Some More Irish Music Genres

So there’s about half a dozen posts floating around about how WEIRD Irish music is, but I thought I’d add my own, based pretty much on my Pandora list this evening:

“Being on a Boat sucks, I wish I was getting laid on land.”
“Being on land is boring and expensive, I wish I was on a boat”
“I robbed a military officer but my girlfriend snitched on me and Now maybe my military brother will leave his job and we can be terrorists together”
“Badly Injured Man Not Done Partying Yet”
“Being poor sucks but at least sex sells?”
INTENSE VIOLIN MOMENT
“Is grandpa dead or drunk? Who cares, lets solve all the family issues with a fistfight”
“Oh God Why Did I Ever Move To Nova Scotia”
“Oh no, this woman I was planning on knocking up and abandoning has tricked me out of my wealth and reputation”
INTENSE PENNY WHISTLE MOMENT
“My crush doesn’t love me back so I’m going to go die in India”
“I LIED, INDIA IS AWESOME”
“My most Memorable Barfights”
“I left everyone I loved to go to America for a better life but apparently this is where Britain sent all their assholes”
“Ireland is so beautiful, shame about those assholes next door.”
“Alas I did not trick that handsome asshole out of his wealth before he left me pregnant”
LISTEN TO HOW FAST I CAN FIDDLE
“Hey let’s all grab various sharp objects and overthrow the British”
“Whaling was a poor career choice”
“Poaching was also a poor career choice”
“Lets get wasted and try to sing tongue twisters”
“Let’s all get drunk in general”
let’s have a slow flute number about sunsets or butterflies I LIED IT’S ANOTHER JIG
“Love song for a specific beach”
“Paddy Fucks Up”
“Hard labor sucks, I wish I was unemployed”
“Being unemployed is AWESOME exceptforthepartwhereyoudieofstarvationbutthat’snotimportantrightnow”
“Don’t worry! It’s only me Sexy Stranger and Possible escaped Lunatic lurking in your barn! We should bone!”
FIDDLIN’ LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER UP IN THIS BITCH
“…But will she bone me if I dress like a hobo?”

MORE, BECAUSE IRISH (and scottish) MUSIC IS BATSHIT INSANE:

“Our TOTALLY REAL Kickass Boat With An Amazing Cargo That You Can’t See Because We Sank It”
“I Didn’t Shoot The Sheriff, But I Totally Boned His Wife”
“Oh Fuck That Handsome Stranger I Boned was A Close Relative”
“Hey pretty lady, wanna date?/No, i am mourning my dead boyfriend/HAH! Good Answer, because I AM your alleged dead boyfriend!”
“I love my boyfriend even though his parents are jackholes that literally had me committed”
BEAUTIFUL MOURNFUL PIPES BALLAD MEANT TO BE HEARD FROM SIX MILES AWAY THROUGH THE MIST BUT THAT PEOPLE INSIST ON PLAYING UP-CLOSE FOR SOME REASON.
“My husband was literally dragged off by that army while he was taking my virginity so I’m fucking off to the wood forever”
“Shit, this chick is hot, I’ll stalk her around the city”
“Why doesn’t my crush like me I am a Totally Nice Artsy Deep Guy?”
“Hump te diddle whack fal te raa- ok I admit it i forgot the words”
BODHRAN SOLO
“Life sucks, everyone is dead, I’m gonna get drunk and go get a sucky job, hate that one, get another sucky one, and wish I was back where I came from.”
“I saw this hot chick for like four seconds so I’m going to give up farming and work on seducing her full-time”
“Sailing was a poor career choice”
“Quarry work was a Poor career choice”
“The Army was a poor career choice”
“I didn’t want to be a shepherd but turns out this job doesn’t suck???”
“Let’s go to the magical land of faeries oh shit i didn’t count on spacetime anomalies”

im putting together a couple of scottish folk mixes bc that’s what i do and im honestly curious if anyone in my country has ever been unequivocally happy about anything ever

scottish trad music genres:

Everyone I Love Is Dead
The English Have Stolen All My Sheep

plaidadder

We have of course the traditional Irish music genres to go with them:

* Everyone I Love Is An Allegorical Representation of Ireland

* The English Stole My Farm And Put Sheep On It

* You Were My Boyfriend But Now You Won’t Even Come To The Window To Look Upon Me And Our Dead Infant Child (In The Rain)

* Whack Fol Too La Roo Umptytiddly Good They’ve Stopped Listening Now Let’s Talk About Revolution

* Something In Irish, I Think It’s About Fairies, Or Maybe A Cow

oooo can I add to this? don’t forget Appalachian folk balladry, the American cousin of Scottish and Irish traditional music and just as uplifting as its Anglo-Saxon highland forbears!!!

genres include:

I Left Everyone I Love Back Home In The Holler To Be With This Guy Who Doesn’t Wear Shoes Or Have Teeth But He Plays A Mean Jug
The English Told Us Not To Move West Yet, We Ignored Them, My Entire Family Was Killed
You Were My Boyfriend But You Tied A Sack Of Rocks To My Petticoats And Threw Me In The Creek (And My Baby Too)
Mama Loves All 14 Of Us A Lot But She’s Weary Of Our Shit And Now She’s Dyin’ (Gather Round)
The McCleans Stole A Firewood Log From Our Pile So We Won’t Rest Until The Last Of Their Male Kin Is Laid In The Cold Ground
We Knew The River Would Rise But We Still Didn’t Fix The Levee
The River Rose, The Levee Broke, Everyone Died, It Was Just As We Reckoned (dulcimer twang-a-lang)
When The Rebels Come A-Marchin’ I’m A Southern Man And I Feed Their Horses My Best, When The Yankees Come A-Marchin’ I’m A Northern Man And I Feed Their Horses What The Rebels Left
The Tennessee Valley Authority Killed All My Sheep Somehow

Don’t forget that old standby “The Mine Collapsed and Everyone Died”!

I think someone needs to put in a word for the English folk tradition though:

I Met a Girl and We Went Hunting (It Was a Metaphor for Sex)
I Met a Girl and We Caught Some Birds (It Was a Metaphor for Sex)
I Met a Girl and We Found Her Lost Pet (It Was a Metaphor for Sex)
I Met a Girl By Staying At Her Parents’ House and She Made My Bed (It Was an Especially Thinly-Veiled Metaphor for Sex)
I Am a Girl and I Regret Engaging In Metaphors for Sex Because Now I’m Pregnant
I Met a Girl and Bribed Her Into Sex But She Stole My Horse and Ran Away With It
I Met a Girl At an Inn and We Had Non-Metaphorical Sex But She Stole My Stuff The Next Morning and Now I Have Syphilis
Your Fiance Died Either at Trafalgar or Waterloo, Let’s Get Married, I’m Glad You Said No Because I’m Really Him In Disguise
Lord Nelson Sure Was Awesome
The Press-Gang Dragged Off All the Important Men in My Life (And Now They Are Dead)
Farm Laborers Are The Salt of the Earth And Are Never Grindingly Poor
