[TOP NEWS]What about an irish song competition?[NUMERO UNO ARTICLE}
Releasethe Krakken
I dont want to criticize the MOC although the one contestant won because someone commented on her 1 song as a "nice song"
I mocked him and said Littlefishys last song was a "nice song"
But we continue to have low levels of inactivity on MOC articles.
So perhaps and Irish competition would draw more than 1 nice comment.
For example
is an irish tune with lyrics by an englishman
Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling,
It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow,
It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow,—
Oh Danny boy, Oh Danny Boy, I love you so!
But if you come, when all the flowers are dying,
And I am dead, as dead I well may be,
Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying,
And kneel and say an "Avé" there for me.
And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me,
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be,
For you will bend and tell me that you love me,
and I will sleep in peace until you come to me!
So perhaps we should just make it a broad category : all irish/irish american or irish british or irish/? artist and all versions of traditional irish song or songs considered to be irish.
this is 100% english
we may also allow lily allen songs because the krakken likes lily allen songs
this is something south african(english) so enjoy
and fianlly we end with one of the most popular irish acts ever

Could have put the Cranberres - Zombie in there. Isn't that a song of the Violence between UK and Ireland?
the wolfe tones is more about irish hating the british i guess

You can organise a irish song contest, or fund it in the MOC.
I enjoyed a lot the one is finishing now, so, why not? More constests, more activity, more fun!
Ps: I was going to share one of my favourites irish songs, but I´m gonna save it for the contest 😛
ok i will contact AC to set it up and fund it
Fine by me Krakken. I have felt we have gotten away from our eIrish roots lately.
An Irish song contest would help fix that.
How about a South African song contest?
you could do that as well but south african music is very language oriented - so you guys might not get most music listed. for example my language and most languages has far better descriptive words than the english language. voshaarnooi for example means girl with fox coloured hair. the real lion sleeps tonight is a reference to death not sleep. its a lot like dylan in his early days.
sorry about the repeat posts...I blame android
