A
couple had been married for 25 years and was celebrating
the husband's 60th birthday.
During the party, a fairy appeared and said that because
they had been such a loving couple all those years, she
would give them one wish each.
The wife said, "We've been so poor all these years,
and I've never gotten to see the world. I wish we could
travel all over the world." The fairy waved her wand
and POOF! She had the tickets in her hand.
Next, it was the husband's turn. He paused for a moment,
and then said, "Well, I'd like to be married to a woman
30 years younger than me."
Yup. Barack Obama, 44th President of the good old
USA is as Irish as Bono. His great-great-grandfather came from Moneygall
in County Offaly.
To celebrate, we present the song 'There's No One as Irish as Barack Obama',
sung by Hardy Drew and the Nancy Boys. It became an instant big hit on
YouTube, getting nearly 400,000 views in the first two weeks.
The band have been invited to Washington DC by Irish American Democrats
to perform at Obama's inauguration party on 19th of Janurary 2009. Go
Irish!
So get practising! To help you out, here's the words
of the song:
