    I've never been a big fan of The Pogues or Shane McGowan's voice. The Dubliners are far, far, far better.

    Rocky Road to Dublin is really tricky to sing along with.

    Mullingar is mentioned in the song. That's close to wear my family live.

    Which is okay if it happens organically

    I hate when it's arbitrarily chosen ... in my old band, one of the cunts would come up with something and it'd be 7/8 for no discernible reason other than to be fussy ... I'd even play the thing in 4/4 and say "see? It works perfectly" but we were just so fucking clever

    I think most traditional Irish music is in 9/8, no? I could be wrong with that but am assuming with that particular song it was organic.

    Yeah lots of it ... that's what I mean though, it's an organic thing in Irish music... it's not like some arbitrary cunt called Eoin O'Boru who was big into Yes decided out of the blue in the year 859 that Irish songs should be 9/8

    Haha yeah good shout. Gotta be honest though I'm probably one of the twats who claps on the ones at the bar because I can't wrap my head around it. You ever tried singing along with that tune? As Jimmy said it's fucking impossible.

    Well in the case of music like that, clapping on the ones may not actually be "wrong"... emphasizing 2s and 4s really came out of blues and jazz, black American music... music swings when you emphasize 2 and 4... it's just that all popular music from the jazz era onward has been related to that idea one way or another, rock n roll, hip hop, disco etc so now it's the default... you ever see a country audience? They clap on one constantly even though the snare is usually on 2-4 in a typical country song

    I always find that people clap out of time to live Irish songs. Makes me laugh.

    Do you ever bottle them, Jim? Just bottle them and then stomp the breath out of them, shouting "CUNT!" with every kick?

    The overwhelming majority of popular music is in 4/4 ... 4 beats per measure, quarter note gets the beat... in most forms popular music the emphasis is on 2 and 4... one-TWO-three-FOUR

    Think of the AC/DC song "Highway to Hell"(I picked it because it's simple as hell and famous enough that I assume we're both familiar with it) ... listen to the beat the drummer plays... count with it and you'll notice the snare drum is struck on 2 and 4... on 1 and 3, there's no snare just the bass drum and high hat ... this creates a "feel" of emphasis on 2 and 4, causing you to clap your hands or snap your fingers in the same spots the snare drum is struck ... that's how the song is intended to be experienced

    Some people, however have a terrible sense of rhythm which will cause them to clap/snap on 1 and 3 as if Highway To Hell was written by John Phillip Sousa ... that's what we're talking about... those people

    My current favorite song this season is 'Baby its Cold Outside' mainly because many NPC liberal idiots are banning it from radio stations because they see it as date rape in the #MeToo Era. Even Woke artists rewrote the song with 'Responsible lyrics'.

    These morons need to get a fucking life instead of being perpetually offended by everything. Here is the original from 'Neptune's Daughter' sang by Esther Willams and Khan!!! himself, Ricardo Montalban.


    They also are criticizing Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas is You" because it is not empowering to women and sends a wrong message to girls

    Imagine being such a shite failure in life that the only joy you find is possibly upsetting people as petty and miserable as yourself that you likely never actually encounter in real life but read about on the internet...

    But it's totally true: I'm considerably better than some Potato-Head:
    • I've got my own teeth. He hasn't.
    • Im attractive & fit. He's ugly and dying slowly / painfully.
    • I'm healthy. He's a shambling alcoholic.
    • I can walk. He can't.
