Flogging Molly is another Celtic punk outfit that's really good. "Drunken Lullabies," "What's Left of the Flag" are hard-driving like Shipping Down to Boston, while "The Sun Never Shines on Closed Doors," and "If I Ever Leave This World Alive" are more poignant.
@@loganrideout9151 That's because Flogging Molly is more genuine. Murphys were a lot more punk before they remade the old Red Sox rally song. From there they went really hard on the mandolines and bagpipes. Now they've just basically become a faux folk mascot band for the city of Boston
As a die hard Boston Celtics and Boston Red Sox fan, nothing better than hearing this song blasting through the speakers in person. The atmosphere hits different every time I love it 💯💯
@@RobSquadReactions No questions asked. Been able to attend at least 20-30 Red Sox games by now. Gotta scream your heart out to that song every time. Only right way
@jimo7593 - According to GOOGLE, Corned beef was consumed majorly by Irish- Americans, which People tied to St. Patrick's Day. Cabbage was paired with it because it was the cheapest vegetable available . As far as St. Patrick, I think the tradition of chasing Snakes out of your town wouldn't really catch on.
Do you know that there are pipes in the song, or are you only sharing bagpipe facts? I tried to listen for them, but can't hear any. (The only pipes shown in the video were highland pipes, that we *definitely* don't hear.)
@@RikardPeterson That was my recollection. Their website lists bagpipes played on the song so I guess it could be Scottish. Thought they sounded like Irish.
You knew Uillean pipes! 😢 I’m getting a little misty. Nerd note: I used to play Dungeons and Dragons when I was in high school, and I had a bard that played the Ullean pipes and told dirty limericks about Lord of the Rings. His name was A Bard Named Sue.
@@davidpietarila699You should check out the band Nightwish, in a number of their songs over the past decade or so they have one of the band members playing the Uillean Pipes Iif he isn't playing the Low Whistle or the Bouzouki or guitar or the mandola... dude plays a lot of instruments!)
Here in Boston every year The Dropkick Murphy’s play 3, 4 or 5 shows around st. Patrick’s day. Tonight they’re playing their 4th show in a row at The MGM music hall at Fenway.
For the happiest funeral video you could imagine, pull up their song, "Going Out In Style." "Rocky Road to Dublin" would have been another ideal one for today.
The official videos for "Rose Tattoo" and "Tessie." "Rose Tattoo" has more of a traditional Irish folk sound to it. The band gets arrested again, this time at Fenway Park, in the video for "Tessie," which is a remake of a song sung by Red Sox fans in the very early 1900s. There is no better band to sing along to in public when you're somewhat inebriated.
The song Rose Tattoo gets on my nerves because every time I want to listen to the band Rose Tattoo who've been around since the 70s Alexa insists on playing this damn song lol
Hi, you two! It's Andrew Erroch fae Paisley in Scotland here. I had a chance to see this band when they came to my workplace at The OVO Hydro in Glasgow, but I was away in Thailand at the time. I believe they rocked the place though, as you would imagine. We have a strong Irish connection up here in Scotland, especially with us being originally Irish many many years ago and of course we have Glasgow Celtic football club, the main rivals to Glasgow Rangers. There are also many great Irish pubs in Glasgow, serving great pints of my favourite drink, Guinness. Even though this band is from Quincy, Massachusetts, they clearly have Irish roots and fit very well into our culture over here. I'm sure they will be back and I'll hopefully have another chance to see them in person. Æx 🙏
@scotland638 Every big city has fierce rivals, though. I see you appear to be a Killie fan, and you're giving me the score against St. Mirren this weekend, because I'm in Paisley... If Ayr United were in the Premier League, wouldn't you have the same rivalry with them as Rangers do with Celtic? 🤔
@@BuddyBoy68 We do have a rivalry with Ayr, though not as toxic as the Celtic and Rangers rivalry. Apologies about the Killie score 😆 I assumed with your username you were a St Mirren fan 😆 just banter, mate, no offence intended.
Happy St. Paddy's Day from Ireland, Amber, you have great taste with your shirt. This is great music. Enjoying it, thanks ☘️ 🍀 ☘️ 🍀 another irisb band. The script is amazing. Hall of Fame is a great song. Would appreciate some time.
Ohhh you must react to The Levellers. They were a folk rock band from the 90s and were absolutely HUGE in the UK with the younger generation. They headlined Glastonbury back then. They have a very folky but heavy sound, with that 90s indie feel that you guys love. Their stuff is very uplifting and went down very well with the carefree youngsters. A couple of their mammoth anthems you must check out are "Fifteen Years", and "One Way". These totally encapsulate the carefree indie 90s mentality. They use violins and mandolins with heavy guitar work.
I hope you get to Mary Black this St Paddy's. She was tested to have the most perfect pitch among English language singers, and for decades her voice was used as the benchmark for recording equipment. Her hit, ""Past the Point of Rescue", was covered in the US by Hank Ketchum, but Mary herself never pursued an American career, preferring to remain in Ireland.
My earliest memory of Mary Black is her on the Late Late Show back in the 80s singing Colcannon with her sister and brothers. No instruments bar their voices. Check it out. Video on TH-cam. Knock your socks off quality harmonies and chording. No such thing as auto tune then. And when you listen - they had no need of it.
@@chrisharris7931 Haha, I admit at not being in love with it the first time I heard it, but it grew on me. I seem to recall that people didn't call Jimi music back in the day either. :)
Hello, I'm new to your cast since 2/15/24, love it. I'm 68, been in music scene since I was 15. Love seeing people react to new music experience. Makes your world turn Female Friday: P J Harvey. "to bring you my love's or " down by the water" Hope you will enjoy!!!
More Dropkicks all the time right now!! There's so much to say about the band and the song. They're NOT just St. Patrick's Day band. They are legends in Boston and punk rock. I could spend 5 minutes recommending songs. Hope you do more
Dropkick Murphys are crazy underrated. I see them in Boston around Paddy's day weekend every year. Saw them on the 15th, a little over a week ago. The crowd was electric, the pits were heavy, the vibes were immaculate, and I saw a man with a wooden leg... Crowdsurf to this song... Holding his wooden leg up as the Murphy's sang "---TO FIND MY WOODEN LEG!" I uploaded a clip of that just the other day actually. I got receipts Here's some other good songs: - Rose Tattoo - Gorgeous lyrics, catchy song. - Fields of Athenry - Old Irish traditional updated with punk vibes - Spicy McHaggis Jig- Funny scot/Irish punk song about a scumbag - Worker's Song - Pro-Labor Pro-Union anthem. - The Dirty Glass - Irish Punk Ballad about a love/breakup between a man and his bar (and struggles with alcoholism) - Until Next Time - Fun farewell song. - Tessie - Maybe the greatest sports song ever written.
Dropkick Murphy’s even appeared on one of Boston’s Championship Parades. It was awesome seeing them perform live on a trailer bed going through the streets of Boston. One of our Best Parades
I went to opening day at Fenway Park in 2005, the year after the Red Sox won the World Series for the first time since 1918. Got to see the Dropkick Murphy's play a gig at a bar next to Fenway Park which started at around noon on opening day. It was the greatest party and celebration atmosphere imaginable.
This is Celtic Punk, blends traditional Irish instruments with punk style. Dropkicks have been doing it for close to 30 years, now, but there are others you'd love--think you played a Pogues song when Shane MacGowan passed away, and they're one of the originals. Charlatans are another great one. Favorite Dropkicks album is still the live one from 2002. This isn't an Irish mob thing, just street kids getting into scraps (although it was used in an Irish mob movie--it was the main song on the soundtrack to Martin Scorsese's "The Departed"). Band did used to have a bagpipe player in it, years and years ago, a giant mountain of a man who went by the stage name "Spicy McHaggis," but he's been gone for quite awhile.
One of the unofficial songs of the Boston Red Sox...this, "Tessie," "Dirty Water," and "Sweet Caroline" (Fenway started the trend of that song in stadiums). You'll hear them all at any game at Fenway Park.
I was a bartender around Boston for many years, and worked places both fancy and humble. Among the humblest was an Irish Bar that had a lot of Irish mafia as regular customers. I had great fun and made great tips. They also had great Irish bands that played several nights a week.
I live near Boston and they play several night of shows every St. Patrick's Day there, can't remember the last time they didn't sell out. And just to ad a movie i think you would like, The Commitments, A film that takes place in Ireland with lots of fantastic music.
~Massachusetts band! They *throw DOWN!* ~Amber, when you first heard Ken Casey's voice...your FACE!!!🤣You weren't ready for it, but you just dove into it *like a boss.* ~I'm presently enjoying a fine Irish whiskey - at home. *The pubs, taverns and bars are pure 'amateur hour' in those joints tonight.* ~"I'm Shipping Up to Boston" is a song with lyrics written by folk singer Woody Guthrie. Not actually about a pirate. Possibly a stevedore or a seaman.
The Dropkick Murphy’s The Seasons Upon Us is one of the great Christmas songs. It is part of the ultimate Christmas punk trio of the Kinks Father Christmas, The Pogues Fairytale of New York, and the Dropkick Murphy’s The Seasons Upon Us.
Great stuff. They did Fairytale Of New York a few months ago and Father Christmas the year before. Let's keep reminding them to do The Season's Upon Us this year. The video is fantastic.
My daughter saw Dropkick in Boston last St Patrick’s Day! She was kind enough to FaceTime her dad and I which was very cool! Brought back memories of my punk days in Boston, MA and Providence, RI. Her dad and I were pretty envious but proud she got to experience her first punk club show with a band of this magnitude! She and her BF had a blast!
My sister and I were kinda disappointed they did The Irish Rovers but not that one. We'll take what we can get.🍀🇮🇪 Happy St. Patrick's Day from Seattle ‼️
Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of my RSR brothers and sisters from The Emerald Isle from a guy descended from those who plundered you!! LOVE The Dropkick Murphys!
Glad y'all checked out Dropkick! They've got an absolutely amazing ballad called "Rose Tattoo", from their "Signed and Sealed in Blood" albul, that'll get a lump in your throats.
I’m happy to see this one. I’m a fairly new transplant to Boston from the Midwest and with such a large population of people of Irish descent they go *hard* for St. Paddy’s Day here. This song feels like the unofficial theme song of Boston. They play this song at local sports games and if you’ve ever seen a Sam Adams commercial, you’ve probably heard it there as well. Edit: You want Italian mob AND Irish mob vibes? Come to Boston 😂
FINALLY!!! Been begging for this ever since the channel was just Jay in front of a rainbow brick backdrop. Dropkick Murphys (DKM) are Boston Irish punk. They are an awesome band to see live & are very welcoming to their fans. Some other songs of theirs I would strongly recommend include "Rose Tattoo", "The Warrior's Code", "Captain Kelly's Kitchen" (a fun song), "The Green Fields of France" (a beautiful tribute to fallen soldiers), "Wicked Sensitive Crew", (another fun song) "Worker's Song", "Last Letter Home" (which is a tribute to a DKM fan who was killed in Iraq - the lyrics are taken from letters between he & his family), "Deeds Not Words", "Forever" (a beautiful love song), "Which Side Are You On", "Heroes From Our Past", and at Xmas, y'all have to react to "The Season's Upon Us". The band has been around for 25+ years, so there's a lot to choose from!
In the mid 2000's I knew a bunch of amputees at Walter Reed and they all had this as the ring tone for their phones. It was there way of saying im not going to let this stop me.
Great song but their inspiration was the Pogues! Please play some of the original Irish punk they made famous……Streams of Whisky, A Pair of Brown Eyes, If I Fall From Grace of God, so many more! RIP Shane MacGowan
I went to a Dropkick Murphys concert with a boyfriend. Not really my kind of music, but it was a lot of fun. They put on a great show. My favorite song was The Dirty Glass.
My son Morgan is a big fan of the Dropkick Murphys. Not on my radar, but that's what I like about your channel. You give us exposure to lots of music that we might not otherwise listen to.
This is an American Celtic punk band. This is their most famous song as it was featured in the Scorcese film The Departed. Since you've done Fairytale of New York, I'd recommend The Pogues' "If I Should Fall From Grace With God".
dude. I grew up between the neighborhoods of. charlestown (which is Boston) and Winter Hill (which is somerville). Legendary irish mobs that fought an actual war in the late 60s that had 68 murders.
When i'm full of anxiety or frustration, this is my goto. Turn it up and loudly yell/sing with them. For me gets the bad out so I can be happy again. Lol
Thank you for this one. Our group performed comic relief bits for a local belly dance troupe for three consecutive years, and this is the song they chose for our introduction. Ah, the memories.
In Boston it’s a Suffolk County official holiday known as Evacuation Day. It commemorates the day in 1776, March 17, that we drove the British occupiers out of the city of Boston.
Happy st. Patty's, RSR fam. A ways back you did "the Whole of the Moon" by the Waterboys. We recently lost one of the key players of that group, Karl Wallinger, a multi-talented singer/musician who recorded under the name World Party. I would LOVE if you would check out his song, "Ship of Fools" or "Is It Like Today". If you get back to the Waterboys, I recommend "Fisherman's Blues" from 1989. Thabks!
Flogging Molly is another Celtic punk outfit that's really good. "Drunken Lullabies," "What's Left of the Flag" are hard-driving like Shipping Down to Boston, while "The Sun Never Shines on Closed Doors," and "If I Ever Leave This World Alive" are more poignant.

'Do or die' was prime Murphys.

Flogging Molly is so much better.

No bagpipes were harmed the making of this video.

Plenty of bleeding ears from this noise, though.

Remember this is like the theme song of The Departed. ☘️☘️☘️
Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Definitely worth of their movie channel. Very Irish mob movie Jay needs to see!!!

Same Daniel!! 😂❤️🥷🤘🏽
Unfortunately, I'm still a Masshole, Daniel. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

"Rose Tattoo" is a MUST to watch next!
For sure. My personal favorite of theirs. Great video too.
@@kham1163 The video is amazing with all the fan submissions.
Yeah. It’s easily my favorite of the band
Uillean pipes. The Irish version of bagpipes. You don't blow into them but press air into them.

For some Christmas Dropkick Murphy's, you MUST do "The Season's Upon Us" next Christmas.... My favorite holiday song!!!!!!
So funny!! One of my favorites too!!🤣
Best Christmas song ever!
I suggested it last year for Christmas and I believe the year before that as well.
It is part of my mandatory Christmas punk trifecta. Kinks, Pogues, and Dropkick Murphy’s.
SAME!!!
This song is in the movie, The Departed. If you haven't reacted to it, you really should.
So Good!!
Yes....this would be a great movie to review!
Awesome movie
This is sort of the unofficial theme song of the Boston Red Sox. Every Sox fan knows and loves this tune.
Last night at Bruins game!!🏒
It used to be Tessie, another good one by dropkick.
Awesome! If you want a crazy celtic punk experience, I'd recommend Flogging Molly's Black Friday Rule. I think you guys would love it.
Here in Boston every year The Dropkick Murphy’s play 3, 4 or 5 shows around st. Patrick’s day. Tonight they’re playing their 4th show in a row at The MGM music hall at Fenway.
For the happiest funeral video you could imagine, pull up their song, "Going Out In Style."
"Rocky Road to Dublin" would have been another ideal one for today.
They would want to bleep a few words in "Going out in Style," but the song and video are great.
YES! see, rocky road is awesome. there are so many versions though, I love the "Young Dubliners" version
How about Finnegans wake
👏
I've told my kids that's my funeral song

A Celtic punk band from Quincy Massachusetts
The lyrics from this song where written by Folk legend Woody Guthrie
Great live band 🎶❤️
From Oklahoma, if I remember correctly.
And just for the sake of accuracy, it is pronounced "Quin-zee," not Quin-cee, when speaking of the town in Massachusetts.
The Notre Dame "Fightin' Irish" football team always come out to the field with this song playing!!! Way to get the crowd pumped!!!! Slainte!

“The Unicorn Song”
by The Irish Rovers

Written by Shel Silverstein. Though the follow-up, "Narwhal, the Continuing Story of The Unicorn" is not one of Shel Silverstein's.
Dropkick Murphys Rose Tattoo is one of my FAVORITE songs, and they do a killer Christmas song too!
The Murphys can be called a Boston Irish hard core punk band with accordions and gang associations. Very cool.

This is probably the most well known dropkick murphys song, but my personal favorite is 'Rose Tattoo' which is DEFINITELY worth a listen.
I’m happy to see this one. I’m a fairly new transplant to Boston from the Midwest and with such a large population of people of Irish descent they go *hard* for St. Paddy’s Day here. This song feels like the unofficial theme song of Boston. They play this song at local sports games and if you’ve ever seen a Sam Adams commercial, you’ve probably heard it there as well.
Edit: You want Italian mob AND Irish mob vibes? Come to Boston 😂
FINALLY!!! Been begging for this ever since the channel was just Jay in front of a rainbow brick backdrop. Dropkick Murphys (DKM) are Boston Irish punk. They are an awesome band to see live & are very welcoming to their fans. Some other songs of theirs I would strongly recommend include "Rose Tattoo", "The Warrior's Code", "Captain Kelly's Kitchen" (a fun song), "The Green Fields of France" (a beautiful tribute to fallen soldiers), "Wicked Sensitive Crew", (another fun song) "Worker's Song", "Last Letter Home" (which is a tribute to a DKM fan who was killed in Iraq - the lyrics are taken from letters between he & his family), "Deeds Not Words", "Forever" (a beautiful love song), "Which Side Are You On", "Heroes From Our Past", and at Xmas, y'all have to react to "The Season's Upon Us". The band has been around for 25+ years, so there's a lot to choose from!
In the mid 2000's I knew a bunch of amputees at Walter Reed and they all had this as the ring tone for their phones. It was there way of saying im not going to let this stop me.
Ohhh, love the Dropkick Murpheys! My daughter introduced me to them years ago, lol:)
Great song but their inspiration was the Pogues! Please play some of the original Irish punk they made famous……Streams of Whisky, A Pair of Brown Eyes, If I Fall From Grace of God, so many more!
RIP Shane MacGowan
For me, 'Going out in Style' is my goto Dropkick Murphys' song. Listen to it at least once a week, always good vibes 🙂
Dropkick Murphy "worker's song"
Great song explaining the Irish experience
Just saw them live on St. Patrick's Day in Boston. It was awesome and they closed out the show with this.
This is an amazing band to go down a rabbit hole with. Rose Tattoo "official video" next please. Ya can think us later.
That was the theme song for the police drama "Crossing Jordan". It was set in Boston. I loved it❤
Grew up in Boston. The video captures every HS party I went to.
Slainte, to Jay and Amber and all of the RSR family. From an old Irishman a long ways from Ireland 🇮🇪 ✌️
Thanks for the reaction. Awesome song!!!!!
I went to a Dropkick Murphys concert with a boyfriend. Not really my kind of music, but it was a lot of fun. They put on a great show. My favorite song was The Dirty Glass.
My son Morgan is a big fan of the Dropkick Murphys. Not on my radar, but that's what I like about your channel. You give us exposure to lots of music that we might not otherwise listen to.
Happy St. Patrick's Day from Boston! 🍀
Happy Paddy's Day Jay and Amber!
thanx for playing it!
~ Jay in Boston ☘
They are New England ROYALTY! We consider then a National Treasure. Especially if you are from Boston, you hear them at every sporting event.
YES YES YES!!! Boston Boys! Love the DMs
I love you guys. You seem like you enjoy what you do, and enjoy each other's company.
This is an American Celtic punk band. This is their most famous song as it was featured in the Scorcese film The Departed.
Since you've done Fairytale of New York, I'd recommend The Pogues' "If I Should Fall From Grace With God".
The sound you are referring to is an accordion, Rose Tattoo, LEEBOY, Going out in Style, The Green Fields of France.
The Murph's are AWESOME!
Drunken Lullabies FTW gotta do that one!!!!!!! These guys are pretty friggen unique and Drunken Lullabies is GREATTTT if you enjoy this.
Proud Masshole, here! Dropkick are legends!
Boston girl here. Heyyyy! ❤
Having been born,raised and still living in Boston, this is our anthem! 🍀💚☘️
Thought that would have been Time to Go, their song for the Bruins
dude. I grew up between the neighborhoods of. charlestown (which is Boston) and Winter Hill (which is somerville). Legendary irish mobs that fought an actual war in the late 60s that had 68 murders.
I can't help thinking of The Departed when I hear this great song.
I haven't heard this in ages, what an awesome song
Good song good reaction and happy St Patrick's Day
When i'm full of anxiety or frustration, this is my goto. Turn it up and loudly yell/sing with them. For me gets the bad out so I can be happy again. Lol
We here in Boston love our Drop Kick Murphys
Thank you for this one. Our group performed comic relief bits for a local belly dance troupe for three consecutive years, and this is the song they chose for our introduction. Ah, the memories.
Great reaction. Love the Dropkick Murphys!
Happy Saint Patricks Day from Scotland 🎉🎉🎉
In Boston it’s a Suffolk County official holiday known as Evacuation Day. It commemorates the day in 1776, March 17, that we drove the British occupiers out of the city of Boston.
Happy st. Patty's, RSR fam. A ways back you did "the Whole of the Moon" by the Waterboys. We recently lost one of the key players of that group, Karl Wallinger, a multi-talented singer/musician who recorded under the name World Party. I would LOVE if you would check out his song, "Ship of Fools" or "Is It Like Today".
If you get back to the Waterboys, I recommend "Fisherman's Blues" from 1989. Thabks!
“Dirty Glass” is definitely one of my favs by DKM
Rose Tatoo is a must!It tells a wonderful story of Irish family loyalty! 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
