For some reason, I felt like hearing Sinead O'Connor sing "Danny Boy" today... although I really like a lovely instrumental version done by Phil Coulter and James Galway...
Looking around YouTube, there are all sorts of interesting renditions of this song... Are you ready for The Muppets to sing it?
How about Willie Nelson?
Any way it's sung, it's a pretty song. The first time I heard it, I was in college. Our choir performed it and I had it memorized in no time. I've been known to break into this song quite often, especially when I'm hammered... which I may very well be at some point this weekend. So I hope you have a lovely St. Patrick's Day...
Ill-fated blind date... St. Patrick and Medusa...
Here's some others to enjoy. Some you'll be familiar with, others perhaps not. Lyrics have been supplied where possible. We want to hear you and the hubby belting these out. Nice and loud, we wanna hear it in Ireland.

You'd rather hear me than my husband. He can't carry a tune in a bucket, while I can very honestly claim to have a very nice singing voice. It was one of the things my parents passed along to me. Fat lot of good it does me, but it's fun to break out in song sometimes and shock people with something besides my filthy sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteMy 'Danny Boy' has been known to set car alarms off. You should upload a version on Youtube.
