Sticking with Irish artists, I woke up with this song in my head this morning, and it was played on the radio this afternoon. Bell X1 - Flame

Charles TYNER Played one of the silver thieves in 'The Hazzardville Horror'.

Six Flags

Duke ROBBINS

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Hobie. Sadly, Dolores O'Riordan died from drowning due to alcohol intoxication in 2018 - she was 46. To show her range. here's a powerful song she wrote in response to the IRA's bombing in Warrington, England in 1993 which killed two children. Since Dolores' death, the song has become a stadium anthem, starting in her hometown of Limerick. I'm expecting this to be at least top five in the countdown of 100 greatest Irish songs I mentioned above. The Cranberries - Zombie

Automatic

Tom PRYOR The old lawman in 'Witness for the Persecution'.

I've been reminded just how many great Irish artists there are, so I have a few more tracks which I'll spread out over the next few days. Next, another song inspired by unrequited teenage love. Singer Dolores O'Riordan wrote this about her first kiss at a nightclub when she was 18. She fell in love, but then saw the man of her dreams kiss someone else a couple of weeks later. I was amazed to see that this video has had over half a billion views and over 90k comments. The Cranberries - Linger

Dukes MEET Cale Yarborough

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

Another Irish track. This was written by one of the band members when he had a teenage crush on a girl a year or two older. He was too shy to talk to her, so one day when he saw her being picked by her boyfriend, he made up this backstory about the boyfriend being an abusive cheater. The 4 Of Us - Mary

Why Can't This Be Love - Van Halen

Big JIM Downey

Hogg's GREETING Card Printing Company

The radio station I listen to is compiling a list of their listeners' favorite 100 songs by Irish artists for a countdown finishing on St Patrick's Day. For a small island, there are a lot to choose from! Here's one of my favorites. I hadn't heard it before I moved here, so I don't know how well known it is outside Ireland. Something Happens - Parachute

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

I was about to say that those were the only two Semisonic songs I knew, then this one came on as was coming home tonight. 'Secret Smile' is a bit slower than the last two.

COWLICK CREEK Enos names Abner in 'Enos Strate to the Top'.

I don't think they let you in for using Google!

I've only ever experienced friendly banter.

They previously had a hit with 'Closing Time' in 1998. "... you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here".

This came up on my playlist earlier today. How can it be 25 years old!? Semisonic - Chemistry

Enos mentions of couple of unseen Hazzardites in 'Enos Strate to the Top' when he's listing the important crimes he's solved: "All I could put down was rescuing Mrs. Finster's cat from a telephone pole and finding Abner Peabody's long-johns after the hurricane of '72."
