Know one's covered it? What about...oh I don't know...the Bee Gees.

[eoinmolyneux]

@vyanvictory What I mean by it's not been covered properly...is that The Bee Gees, changed some of the words to bring it up to date...I was doing the proper original version...sorry if I made it seem as though I was having a go at the Bee Gees, but thats the point I was trying to make.

Did you know its actually disrespectful to sit when singing the Nation Anthon but i do relise that this is not the official. That is why they always ask you to stand before they start then sit when they finish

Smileehy'am Ellan Vannin!

[eoinmolyneux]

yes i apologise for that and i know i should stand up even if it isn't the national anthem cause its just that amazing...and i apologise

[trumpetruss]

Eoin... I should have guessed! It's russ in case you were wondering! Oh dear.. oh dear... I expected better from a techie! :p

[eoinmolyneux]

[ManxMistress]

I am not sure if I should slap you for this or thank you for doing the full version of the poem. Either way I guess you would enjoy it.

[ClaireEmChlo]

be fair, it's really hard to have the confidence to sing standing at a webcam! I cant.

[costedmn]

Can you not perform a better song like, i dunno, "i love horses" - much better song and more believable

I love this song! it reminds of home (ok, I admit it, I'm not manx!) but I made up my mind to move there one day when I was about 9 and I know that I will.

[TennantDuck303]

since there's so many manx people commenting, I feel obliged to. ^^

I've never heard this song properly, I'm enlightened! :D

seriously, I'm only part manx, but I feel more at home on that island then the town I've lived in all my life. But then again, name like mine, its is rather manx... We should all be as patriotic to our island like this!

Long live The IOM!

'There is a world power greater than IOM and that is America. Have you ever thrown an American and lived to tell the tale? I think not. ' - I've thrown an american, he was a drunk minnesotan ice-fishing racist and he bounced quite nicely due to his manatee-like insulating blubber. Final Score: MANX 1 - YANX 0

I ran away before he pulled out the obligatory firearm...

[maureenOWW]

Stay off the cheese chips n gravy son, it'll kill you in the end.

[KarenT23]

You go Boy...

[TraveltoMexico]

I think your video is patriotic and downright sweet. Thank you for sharing your song.

[iomchick89]

its gr8 2 hear a proper version of this song :) long live the IOM :) im 100% manx and proud x

[lacey0421]

how come everyone is just bitching about whether it should be in manx or whether its official. can we not just focus on the fact that molly sings the song very well. after all the song is expressing a love for our island, wot more can we ask for.

[QueenofMann]

I think it's about time the Manx come forward with their official national Manx anthem...

There is one, right and it is in Manx Gaelic, right?

The rest of the world is waiting with bated breath!

[QueenofMann]

Shamraig and Mikey...whatever sharp object you're sitting on, kindly remove it. You are too uptight. Are you the experts we should refer to with questions about Mann?

There is a large population in this owrld that do not know where is situated! Be pleased anyone takes an interest.

There is a world power greater than IOM and that is America. Have you ever thrown an American and lived to tell the tale? I think not.

[eoinmolyneux]

lol i know that i darn't do it without checking it lol..i know something would go wrong and knowing youtube i would be bollocked for it...and plus i love the manx language so much i would...but yeah...make sure i'm not singing the complete wrong thing lol.

[shamraig]

When you do make sure you check it with an expert and then do a recording and post it here.
