Ummm... Pirate metal? Yes please! Alestorm - Captain Morgan's Revenge (and playlist)


and one of my favorite songs ever... The Foggy Dew - Sinead O'Conner and the Chieftains

[Gint]

Cheese metal! It's metal like that that just makes most people roll their eyes, I think, heh.

I like the second link, though!

Here's some more folky stuff from the oldest Irish folk band there is. Had a chance to hear this track many times over my trips to Ireland in some out of the way pub... no experience quite like that genuine Old World drinking establishment.

Rocky Road to Dublin - The Dubliners

[Anaie]

Cheese metal! It's metal like that that just makes most people roll their eyes, I think, heh.

Love the Dubliners.

I wouldn't call it Cheese Metal, I would call it themed metal. Considering I actually heard of that band from a major metal industry magazine, and the stuff is actually good (and fun). Honestly, most metal is cheesy... Iron Maiden (while awesome), Eddie is totally cheesy!

It's like saying Flogging Molly is Cheese Punk because they like pirates. heh.

And because I believe this thread should have a song in every post!

Seven Deadly Sins - Flogging Molly

[Gint]

Eh, two-dimensional songs about ale and wenching (which is the only subject matter they have) don't really equate with existential topics such as faith and religion, war, or the human psyche... but yes, Eddie is certainly his own crazyness in his own right.

Throwing a little of my main man 'ol Blue Eyes in the mix, since a little class goes a long way!

Frank Sinatra - Mack the Knife

[Yrzuli]

YAAARRRR~

Nick Cave - Fire Down Below

Anyone into chanteys should find themselves a copy of Rogue's Gallery. Only bad thing is that "...Drunken Sailor" is recorded horribly low. We've never been able to find a decent copy of the song. u_u;;

[Anaie]

Meh, sometimes music just has to be fun (which ale and wenching is!)

I see your Sinatra (excellent choice, though I would have gone with Darin or Armstrong's version and Sinatra's "witchcraft" hehe love it) and give you another Rat Pack era classic: Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime - Dean Martin "I don't drink anymore, I freeze it now and eat it like a popsicle"

Love the Rat Pack... *sigh*

And for my Canadian friends Baby It's Cold Outside

[Anaie]

And now for something completely different... NSFW
F@#$ the Police - Rage Against the Machine

While I love the original, I was super psyched to see that Rage covered this in a live gig...Damn I miss RATM!!!!

[Thalevia]

And for my Canadian friends Baby It's Cold Outside

Woo date rape song. No means no lads. Even if you are Dean Martin.

Pirates! In Saskatchewan! Some good old Arrogant Worms Arrogant Worms - Last Saskatchewan Pirate

[Yemana]

Fred Astaire - They Can't Take That Away from Me (vocals start around 1:35)

Clips in the video are from the film "Way Down East", starring the lovely Miss Lillian Gish.

[Yemana]

Stan Rogers - The Mary Ellen Carter

The Irish Descendants do a pretty damn good version, but alas! not to be found on Youtube.

[Mortica]

Always puts a smile on my face:

Simon & Garfunkel - Cecilia

[Anaie]

Mort has no led me to want to hear:

Kodachrome

[Anaie]

I loved the Judgment Night soundtrack...

Just Another Victim - Helmet and House of Pain

[Yichimet]

Gold Panda - Marriage (Forest Swords 1am redraw)

[Anaie]

Woooo!!! 80's Night!
