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.

IMPORTED kay-viar One of rich Rosco's first purchases (as pronounced by Cletus)

Thanks for telling me Hoss. Nothing really that close. If I was a bigger fan I would probably make the 2 hour drive to Akron Ohio.,

lotta HORSEPOWER under the HOOD of the general

farm

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

Home Tom Jones reference.

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

Grass

The GENERAL Lee is my farorite car.

FREEDOM was the underlying theme of the way Hazzardites lived!

It's against Irish law take a break before playing Tir Na Nog by Celtic Women. It is the only non-American song I could hear a million times and not get tired of.

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.

And I'm just glad Loretta never tried to hide her accent. I wouldn't have been a fan if she did.

I'll take a quick break from Irish artists for this pioneering 1995 Eurodance/dream trance/ambient house track by Italian DJ/composer Robert Miles. Robert Miles - Children The piano melody was sampled in this 2023 track bringing the tune to a new generation. Luckily, this also has a single word title. Switch Disco ft Ella Henderson and Robert Miles - REACT

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

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!! )

Shania Twain is one of those not country country singers, who had vocal coaches teach her how to pronounce words.....!! I can promise you Loretta Lynn NEVER had to have someone teach her how to sound country!

Out of reactions but thanks for posting this. My wife's favorite actor had a BD on March 1 too. He plays Sonny on General Hospital.

And that was a compliment! I love a southern accent. My favorite singers are Charlie Daniels and Loretta Lynn. I always wish the Dukes had accents that were more southern sounding but they probably couldn't find enough actors. Sonny is southern but your accent is way better than his. If I ever moved South I'd have an accent in a few days. It's such a natural relaxed way of talking.

CRAZY COOTER COMING at ya

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.

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