I think I'd have to agree. Maybe you'll like the vocals more in this one. It was on the soundtrack of the 1991 Steve Martin movie 'LA Story', hence the clips in the video. Enya - Exile

The countdown of the 100 greatest songs by Irish artists started on the radio today, and they got halfway with some of the songs I've posted recently already appearing. It'll conclude next Friday, and I'll let you know which ones made the list. In the meantime, here's a song by an Irish artist who wasn't mentioned in the build-up to the poll. Cathy Davey - Reuben While I was looking for the video above I came across a version in Irish (as Gaeilge) with a couple dancing. It's fun.

Thanks, Hobie. I've replaced your link with the alternate video. It's from a TV show, but I think they're just miming to the single. The one I posted was on their official YouTube channel, so I'm surprised it didn't work.

While I'm on Irish artists, I couldn't ignore Thin Lizzy. This song was written by the band's frontman Phil Lynott and guitarist Gary Moore about Lynott's newborn daughter. Phil died when I was 15, but I did get to see Limehouse Lizzy, the best known Thin Lizzy tribute act, about 25 years ago. Thin Lizzy - Sarah

Did you mean to put that in your Minor Mentions thread?

To be honest, I'm not much of a drinker, and if I have a pint it's likely to be lager or maybe ale. I don't dislike Guinness, and it does taste different here, but I can't remember the last time I had one. My friend likes the 0.0 alcohol-free Guinness which I might try sometime since I usually have my car with me.

The General Lee is the STAR of the show.

Here's another Irish musician who remains a perennial favorite. I've just realized that this song is slightly older than me! Van Morrison - Moondance

Hazzard County is a great PLACE to live.

Emma Tisdale must be Irish then.

I'll try to keep up the Irish songs until St Patrick's Day, but not all of the great artists make songs with single word titles. Here's a great song about resilience and unsung heroes. It seems to have been an inspiration to a lot of the commenters on YouTube. Lead singer Danny O'Donoghue also spent some time as a judge/coach on 'The Voice UK' alongside Jessie J, will.i.am and Tom Jones. When you've been fighting for it all your life You've been struggling to make things right That's how a superhero learns to fly Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power The Script - Superheroes I'm now going to break the one word rule because I wanted to post a second song by The Script as we used to sing it in the choir. This one is about a man waiting for a girl to return to the corner where he first saw her. Paradoxically, given the title, I find it rather moving! Going back to the corner where I first saw you Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand Saying, "If you see this girl, can you tell her where I am?" Some try to hand me money, they don't understand I'm not broke, I'm just a broken hearted man I know it makes no sense but what else can I do How can I move on when I'm still in love with you The Script - The Man Who Can’t Be Moved

Awakening was great! Beautiful music and women! Nothing beats an Irish Babe!

that one or Magnum PI's Ferrari 308

JUG of shine! Happy DOHD everybody!

the singing is so/so but I like the music! very....upbeat! I liked this! She's pretty good looking! ( She'll never beat Emma Tizdale but still...... )

Also Mr. Pruit's bull that chased Rosco and Enos!!

I can't post it here because Tír na nÓg is three words and this is One Word Song Titles. Celtic Woman aren't mentioned much back in Ireland, I guess because we have such a wide array of other great Celtic music to choose from. I see they're playing your state a few times in the next couple of weeks - are you going, Roger? Here's one of their songs that does have a single word title. Celtic Woman - Awakening

This band are from Mullingar in Co. Westmeath, a place more recently famous as the hometown of Niall Horan of One Direction. The Blizzards - Fantasy

I didn't see the video Hoss. It says " Video Unavailable." See if this one works.......

Brandy

Happy birthday Catherine! You still have many fans who love and appreciate you!

Its like I talked to cousin Roger once on the phone and he said I have a deep Southern accent but I told him , " Hey, I don't have the accent, you've got the accent....lol! Remember that one Cousin Roger?

Do I have a British accent? Well, yes I do, but which one? Here's a selection of some of the accents you could hear if you visited the British Isles.

Another Minor Mention ( sighting?) is Jack Field....his mailbox was run over by Rosco and Boss in " Enos In Trouble" S.5 Ep. 9

I went to my local Antique store the other day and I found a Now or Never record for $8 so ofc I bought it!! I can't send a pic because im on mobile but it sounds really nice!!

Another Irish band, and this one's a family - three sisters and a brother. The Corrs - Breathless

Extremely late to this, do you still have it?

OK. I feel like a law breaker......I'm supposed to take a shower tonight but don't feel like it, so I'll take one sometime tomorrow. BUT...one thing I AM going to do is ....indulge in the spirits.......although these are minor spirits.....Old Milwaukee's Best Ice....not a higher power ( hard liquor!) !! I'm about to head to the kitchen while I'm watching MASH! I'm BACK fellow Hazzardites! I'm starting on my 1st one and watching Jesse Watters and they're talking about American being about ready to kick the Mexican drug cartel's ^&*$!! ....I'm about ready for #2 !! Hey fellow Hazzardities!! Where is everybody?? I'm making a very important managerial decision....should I go to bed and watch DOH or should I get my DVD of DOH and watch some now and then when I go to bed, watch even more ??

I think it's Appleby....but I.....kinda lost my way...so....not sure.....LOL ( I'm slowly drinking one now! )

I'll keep my mouth shut but I don't even know which doctor you go to. Is it Appleby or Petticord? Never mind, I don't want to know.

I'm sitting here slowly drinking a Milwaukee's Best Ice and watching Scooby Doo ( soon to be DOH) and I will drink a few more but I'd appreciate it, if nobody told my doctor. He doesn't like it, because of the surgery I had a little while ago!

If she's not as sexy as Miz Tisdale I'm not interested. But nobody is that sexy....well....the only thing sexier is.... Miz Tisdale riding a wheelie on her dirt bike.

I don't know if you'd like it or not though.....it's not as good as it used to be and they've up'ed the membership fees so......NAAH!! Happy DOHD everybody. I'm about to jump up from here and go get my wife from work and then I'll have a few Adult beverages when I get back and put in another DOH DVD and get back here in Hazzard. I'll tell you guys what I'm watching in case you want to watch with me. Hey Hoss...you better be careful...LOL! That video you put up had a girl laying down in slacks and...well...just be careful ....it was a little risqué LOL! be careful of of the MP's we have around here......( MP = Morality Police) I'm back and indulging.....I'm about to watch Jeopardy and then the news and then another Jeopardy and then....I head to Hazzard County!! My DR. gives me a dirty look when I talk about drinking because of the surgery I just had. Believe it or not, drinking hard liquor is better for me than beer because hard liquor doesn't cause the gas beer does! Hey guys! ( Fellow citizens of Hazzard! ) Nobody checks in on Friday night anymore! This is the day/night that DOH got going! We should try to be here and celebrate it!

Well, I'm just looking at the news and drinking a tea, which I shouldn't do because I'll be up/down all night! In a few minutes I'll be heading to Hazzard ( going to bed and watching whichever DOH I have in my DVD.)....it's season 5 but I don't know which one....can't remember....

Cooter turned Bo and Luke's black Charger INTO the General Lee.

It's a GTD, it doesn't say what year.

It can't be, because I remember that quote when I was watching DOH but I haven't seen season 7 yet. I'm pretty sure it's from the Cale Yarborough episode because they needed to paint 2 more general Lee's to confuse boss and rosco, and they all picked which parts they wanted to paint.

It looks like Garrett's still logging in, but just not posting at the moment.

Yes! Life is good once more. This ain't the same place without Garrett!

The top 100 greatest Irish songs countdown concluded today, and I said that the winner would be at least top 5 when I posted it a couple of weeks ago. Here's the top 10 along with selected others that I've posted on HNet. 1 Zombie The Cranberries 2 Nothing Compares 2 U Sinéad O'Connor 3 A Rainy Night in Soho The Pogues 4 Dreams The Cranberries 5 Take Me To Church Hozier 6 Crazy World Aslan 7 Brewing Up a Storm The Stunning 8 Killeagh Kingfishr 9 Fairytale of New York The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl 10 With or Without You U2 11 Grace The Wolfe Tones 13 Rocky Took a Lover Bell X1 14 Linger The Cranberries 16 N17 The Saw Doctors 17 Mandinka Sinéad O'Connor 41 Parachute Something Happens 44 Haunted Shane MacGowan / Sinéad O'Connor 50 Cannonball Damien Rice 52 Sarah Thin Lizzy 55 Heyday Mic Christopher 58 The Man Who Can't Be Moved The Script 60 Celebrate An Emotional Fish 77 Breathless The Corrs 83 Mary The 4 Of Us 100 Flame Bell X1 OK, so 'Nothing Compares 2 U' was written by Prince, but Sinéad O'Connor made it her own. U2 had the most entries with seven songs making the list. As you can see, as well as coming first, The Cranberries had two other entries. For Hobie, here's the one I haven't posted before. The Cranberries - Dreams

The music was nice but the words confusing

lotta HORSEPOWER under the HOOD of the general

I'm friends with a family from England who have been here over 25 years. 10 kids in the family. The parents have accents but you can tell they've been here awhile. Only the 2 oldest kids have accents. The oldest hasn't lost it a bit. Sounds much more British than her parents.

DIXIE....daisy's Jeep ( also where most people would like to live! ........in Dixie land I'll take my stand to live and die in Dixie...away ....away...away down Sooooouth....in Dixie!! )

Yes, it's from 'Dukes Meet Cale Yarborough' in season 2. Daisy volunteers to paint the flag on the fake Generals.

I'm out of reactions but you got that right HH.

I've heard this name.....what episode was he in or mentioned in?
