U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday

"Sunday Bloody Sunday. What a great song. It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn't it? You wake up in the morning, you've got to read all the Sunday papers, the kids are running round, you've got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you think 'Sunday, bloody Sunday!'."

I nearly died laughing the first time I saw that episode.

Voted for Come out you black and tans, but I'm sure there are better.

Sean South was a backward reactionary bastard aswell.

yeh. i've never understood the attraction of that song, especially when gigs where i've seen it played have frequently included ballads about james connolly and bobby sands without any sign of irony.

Indeed, he also had a habit of gouing round the back of cinemas in Limerick and shouting the odds at couples winching/kissing. Reactionary tosser.
Roddy McCorley, a song to the same tune as Sean South, is much better.

there's so many of them i may well have missed out one of your favourites - if so, please post it in below.

You have indeed, good Sir, and it's 'Grace' as sung by Anthony Kearns on this Youtube video:

FFS, at least post a decent version as opposed to the anodyne dross of Kearns.

No time for love - Christy Moore.

Brilliant

There are loads of versions of this song and that happens to be a favourite of mine. My grandfather sang lead tenor as a schoolboy and it reminds me of him.

I see what you're getting at, but songs like that can't be so polished as Kearns version is, it just doesn't work.

Guffaw!

Guffaw!

what do you find amusing about the british army shooting down demonstrators on the streets?

Nothing. I find Alan Partridge funny.

Alright?

 

[Pickman's model]

Nothing.

good. now fuck off.

 

[sleaterkinney]

A nation once again, but rifles of the ira runs it close. Fields of Athenry is a lament, not really a rebel song, and amhrán na bhfiann should be up there as well.

 

[Chairman Meow]

good. now fuck off.

You really are missing the point quite spectacularly here, which is almost as funny as Alan Partridge missing the point....oh never mind.

 

[skyscraper101]

good. now fuck off.

Oh dear. This really has gone over your head hasn't it?

I'll leave your precious rebel songs thread alone. It's clearly far too important a place to share a joke. Ironically though, a joke that would sit happily among the many songs pointing a finger at the British establishment and mocking it's ignorance of the Troubles and the overall Republican movement in Ulster. Never mind though eh?

Rebel songs. Srs Bsns.

i don't see what's so amusing bringing up something from alan partridge from years ago when, for me at least, the hilarity of steve coogan's dwindled more than a bit over the years.

 

[fieryjack]

i don't see what's so amusing bringing up something from ... years ago

Quite. Please keep all future references contemporaneous with the rebel songs quoted e.g. Mick Miller

perhaps if you read the middle bit about steve coogan not being so funny as he used to be due in part to oversaturation in the 1990s it would make more sense.

 

[fieryjack]

a far better (and less derailing) statement would have been

oops sorry, missed the Partridge reference

followed by a LOL or smiley or some other once-voguish way of indicating that you are an all-round humorous dude.
better by far than this nonsensical and kinda hypocritical justification that you are pursuing.

 

[Pickman's model]

but for some reason i've never found bloody sunday a particularly amusing subject

as for derailing, the repeated fuckwittery other people have posted has been far more disruptive on this thread than my original response.
