*What song are you listening to* thread!

I have two favorites, that were collaborations between the Dubliners and the Pogues.

The Irish Rover
The Mountain Dew.

The Irish Rover's awesome.

For a sailor, it's always a bother in life
He's so lonesome, by night and by day
That he longs for the shore, and a charming young whore
who'll melt all his troubles away

Oh, the noise, and the rout, swilling poteen and stout
For him, soon the torment's over
Of the love of a maid, he was never afraid
An old salt from the Irish Rover

That song kicks ass.

I got that song on "The Dubliners, the Ultimate Collection"

What was that song about, anyways?

I heard it over forty times,
and it seems like the moral of it is, don't trust women.
