[martinuseful]

SO ANNON .CO IS STILL A FUVKING RACIE

[L0cu50m364]

I showed this to my father [Brian. I know, poetically, that's a shame.], and he already had the album, but had not placed the song! It's a shame they had to tame their 60's jazziness down to make it fit the theme, but it did fit perfectly. Also, I'd like to say that I've never kicked BIshop Brennan up the arse.

[wesmatron]

The way I feel now I could convert gays!

[anonUK]

Is this song actually any good?

That would be an ecumenical matter.

[cappaculla]

9 people don't want tea,

[0ceanicify]

@cappaculla FECK OFF, CUP!

[SCL0PS]

Ted, Luv Ya.Cheers DC. Sing while you can.

[jimbobjimminy]

WE HAVE TO LOSE THAT SAX SOLO

[L0cu50m364]

@jimbobjimminy I hit 'thumbs up' twice, mostly in memory of the horse. lol

[Darro85]

I never knew that he actually made a song out of the Father Ted theme until last Friday night when I heard it on a radio show. Love that theme so making a song from it is ace and it's very nice too.

[StanPomeray]

@Darro85 Well, he didn't make a song out of the Father Ted theme, its just that the Father Ted theme WAS this song!

[GrlLeastLikelyTo]

I can see Craggy Isle from here!

[rlw1980omfg]

those cows are far away...

[gards2]

he sings it very nice at the end..lovely :)

[lamchild]

can you actually get the farther ted theme tune? little boys running around shorts!! ya dirty feckers!!

[RockMyStripySocksOff]

Go on go on! Ah sure yull have a cuppa tea go on go on go on go on go on

[pepper247]

Is this from Father Ted? :P

[plugsocket1]

@pepper247 yes. the theme tune is sampled from it.

[pepper247]

@plugsocket1 Cool :D

[lordilujah]

@pepper247 yes its the actual theme tune

[rjconnolly2nd]

@pepper247 That would be an ecumenica... Yes.

[Clevinger928]

Wth. The sax was a very good addition to the song. I have no idea what you're compaining about.

[Mingaggins]

@Clevinger928 It's a quote from Father Ted.

[MsJamStudios]

This song... is wonderful.

[CountryQuestion]

Fascists dress in black and go around telling people what do whereas priests....... more drink!

[chrisalexander21]

[MasterzInGrime]

Father Dead.

[TheGrocer2020]

@MasterzInGrime harsh

[MasterzInGrime]

@TheGrocer2020 teah sorry 'bout that

[littlemisseemo]

@MasterzInGrime You sir are a horrible person. An annoyingly witty person. Well, as witty as playing on the fact that Dermot Morgan's dead, happens to rhyme with 'Ted'... I may have giggled, but only inside. Outside I was outraged! DOWN WITH THIS SORT OF THING!

[MasterzInGrime]

@littlemisseemo Very sorry about that. now DRINK!

[littlemisseemo]

@MasterzInGrime Arse?

[MasterzInGrime]

[Grendal55]

I`d forgotten how good Neil Hannon is. Nearly makes me want to go and watch an episode of Father Ted!

[nonamleft]

We really have to loose that sax solo.

[Harding1970]

Down with that sort of thing ;-)

[Ctaylor83]

@Harding1970

Careful now! :)

[criffer33]

ah go on

[ayeladdie1]

He looks like one fly motherfucker.

[CosmoKramer95]

I strongly recommend that everyone goes and listens to every one of this genius's songs!

[LisaLoops]

Oh, I love Neil!!!

[CosmoKramer95]

@LisaLoops who doesn't

[craigjsm]

Just saw Neil Hannon live here in Cork. During the instrumental part of this song, he got us to whistle the theme. What a performer :-)

[Siopann]

@craigjsm

I was at that gig too. It was brilliant :)

[JustJaywalkable]

His vocal range is pathetic, from what I've heard so far.

However, his voice is still lovely. (:

[wine4survival]

@JustJaywalkable You need to listen to more of his work then...

[WidnesWonderwall]

Fortune depends on the tone of your voice.

[SuperWolsey]

I'm down with this sort of thing! ;-)

[MegaAdam1000]

@SuperWolsey

Careful now!

[braddersthemod]

i saw him play this at the mosley folk festival on friday night, it was great, he got the audience to hum the father ted theme!

[BobJ93]

Dougal: Who would he be like, Hitler or one of those mad fellas?

Ted: Oh worse than Hitler, you wouldnt find Hitler playing jungle music at 3 in the morning!

[FrancisG32]

FATHER TED ROCKS

[gussyred]

mrwoc - lol - genius! xx

[stonedinsect]

[Seladoor]

@stonedinsect

Indeed, it could the next song for Ireland.

[scarylegodudes]

[lurch010908]

[shabongin]

"Waaaaayyyyy, we're all going to heaven lads".

[DJC11757]

In the words of the late great Dermot Morgan..."We've got to lose that sax solo!" Or: "DOWN WITH THIS SORT OF THING!" Careful now.

R.I.P Dermot and thank you Divine Comedy for the beautiful song which I've grown to love over the years...

[daviabramovitch]

Quanto ao que existe de anima em você não há o que ser feito a não ser sentir seu amor, na imagem. .. Eu tenho uma camisa igual a dele

[ashleykatsunshineboo]

[jimbobjimminy]

WE HAVE TO LOSE THAT SAX SOLO

[liccleterror]

@jimbobjimminy

There's fuck all wrong with the sax. I read your comment and feared the worst. It's hardly noticeable.

[jimbobjimminy]

@liccleterror You're not serious right? Or am I just bad at reading internet sarcasm?

[anonUK]

@liccleterror

Have you ever heard of a show made about 15 years ago called "Father Ted"? It was about Irish priests, most people associated with it were Irish, but the basic structure of the show was (surreal) British sitcom and it was made for British TV. You may find a few allusions to and quotations about that show in these comments, as this song was the original theme song, written for the show.

Better still, go to: watch?v=jzYzVMcgWhg

[NovaMobster]

@anonUK Taking credit from the Irish are we? The only thing British about Father Ted was that Channel 4 broadcast the show. Irish writers, and for most part, Irish actors.

[anonUK]

@NovaMobster

The ghost of Geoffrey Perkins, the British producer who more or less planned out the show, chose the theme tune, the setting and encouraged the writers to actually write it, might disagree with you there. Still, don't let me stop you hating the damn Brits.

[rlw1980omfg]

@liccleterror the bit at the end... /watch?v=jzYzVMcgWhg

[123scottlee]

@jimbobjimminy Remember----The only bad sax is no sax.

[cachaslokas]

@philkapune no need to justify sir, Its actually a pleasure learning for one, a lifetime hobbie, and I am a music lover so the depth is actually welcome..!!!!

[cachaslokas]

@philkapune no need to justify sir, Its actually a pleasure learning for one, a lifetime hobbie, and I am a music lover so the depth is actually welcome..!!!!

[brucefwaaa]

What an awesome song choice, and congratulations :)

[xJDagx]

How nice are you guys?! Thank you very much.

I reckon about 25% of the people recognised it as Father Ted, but either way there wasn't a dry eye in the house. x

[Sephirothwolf]

@xJDagx I'll admit i only found out about this song because of a music selection/interview show Pauline McLynn did for BBC7 but it's great song either way and I for one am glad i found this version. ^ ^

[ladymadonnasdaughter]

@xJDagx

that is beautiful that your wife filled you with songs of love :-))))

[Epistemofo]

@xJDagx Phenomenally good taste, hope you're both really happy!

[babymicrobe]

Wonderful. Great song - and it reminds me of all the laughs I had watching Father Ted, which by the way really is the best comedy ever.

[CommonSenseEccentric]

That Saxophone was beautiful

[BadEggCymru]

i played this song to my g/f and asked her "what theme tune is this?" she said "Vicar of Dibley!"

[giveahoot1]

Neil - Great music!
