Last year, anonymous posted a mash-up of "Whiskey in the Jar" (The Dubliners/The Pogues) with "It's Tricky" (by Run DMC), and I'll have to say that those two songs goes together quite well!
So, "Whiskey in the Jar" is a very well-known Irish traditional song about a highwayman, who eventually was betrayed by his Jenny, or Molly, depending on the version of the song being sung.
Quite a few people have covered this song, including a very curious metallized version by Metallica (it's actually quite good!). Got to love their pronunciation of "jar-ar-oh". Must be heard to be believed.
Postens Dramatiske Selskab or PDS remade this song as "Svikefulle Mari", only it's entirely in Norwegian. I quite like this version, they seem like a pretty fun bunch from their world travel photographs. You can download this song on their website.
Please note: this song is best performed live - especially during the singalong chorus:
Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy 'ol
Whack for the daddy 'ol
There's whiskey in the jar
Enjoy this cover lover post.... with a pint.
