  • Lanigan's Ball (sometimes Lannigan's Ball ) is a popular traditional or folk Irish song which has been played throughout Ireland since at least the 1860s, and possibly much longer.
    • "Meelia murther" (or "milia murder" or "melia murdher" or! "millia… etc.) is just an Irish exclamation of surprise (as Gaeilge: "míle murdar", lit. ‘a thousand murders’, thus ‘horror of horrors!’)
    • The bodhrán is an Irish traditional frame drum, the "heartbit" of Irish music
    I've always been particularly fond of this song thanks to my dad :)
    Performed by Diarmuid O'Leary and the Bards

    I used to hear a similar version to this by the Bards on the radio here in Canada. It was so funny and I was dying to know what they were doing because there was all kinds of going on. Lots of fun.

      Na, match your own ways to the beat. Do it with rap, but not banging you head off the wall. Who knows. There are many ways to do it. Me I listen to many types of music, match the beat in different ways. Different people do their own ways. Think about it. My thoughts are different but I dont care I just do it staying outside the box. Look up that song. See what the canadian lad did, the American lady, the school and the union supporter did (just with an electric guitar, who I heard in preston UK a good few years ago)

    I used to dance to this with my French girlfriend at Arus Na Ghaelighe in Galway. I had two left feet and I didn't give a shit, I would leap around like an eejit all night long

    This is good. Funny.I first heard this about 15 years ago. And I think it was the Bards..studio recording. A little faster.Matt Judge, St. Louis, MO. USA

    • @oojudg3oo
      @oojudg3oo 6 лет назад +8

      No no. It wasn't the Bards. The voice in the one I heard back then was a little deeper. Faster..and the fiddle picked up in excitement as the song progressed. But the back n forth with the man and lady were identical. The words were. Some versions they're slightly different. And the gal sounded just like the gal in the other version :)
      Thanks.

    I feel like this is a popular song rich people would sing about the peasantry to say that poor people are inferior or something

    • @geroutathat
      @geroutathat 2 года назад +5

      Its likely written for and performed for working class people and is self deprecating humour. But these days you are probably correct in some areas this song is probably played as a drinking song by frat type people who while drinking listening to it, and believe the people depicted in the song are below them. So I get your point.
