin yankee clingon wannabe irish fuckers think they are Irish?? Why don't any of them ever shit on about their British heritage? Or anywhere else? If you aren't born here, or lived here, you are NOT Irish. Erin go bragh, fuck the wannabes.

[fionnoc]

BTW, I have a cb-1 if you want to buy it ;) Never been couriered, immaculate. Mail me!

[getOUTamyCOUNTY]

a plastic paddy is someone who thinks they're Irish when born in any other country but Ireland. Most plastic paddys have little or no Irish blood in them and come from the states or Australia.

see that St. paddys day march, everyone of them a plastic paddy all wannabe's seen more Irish blood when I cut meself shaving

[Demialia]

[deadmanxJ]

[HailstormCourier]

i got Irish in me from my mom, i like it, we all have opinions bud

[KardKaper]

Just because your mum is irish, doesnt mean your blood is irish. Blood is blood, your mum being irish has nothing to do with it.

[HailstormCourier]

my ancestors still fought among the Irish, their blood was Irish and mine is too, i dont care what you say, right now id die for Ireland, or France, so piss off bud

[ludermic]

[crazyirshman82]

"The word is "amateur" if you may try to dig the word you just wrote, it would mean "lack of matureness", lol, you americans can't learn your fucking language but here in mexico you get to choose who speaks it well, and who don't, hylarious"

Oi! Little known fact, English created the English language ;) The Americans just use it. By the way, you spelt hilarious wrong.

[missyahamad]

[crazyirshman82]

i know this song. its pretty good but this version is just amature. still good for an amature attempt though.

[Sergioterol]

The word is "amateur" if you may try to dig the word you just wrote, it would mean "lack of matureness", lol, you americans can't learn your fucking language but here in mexico you get to choose who speaks it well, and who don't, hylarious.

[fordfocus08DL404]

[bobbyzulu]
