Have
you heard Broadmoor's answering machine? It says: "Welcome
to the Psychiatric Hotline. If you are obsessive-compulsive,
please press 1 repeatedly. If you are co-dependent, please
ask someone to press 2. If you have multiple personalities,
please press 3, 4, 5 and 6. If you have paranoid delusions,
we know who you are and what you want; just stay on the
line until we can trace your call. If you are schizophrenic,
listen carefully and a little voice will tell you which
number to press. If you are depressed, it doesn't matter
which number you press. No one will listen to your message."
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:
