Zomby O'Woof wants to know if you like The Pogues?

[Zomby Woof]

We need more Irish music threads. :beer:

I love their cover of Dylan's "When The Ship Comes In". How about you?

[myrna minx]

1. I love Young Ned of the Hill...

That sone gets my blood pumping.

[vi5]

2. Yeah, but only with Shane McGowan...

Their post-Shane work left me cold. But Rum Sodomy and the Lash, and If I should Fall..... are all regulars in my stereo.

[roguevalley]

8. agreed. shane only.

[CaptainClark23]

12. When Strummer filled in

Made for some great shows.

Otherwise, I agree.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

3. Dirty Old Town or Fiesta.

[XNASA]

4. I love the Pogues.

We had Shane McGowan's DVD "Should I Fall from Grace" on Friday night while we were drinkin' whiskey and playing poker.

He should really get himself to the dentist. If you thought he looked bad in the 80's, you should see him now.

[Whitacre D_WI]

5. No, I am at work.

Ask me again later, when I am into my cups! Then I shall like the Pogues.

[XanaDUer]

6. Top 'O' The Morning to you

o'Zomby!


I don't know that much about the Pogues, though.

[The Magistrate]

7. Yes, Mr. Woof

An excellent band, very biting sound to them....

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

[Florida_Geek]

9. What group is that

:evilgrin:

[quispquake]

10. One of my favorite groups...

Along with my other favorite Irish singer Paddy O' Furniture...

Sorry, it's been a LOOONNNGGG day...

[blondeatlast]

24. They have many rehearsal spots here in Phoenix, all located

in upper middle lass areas with much retail. Loads of comfortable seating as well-they obviously love their fans.

I'll pass it along that their fame is spreading!

[markus]

11. Didja see the woman with a comb in her hand

wailing away on the wall of the strand?

Ok, it's official *too early* in the work day for the Pogesu.

[BigMcLargehuge]

13. the best holiday song in human history

"Fairytale of New York" on one of the best albums ever, "If I should fall from grace with god"...

Fiesta is one of my favorites too.

[CaptainClark23]

14. Streets of Sorrow/Birmingham Six

at the start of the evenin'

Fairytale of New York, at its close...

[markus]

15. Overt Thread Hijack: Just how long has the east coast had Smi'ticks?

Lo and behold, I roll into DC last weekend on a lark, and drop into the Hawk and Dove for lunch. And, lo and behold, there is a poster announcing cut-rate Smithwicks some weeknight through St. P.

And, of course, I had a quick Guinness at the Dulbliner, but quick switched to Smi't'icks. (Actually, I was saying at Jury's on Dupont Circle, and if you can stand the overly loud FM Radio/Soundtrack Of My Life music at Biddy Mulligan's, they pulled a clearly superior pint by the head stand test, if you please).

God, I fell in love with Smithwicks when I went to Ireland 12 years ago, and have considered it a major cultural defect of these United States that I couldn't get my hands on any.

[liberalitch]

16. pogues are great..

dirty old town is my favorite pogues song...

There is a Kate Bush song on Hounds of love called jig of love..... check it out!

[CatWoman]

17. that is so fucking funny

"zomby o'woof"

you slay me :D

:hi:

[liberalitch]

18. nice calicoes.....

are they indicative of the devil in your house... or just the desire to keep ashcroft out?

[CatWoman]

26. Actually, Streak is the only calico

Female is black smoke Turkish Angora.

Male is tortie mix -- Female's sister. She has some Angora traits like the fluffy tail.

Trin is Streak's sister, and is also tortie mix.

[Zomby Woof]

21. hehehe

Aye, lassie! I have a wee bit o' the Irish in me. ;-)

[dbt]

19. The Pogues For F*ckin EVER!!

Put on "Turkish Song Of The Damned" and watch the girls groove! Thank you, ZW!!

Fairy Tale of New York

Rainstreet

[greatauntoftriplets]

20. I'm always in the mood....

...for a little Irish music.

The Fields Of Athenry
by ?
(As originally published in 1888)
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a sweet voice calling,
"Danny, they have taken you away.
For you stole Trevelyan's corn,
That your babes might see the morn,
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay."

Chorus:
Fair lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small freebirds fly.
Our love grew with the spring,
We had dreams and songs to sing
As we wandered through the fields of Athenry.

By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young man calling
"Nothing matters, Jenny, when you're free
Against the famine and the crown,
I rebelled, they ran me down,
Now you must raise our children without me."

(Chorus)

On the windswept harbour wall,
She watched the last star rising
As the prison ship sailed out across the sky
But she'll watch and hope and pray,
For her love in Botany Bay
Whilst she is lonely in the fields of Athenry
Whilst she is lonely in the fields of Athenry.

[blondeatlast]

23. Loved their version of Cole Porter's "Miss Otis Regrets"

with Kristy MacCall?...

Drunken, toothless Irish punks--what's NOT to like?!

[henslee]

25. "You look so good you could have put out Viet Nam....".

great line.... from great song... that duet Shane did with Sinead O'Connor, "HAUNTED BY THE GHOST".

[supernova]

27. Yes, I like The Pogues

A lot. Found them through Johnny. :loveya:

I tell ya, all roads lead back to the Deppster.

[LanternWaste]

28. Haunted, Lorelie and Fairy Tale of New York....

Youg Ned of the Hill, Haunted (w/ Sinead O'Conner), Lorelei and FairyTale of NewYork are some of the most moving pieces of pop music I've ever come across....

[Donkeyboy75]

29. The Christmas Song

What great lyrics and melody.

[Bat Boy]

30. Been listening to them all day!

Rum, Sodomy and the Lash and If I Should Fall From Grace With God in endless rotation.

Got to see them several years ago when Shane was "too ill" to make it. Standing in for him, Joe Strommer.

Damn good show...

[mitchum]

31. I like the idea of The Pogues better than the aural reality...

I vividly remember apologizing to my friend Tony on behalf of all white people when he was rightly horrified upon hearing "And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda"

Tony: You crackers sure have some fucked up music
mitchum: C'mon man, a lot of us can sing better than that
