This is one of the more raucous tracks from a band with a very rowdy history. It has been sung with gusto by many an Irishman who has imbibed more than his fair share of whiskey. On such occasions, the menfolk of Ireland tend to believe that they sound like an Irish version of Andrea Bocelli. The womenfolk of Ireland, however, seem to feel differently, likening such performances to Chewbacca having a seizure. Rebel Voice refuses to adopt a position on this tender issue.

I may be worse than Chewbacca! When I was in an Irish Band if they wanted to close the pub I would sing, one verse and even the staff went home! I thought I sounded great!
