Finnegan's Wake (song request for @customnature)
Happy Freakin' Monday Steemit!
@customnature asked for this song, which I was excited to learn.
It was written sometime in the 1850's.
This is a song that I've heard literally hundreds of times at the pubs, but have never played before.
As it turns out, the song is amazingly fun to sing.
"A row and a ruction soon began" and "Trotters shake" are some of the funnest things to say.
The very end comes from a local band in Minneapolis that stained my brain with their version.
I literally can't play it without doing the 'shave and a haircut' part, but it's funny so there it is.
Happy April:D
Holy shit, this is fantastic! Thanks for indulging me once again. haha I'll stump you one of these times!
I'm glad you liked it! It was super fun to sing:D
Ha! This is awesome! I’ve never heard this one before :)
It's an Irish Pub staple. I may have been in the only pub band that didn't play this song.
We also didn't do Whiskey in the Jar.
