Scissor Sister's version of Pink Floyds "Comfotably Numb".

A horrible cover of it that all the Floyd's fans hate but oddly enough pink floyd said that they really liked it.

Suppose il bite d'aul worm here, so why do you think Irelands Call is a disgrace keep_the_faith? Is it because it represtents 32 counties instead of the glorious, victorious 26?

Agree Irelands Call - What is it

Its neither a 26 county anthem nor a 6 county anthem nor a 32 county anthem
Its just a lets all feel good celtic tiger - forget about the past not try and work out the future dont offend anyone - politcally correct - no passion/ no history piece of muck !!!

Walking Tall in Donegal by Margo was very controversial indeed.
It included the lyrics " WHEN WE CROSS THE BRIDGE AT LIFFORD WITH THE SAM MAGUIRE CUP"
It was so controversial at the time that they team actually took the train and came into the county via Bundoran.
SHOCKING STUFF SO IT WAS.
