OK - there may be a lot less "jigging" going on in Dublin and New York during this draconian age of "coronavirus closures" (which appears about to decimate the entertainment and hospitality industry across the world), but nevertheless, it's traditionally the day for people to pretend they're Irish and to drink copious amounts of alcohol, and that's always welcome!
Here, to aid the celebrations is one of the Emerald Isle's finest fiddle bands, The Corrs:
...but, of course, we can never think of them without thinking of the French & Saunders version, can we?!
Sláinte!
Happy Paddy's Day.
Thanks for the introduction to The Corrs. And, oh Dawn French. I love that tiny cup of tea!
ReplyDeleteGosh, I never realised that The Corrs never "crossed the pond". I know French and Saunders are a bit of a mystery to the Yanks, so it's good to find one who appreciates their brilliance! Jx
DeleteI think we'll all be seeing more of French and Saunders in the coming weeks due to our usual BBC fare being suspended - not all bad then!

Just when they thought they could make money out of repeats via the "BritBox" service as well...
DeleteI used to quite like The Corrs but, as with many of their parodies (Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?, The Exorcist, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace etc. etc.), the French & Saunders version well and truly eclipses them.
ReplyDeleteSo very true - who can ever see that Björk video without thinking of Dawn French's inimitable version! Jx
