For Paddy's Day

What with it being St Patrick’s Day why not celebrate it with some music from one of the finest bands to hail from the emerald isle. No I’m not talking about the multi-million selling supergroup U2. Or fellow Dubliners The Pogues with their fine punked up traditional music. Or My Bloody Valentine. Or The Cranberries.
Must be Thin Lizzy then? Na, not really my thing, ‘There’s gonna be a jailbreak somewhere in this town.’
Well I guess it’s going to be in the jail.
Maybe a band from Northern Ireland like The Undertones (Teenage Kicks was John Peels favourite song you know. Yes I do know. It‘s mentioned every time the song is played on the radio!). Or Ash their first album had some great songs like Girl From Mars, Angel Interceptor and Kung Fu. No then it must be Therapy? After all Troublegum is a great indie/metal record.
No the band in question is the only band who could fit Dostesvedy and Polish footballer Zbigniew Boniek into a line of a song about S & M sex.
Who have a song about Nottingham Forest striker Nigel Clough.
About Telling someone who talks too much to shut up.
About thanking the urinal makers Armitage Shanks.
About A fish who likes to rock ‘n’ roll.
About loosing your jumper at a disco.
About liking Japanese girls.
About a sheepdog.
I’m of course talking about Cork City’s finest, The Sultans of Ping FC.
