Hope this wasnt posted already!
I’ve seen that around, can’t remember if it was posted here or not. Always funny to watch.
One viewer comment confused me though: "it’s actually better than the original!! not that i dont like the pogues… " 
It’s the sort of thing I might have hoped to post out of my sometimes oblique sense of humor…but who knows. Maybe there are brain lesions to consider. Not that I have any, you understand.
Now I see where SNL got their 90’s skit “Tarzan, Tonto, and Frankenstein’s monster sing…”
Yes, it has been posted here a couple of times, but what the hey! And I agree, it is better than the Three Nine-and-a-Halfers.

Yes, it’s been posted, but hey… a classic, is a classic! It’s hard to tire of this one. 
Well, I hadn’t seen it before, and I must say …
That made my day.
Best wishes,

That was brilliant! I love the Muppets.
It’s still “Danny Boy”. 
OK… it’s hard to tire of this version. (viewed once every few months)
But I’m serious. 
Do you have any idea of the pluck it takes for me to sit thru even a Muppet parody of it? The first time I saw the clip, I said, “Screw it,” and nuked the clip before it barely got started.
Ye old humbug, ye.
What with you and ‘Danny Boy’, and Dubh and ‘The Quiet Man’, there are few Irish cliches left for the rest of us to enjoy without the feeling that some disapproving old git is waiting in the wings to tut at us.
Sheesh… (See avatar for ersatz :rolleyes: emoticon)
I must admit it took me some time to actually want to click on the link. That has to be one of the best renditions of Danny Boy I’ve ever seen
Danny Boy is just SO overdone here in the States. It’s the epitome of Irishness…if you play something authentic, you are scoffed at and told to play something really Irish, like Danny Boy
.
As for Dub’s aversion to The Quiet Man, I think it’s because deep down he really wants to be like the John Wayne character. I can so totally see him being all “Sean Thornton” 
Instead of Barry Fitzgerald.

Yeah, I know what you mean, Izz, but the obvious chance to have a pop at both Nano and Dub at the same time was more temptation than I could bear…
I actually prefer this rendition. I find it particularly moving when sung like this. The Muppets were funny, I agree but I preferred this guy. I liked his bhaav and the touch of originality in his rendition.
This is what I think of when I talk of Irish songs moving me, including the Londonderry Air. I would feel sorry for myself if I were to be no longer moved by it.
(Unfortunately I cannot post a video clip of me listening to this to validate how moved I feel. )
Not sure if you are joking or not, but I like that one… simple, sweet and one I can listen to and feel the emotion intended rather than fatigue, or saccharin overload.
Its the first time I’ve heard “buachaill” turned into “bushel”. Cheaper by the basket, maybe.

Extra points if the only instrumental accompaniment comes from an ancient, hopelessly-out-of-tune upright piano, especially if there’s a pint of Guinness sitting on the lid.
