Discovered this band the old-fashioned way: Went to pick up medical weed for my wife, this band's version of "Drunken Sailor" was playing on the sound system, and one Shazam later, I knew who it was and was following them.

Father Ted - My Lovely Horse

One of the greatest Irish songs ever

41 sats \ 1 reply \ @justanumber OP 17 Mar

This episode of Father Ted is brilliant. Of course, making fun of the the fact that Ireland kept winning the Eurovision and didn't want to keep footing the bill. It always brings me back to the iconic year when Johnny Logan won in 1987 with Hold Me Now. Everyone in our household was sitting on the edge our our seats that year!

Eurovision is just such a laugh. Sure it's political and a total mess... But it's just crazy fun. I'll never forget Lordi - Hard Rock Hallelujah. Just insanely hilarious. https://youtu.be/gAh9NRGNhUU?si=oFprg6zvVWHD7-rt

That main riff... Sounds sooo much like "Lick it up" by Kiss.

I'd not heard No Sweat before and I do love my 80s hair metal, so I'm glad you've sent them my way 👊

UI hope you enjoy their one and only album 😥 (link below). They were one of those blink and you'll miss them bands of the early '90s that were just starting out as the whole rock scene was about to go grunge, Kiss of the gypsy was another that would go the same way. Not big enough to weather the changing musical tide. Funnily enough, one Mr Joe Elliot was producer for the No Sweat album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9XgPL7BWBo

I have to confess, I used to listen to Terry's dulcet tones on bbc Radio2 many years ago - way before I was "old enough" to listen to that station (and Terry) 🤣🤣

I grew up on BBC R2. It was always on in the house. Mum had the radio going permanently, if her or dad wasn't playing a specific record then R2 was on. I grew up on Wogan, Steve Wright etc. let's face it R2 has always just been the better station.
