Finnegan's Wake
What happens when a dearly loved Irishman passes on? Well, it's time to celebrate his wake. This song is dedicated, no doubt, to the Irishman's love of funerals and whiskey, "Finnegan's Wake" supplied the theme for James Joyce's famous novel of the same name.
The Unicorn Song
This "Irish song" is not really Irish at all, but the Irish Rovers found it and turned it into a St. Patrick's Day classic.
We added our own special touch to the tale. It's a favorite among our fans!
Whiskey in the Jar
This is a personal favorite of mine. Yeah, Metallica tried to turn it into a rock song, but it will always be a classic Irish tale of love and betrayal with a great chorus!
Wild Mountain Thyme
Okay, this really isn't a St Patrick's Day song, but I love the song. It is beautiful and romantic and a great sing-a-long which is one of the reasons it was so popular in among Irish bands in the 60s and on until today.
The Leprechaun
"The Leprechaun" is an original song I wrote on St Patrick's Day in 2001. It's a goofy, fun sing-a-long that's really popular among kids of all ages.
The Parting Glass
One of the classic Irish drinking songs and Irish songs of parting. You might remember it from that wonderful movie, Waking Ned Devine. Here, I sing it like it might be sung in a traditional pub setting, a cappella.
Happy Birthday from Ireland
I wrote this song alongside "The Leprechaun". It started as a birthday wish to a St Patrick's Day baby. Soon it evolved into a classic birthday song for anyone who is displaced from Ireland.
and now for something completely different...
Wild Kitty (parody of Wild Rover)
The first of my Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers . This cat song is based on the Irish folk song " Wild Rover". This song tells of cat who is out searching for food, but instead just finds himself with drinking problem. The chorus is incredible fun!
When Kitty Eyes Are Smiling (parody of When Irish Eyes Are Smiling)
This cat song is based on the Irish American folk song and St Patrick's Day song favorite, "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling". The songs is a joyful look at the playful and sometimes distructive, but always sweet nature of cats. Look for it on my Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers CD.
Lord of the Pounce (parody of Lord of the Dance)
This parody of "Lord of the Dance" was inspired by my friend, Pam Owens, known as Mother Pockets. I thought her idea of "Lord of the Pounce" was easy to parody for my Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers CD. And it was. But as I was studying the different lyrics, I realized there was a great "circle of life" story that could be told.
Domesticated cats have been a part of our human culture for centuries. So I decided to make this song tell the story of cats as a part of the human experience, but with heavenly beginnings that will never end.
Furagone's Wake (parody of Finnegan's Wake)
Based on the Irish folk song, "Finnegan's Wake", this cat song tells the story of a Sphynx Cat who loses his ninth life. His fellow cats gather for a wake that turns into one big cat fight. Look for it on my Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers CD. |
