The Muppets take Danny (boy)

Rate: 6 Flag

For St. Patty's Day, my sister sent this version of "Danny Boy":

Hehehe. Brilliant.

But I could go to Irish Hell for that.

I'll take my chances.

I do love the song, though, and for a more earnest take, try the Pogues' version (try to ignore the visual commercial):

 
Their take might be heresy in some quarters, too, but it makes me ache.

Dave, I'm not seeing the links. Sounds like it would be funny though. :-)

Damn. Are the youtubes not embedded for you? They're showing up on screen for me.

Anyone else see / not see them?

Don't know how, but I managed to give you two ratings! (The luck of the Jewish, I guess. ;)

I see them now, Dave. I don't know what was wrong...probably my browser acting up.

I love the Muppets. :-)

I'm glad you guys enjoyed it as much as I did.

I'll send regards on to my little sister.

Dave, oh boy, we may all go to that Irish hell - for today, there is a wee bit of blarney in us all.

Rated for Muppet enjoyment

Omg How do you post a Youtube video? I have tinkering with OpenSalon to put a video on my blog posts but it doesn't work. If you or anyone can help me please tell me?

the Muppets' version made me laugh my ass off--I'm still giggling.

I almost said, Yah! aloud and woke the Kid when the two old men showed up. I love them.

O, i love the two old geezers, too. that topped it off.

crim, at the youtube page, copy the text in the "embed" box, then come back here, click the html button, and paste it in. (and i think don't paste it inside a paragraph.)
