It’s my Birthday Week (February 5th for those new to the game), so let’s start it off with a little background on our favorite Irish drummer, Robyn McKenna. I was put under the table by more than one Irish chick back in the day and I learned quickly not to compete with them.
So, in honor of Robyn’s heritage, a TRIPLE play of songs with Irish overtones. First up, “Whiskey In The Jar” by Thin Lizzy. One helluva a band from Ireland and a rockin’ version of an Irish folk song. Then, Denis Leary cracks me up and this song makes me laugh until I’m silly! Here’s his tongue in cheek “Traditional Irish Folk Song”. I’ve included the Irish Rovers for two reasons: one, I grew up listening to them, and two, this song is about Mountain Dew. Well, not THE Mountain Dew, but close enough.

Denis Leary ROCKS. Also, poitin FTW!
She knows where to drink! Irish bars and pubs are my favourite kinda place too.
We have the same birthday! 🙂
That last song reminded me of one we used to have on a record called “Good Old Mountain Dew”
I love Dennis Leary’s stuff. Pretty sure that song is from his “No Cure for Cancer” CD.
How I loved Thin Lizzy! I always remember Phil Lynott when he was asked was it unusual being black and Irish answered “So’s Guinness”
MHROTD.
Steve.
Happy Birthday, fellow Aquarian! Mine is five days after yours. Cheers!
Ducking is an art that I have never seemed to master.
Oh, I thought Whiskey in the Jar was a Metallica song?!
*ducks*
LOL, I’m just kidding, and I too know when to duck.
Your birthday week? Happy birthday, Byron! Good to see those old songs (and cartoonists) live on and on. 🙂
Note I didn’t say “old cartoonists” 😉
Well céad mÃle fáilte! Twixt Bud’s actin’ the maggot for tha’ full shilling demon-cailÃn an’ the craic at this dodgy new shebeen, I’m thinkin’ yer becomin’ a right cute seanachaÃ!

Would have written you a story, if I’d known… Probably a good thing I didn’t know.
I spent the first half of the month swamped in birthday stories. *twitch*
