There's No One as Irish as Barack OBama

Written by Hardy Drew and the Nancy Boys.

Permission to add additional verses given to Shay Black by the Corrigan Brothers (Hardy Drew and the Nancy Boys).

O'Leary, O'Reilly, O'Hare and O'Hara
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama
From the old Blarney Stone to the green Hill of Tara
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama

You don't believe it, I hear you say
Barack's as Irish as was JFK
His granddaddys daddy came from Moneygall
A small Irish village, known to you all.

Hes as Irish as bacon and cabbage and stew
Hes Hawaiian, Kenyan, American too
If he succeeds, and he has a chance
Im sure our Barack will do Riverdance

From Kerry and Cork to old Donegal
Lets hear it for Barack, from old Moneygall
From the Lakes of Killarney to old Connemara
Theres no one as Irish as Barack OBama

Tooral - U Tooral U Tooral U Toor a lama
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

* NEW VERSES:
His Mams daddys granddaddy was one Falmuth Kearney
Hes as Irish as any from the Lakes of Killarney
His Mams from a long line of great Irish Mammas
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama

He looks after his own, a true son of St. Patrick
He chose as his mate, Joe Biden, a Catholic,
Proddies, Jews, Muslims, even the Dalai Lama
Know there's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama.

Our Baracks a hero, Ive heard them say
Fenian to Kenyan, the American Way
Hes Cuchulainn, Liongo, not Vishnu or Brahma
But theres no one as Irish as Barack OBama

A name is a name and there's no doubt about it
Barack OBamas name, you can shout it
Whether apostrophe or inverted comma
Theres no one as Irish as Barack OBama.

Now you Hillary supporters don't you vote for McCain
And the VP needs brains, so forget about Palin
With Cheney and Bush, they are all ignorama
Theres no one as Irish as Barack OBama

Last Chorus:
Tooral - U Tooral S Tooral A Toor a lama
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama
Tooral - U Tooral S Tooral A Toor a lama
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama

Note on the rejected EU Constitution and Lisbon Treaty:

The people of France and the Netherlands rejected the proposed EU constitution in the 2005 referendums. After this, other countries cancelled a promised referendum and the EU Constitution was re-written as an "amending treaty" or a "reform treaty" and named "Treaty of Lisbon".

On the basis of this deceit, they claimed that no referendums are necessary on the Lisbon Treaty. Ireland was constitutionally required to hold a referendum and on the 12 June 2008 the people of Ireland gave a resounding No to Lisbon. Yet this vote is not being respected and the rule of law is being ignored. The EU leaders agreed at the June 19-20 EU Summit that ratifications must go on. Moreover, no other government is asking the people.

The Lisbon Treaty establishes a new "European Union" with joint citizenship - an EU "federal" State that is technically and politically empowered to centralize more power in Brussels. The treaty also stipulates the militarisation of the Union in order to 'police the world' just like the US does today.

A great fight between two young travellers. The sound's a bit out of sync but still well worth a watch.

Barack Obama is yet another American President with an Irish bloodline

A slideshow I made to go with the lyrics of "Another Irish Drinking Song" by Da Vinci's Notebook.

Lyrics:

Gather 'round, ye lads and lasses, set ye for a while
And hearken to me mournful tale about the Emerald Isle
Let's all raise our glasses high to friends and family gone
An lift our voices in another Irish drinking song

Consumption took me mother and me father got the pox
Me brother drank the whiskey 'till he wound up in a box
Me other brother in the Troubles met with his demise
Me sister has forever closed her smilin' Irish eyes

Now everybody's died, so until our tears are dried
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink, and then we'll drink some more
We'll dance and sing and fight until the early mornin' light
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up and then go drinking once again

Ken was killed in Kilkenny and Claire, she died in Clare
Tip from Tipperary died out in the Derry air
Shannon jumped into the River Shannon back in June
Ernie fell into the urn, and Tom is in the tomb

"Cleanliness is godliness," me Uncle Pat would sing
He broke his neck a'slippin' on a bar of Irish Spring
O'Grady, he was eighty, though his bride was just a pup
He died upon the honeymoon when she got his Irish up

Now everybody's died, so until our tears are dried
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink, and then we'll drink some more
We'll dance and sing and fight until the early mornin' light
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up and then go drinking once again

(Mexican Hat Dance)

Joe Murphy fought with Reilly near the cliffs of old Doneen
He took out his shillelagh and he stabbed him in the spleen
Crazy Uncle Mike thought he was a leprechaun
In fact he's just a leper, and his arms and legs are gone

When Timmy Johnson broke his neck, it was a cryin' shame
He wasn't really Irish, but he went to Notre Dame
McNamara crossed the street and by a bus was hit
But he was just a Scotsman, so nobody gave a shit

Now everybody's died, so until our tears are dried
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink, and then we'll drink some more
We'll dance and sing and fight until the early mornin' light
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up and then go drinking once again

(Jewish Song)

Me drunken Uncle Brendan tried to drive home from the bar
The road rose up to meet him when he fell out of his car
Irony was what befell me Great Grand-Uncle Sam
He choked upon the very last potato in the land

Connor lived in Ulster town, he used to smuggle arms
Until the British killed him and cut off his lucky charms
And dear old Father Flanagan, who left the Lord's employ
Drunk on sacramental wine, beneath the altar boy

Now everybody's died, so until our tears are dried
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink, and then we'll drink some more
We'll dance and sing and fight until the early mornin' light
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up and then go drinking once again

Someday soon I'll leave this world of pain and toil and sin
The Lord will take me by the hand to join all of me kin
Me only wish is, when the Saviour comes for me and you....
He kills the cast of Riverdance and Michael Flatley too

Now everybody's died, so until our tears are dried
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink, and then we'll drink some more
We'll dance and sing and fight until the early mornin' light
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up and then go drinking once again
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up and then go drinking once again
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up and then go drinking oonce aagaaaiin

Is it the campus, with its Golden Dome and Basilica rising above the quads? Or is it the powerful campus liturgies and sacred quiet of the Grotto?

Is it the intense commitment of faculty who ignite our students' learning? Or the thriving community in the dorms, where bonds are developed that link alumni for life? Is it the storied traditions of Fighting Irish athletics?

Or is it something more? Something that can only be described as the spirit of Notre Dame -- a distinctive combination of faith, academics, service, athletics, and community.

Irish music is a folk music which has remained vibrant throughout the 20th century, when many other traditional forms worldwide lost popularity to pop music...

Named Amhrán na bhFiann in Irish
and Soldier's Song in English

CURFA (refrain, chorus) :
Sinne Fianna Fáil
Atá fé gheall ag Éirinn,
buion dár slua
Thar toinn do ráinig chugainn,
Fé mhóid bheith saor.
Sean tír ár sinsear feasta
Ní fhágfar fé'n tiorán ná fé'n tráill
Anocht a théam sa bhearna bhaoil,
Le gean ar Ghaeil chun báis nó saoil
Le gunni scréach fé lámhach na bpiléar
Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann.

ENGLISH
Soldiers are we
Whose lives are pledged to Ireland;
Some have come
From a land beyond the wave.
Sworn to be free,
No more our ancient sire land
Shall shelter the despot or the slave.
Tonight we man the "varna-bwail" (gap of danger)
In Erin's cause, come woe or weal
'Mid cannons' roar and rifles' peal,
We'll sing a soldier's song.

"Fragile Heart"

A fragile heart was broken before
I don't think it could endure another pain
But there's a voice from deep inside of you
That's calling out to make you realize

That this new bond gives inspiration
To all who feel no love appeal no more
So how can I break this wall around you
That's aiding both our hearts to grow in pain

So forget your past, and we can dream tomorrow
Save our hearts for card and lovin too
It's hard I know, but oh
One thing for sure
Don't go and break this fragile heart

A hurting mind in need of emotion
I don't think I could endure another pain
But baby in you, I've found affection
Affection I have never felt before

So don't let your past destroy what comes tomorrow
Don't go and break my fragile heart

With all this fire that burns between us
There's so much to lose
Yet so much more to gain
And if I could, choose the world around me
The world I'd choose would all revolve around you
So help me complete the game inside me
And help to mend my fragile heart

Beautiful love song I first heard from Placido Domingo and Maureen McGovern. My son Declan on the Irish harp. I recorded this for my CD of love songs. I would really love to sing this with Placido Domingo - if you are going to dream, dream big!

Garrison (An Garastún in Irish) is a small village in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, at the eastern end of Lough Melvin. In the 2001 Census it had a population of 357 people. It was a thriving town before "The Troubles" when it was cut off from the Republic of Ireland after the roads were blown up by the British Security Forces in an attempt to stop the transportation of explosives into Northern Ireland. When cross-border business halted, the town suffered from lack of trade and went into decay. A further IRA campaign displaced a sector of the population and bombed many of the remaining buildings. The British government decided to provide funds to rebuild in the early ninties. It is only since the roads reopened in 1994 that Garrison has found its feet again. This video recalls a visit to the village by Patrick Treacy in the summer of 1993.
