St Patrick's Day Event

[erockradio]

Hope to see a lot of you at the event! For that day, we could be running some Irish music. I've already put together a decent collection of material, but always open to suggestions. Could be traditional irish songs, covers of traditionals, funny songs, etc. Anything you think would fit in nicely, post away. To cut off some of the emails I know would be coming in: YES ,we have Metallica's cover of 'Whiskey In The Jar'. NO, we're not gonna play the full version of 'Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald'. We'd lost half the show playing that. :rolleyes:

[Coffee Diva]

"Today I am Gregg 'O'Pie' Hughes!"

[Hudson]

Ok I would love whiskey in the jar, Unicorn song, as a closer: tourragh lourragh lourragh.
But what do I know?

[Coffee Diva]

Oh yeah, obviously you'd want to play some Irish-tinged skacore. Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, etc.

And of course, this:

AC/DC, It's a long way to the top (if you wanna rocknroll)
Kickass song with a bagpipe solo. Check it out. On High Voltage
I think. You need bagpipes. :icon_bigg

[lankyirishman]

Anything by the Prodigals is good stuff. Kick ass irish band with good ole time favorite covers

[Bach]

Some traditional Irish stuff to consider:
The Pogues
The Waterboys
Goats Don't Shave
Blackthorn

FYI, Blackthorn does a tune called "Seven Drunken Nights," which would be ideal for the show. All about drinking and sex.

Sexbagel, if you want the song and can't find it online, PM me and I'll send you a copy.

[lankyirishman]

Nice choices Bach

[APortablePhone]

Dude, all you need is some fucking U2, an eightball of coke, and a fucking pint of Guinness mixed with champagne. Or you can just play some Irish bands like Stiff Little Fingers and The Undertones, but no fucking Cranberries. Crazy, nuts, and insane.

[Coffee Diva]

Maybe I should use my infrequent-flyer miles to crash this shindig.

[click]

The Corrs, only if there's video though. I think
the chicks hot. :icon_mrgr

[Jolie]

If you want something less drinking-related and just Irish, Clandestine is pretty good.

[Bach]

Nice choices Bach
Thanks. Based on your screen name, I'd say you're qualified to DJ this party.

You spend enough time at Irish festivals, you pick up on the new good stuff :)

Actually, if you have heard the promo running on XM, they're already using a Pogues tune as the music bed. It's "Cotton Fields," I believe. But there are alot of other songs that rock that could be played at the show.

[Coffee Diva]

If you want something less drinking-related
No, not really.

A lot of my friends are hardcore Irish. My real name is pretty Irish. Any way this is what they listen to. Play some.Black 47 (http://www.black47.com/music.htm)

[lankyirishman]

Yeah I noticed. Dont want to sound like snob in anyway. Would love to hear the boys kicking it to nice Irish tunes all day long for the "eggs and kegs"

That's what I hear. My friends have been going to see b47 for years. I never even gave them a chance till recently. I sent a link to Sexbagel, hope he uses something.

"Down to the old pub instead" - Stephen Lynch
"Do virgins taste better than those who are not" (not sure of the artist)

[Bach]

"Down to the old pub instead" - Stephen Lynch

Absolutely. This goes without saying.

I posted this in another thread. Anyone in the Caldwell area that wants to go? I would go if I have company, I'll drive. As long as you know how to get there. :icon_eek:

[Maynard K]

Eric, did you say funny Irish songs?? Holy fucking shit this is going to be a rib tickler. I'll make sure I strap on my laughing cap and pour a slow pint of Guinness for the nonstop Irish hyjinks!
Euuuuuckkkk!
fuck amature day.

School of Rock version.

[Maynard K]

Eric, your sig pic is the funniest episode of SNL EVER! I was working that show when it aired.

[Tug McGroin]

Quick list off the top o' me head:

seven drunken nights -flogging molly

salty dog - flogging molly

Irish drinking song (as far as i know) - Dropkick murphys
3rd or 4th verse is:
"And Mary MacGraegor , well she was a pretty whore
She'd always greet you with a smile and never locked her door
But on the day she died all the men in town did weep
For Mary MacGraegor finally got some sleep"... how can you not like THAT?

new york girls - finbar furey

Whiskey, your the devil - whoever..

wasn't that a party - irish rovers <yea, yea, i know.. but hey, its the rovers.. >

[TurboDan]

Wolfe Tones have some pretty cool songs. They do alot of the rebel IRA fight songs. "Rock On Rockall" is a good one. In addition to Whiskey in the Jar, there's another song called "Whiskey You're The Devil" that's really good. The Pouges actually do a REALLY good version of that in a real barroom/party beat that would be PERFECT for the flow of the show into a new segment - fast and upbeat. Seven Drunken nights is cool but it goes on forever.

For individual songs that would work on the show, I'd suggest

Dropkick Murphys - Finnegan's Wake
Dropkick Murphy's - Boys on the Docks
The Pouges - Whiskey, You're The Devil

and of course, "I Love Being an Irishman" from the Most Offensive Song contest of years past.

[HerkyJerkySmurf]

Gotta have some Black 47 : Maria's Wedding,Funky Céilí , Rockin' the Bronx

[kloraferm]

Is this really going to turn into "wacky Irish day"? That won't be too annoying.

[Bach]

Irish music inspires drinking and good moods. How can you not be happy while listening to a song like "Drink & Fight." That's just good music!

[kloraferm]

I just get bored with "cute theme parties", so I guess now I'm gonna have to drink. Hmm, maybe it does work. :icon_mrgr

Flogging Molly - If I Ever Leave This World Alive

[Joe Orthex]

I may bike in and wanted to know, if anyone does know, is there a bike rack anyplace where I can chain up my bike?

[XMScott]

I may just make an apperence, hmmmm

Just tell them who you are, im sure they will do anything for you, including allowing you to bring your bike in, just a thought

Oh great one

[KillerChris]

My pic is in my avatar now so I expect a friendly hello from my buddies here.

[Spitfire5151]

Definitely Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly.

[PatFromMoonachie]

I have one question:

"Who put the overalls in Mrs Murphy's Chowder?"

[kid afrika]

I really wish I knew how to spell that chuckling mumbling shit you do after a crap joke.

I agree, ED deserves VP treatment at this point. I don't know ED, but I don't think that's his style. His site is amazing oavirus.com

[XMScott]

I just hope they dont give me shit for having an expired ID, lost my licence

Blondies and the Beacon Theater didnt give a shit, Hopefully Hard Rock wont either

[click]

Dog you gonna be there for St. Patty's?

[PatFromMoonachie]

Sir, it would be my pleasure for you to put your bike in my van that will be in the garage across the street.....pm me if you want to

[Joe Orthex]

Sliver mongoose bike with WOW on it (noticiable from both sides). Pat from Moonachie, I will take you up on your offer. I mean, what you gonna do, run off with my bike?

Ahh, rrrrrr, crash.

[XMScott]

I always thought bagpipes was a Scottish thing.

[OpieNuggets]

Spinal Tap's 'Stonehenge' sounds Irishy to me (though Stonehenge may actually be in England).

[JhaxShucksChock]

I've had an expired ID since the end of August and I've never had a problem getting into a bar in NYC.

[prozac]

They will let you in but I hope they don't give you a hard time to have an adult beverage!!!

[kevtv]

Flogging Molly is a MUST. The promo has a bit of "Drunken Lullibies" in it...
some suggested tunes:
Rebgels of the Sacred Heart
What's Left of the Flag
Tobacco island
Salty Dog
May the Living Be Dead
Selfish Man
Screaming at the Wailing Wall

[Stuck in DC]

Anything by Shane McGowan, especially the Pogues greatest hits, tracks:
2: the Irish Rover
4: Fiesta
6: Fairytale of New York
8: Streams of Whisky
13: White City
and for Lil' Jimmy - 20: The old main drag

[Stuck in DC]

If the Hard Rock does the right thing at the door, we can probably get some real live NYPD or FOP pipers from the parade as soon as they are done marching!!

[giant pop tart]

The Skels (Paterson, NJ) have been compared to Flogging Molly, and they also do a great cover of "Whiskey you're the devil"

Too bad they're already playing March 17th at 4pm at Flannery's on 14th street. :action-sm

www.theskels.com (their mp3link isn't working, but I can post some of their songs on my website if you want to use them)

[Boston Funbags]

Sirius?....Hoo!, Hoo!, Robin, look at my new bike!......Hmmpf, hrr, ehh!


No Problemo! ERRRRRRRRRRRRRR PSSSSSHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! (I don't have a car crash pic handy)

[cokelogic]

Obstacle 2 by Interpol.

Not exactly an Irish drinking song, but always sounds like one.

[Wally1985]

the wild rover, finnegan's wake, the rocky road to dublin. all performed by dropkick murphys. also the spicy mchaggis jig would be awesome too by the dropkick murphys

[CallmeQtie]

All excellent irish choices. I am feeling the need to bust out my irish music now

"I Love Being an Irishman" from the Most Offensive Song contest of years past.

[mainliner]
