  1. Back when I was a musician and doing a lot of folk music events a few of us thought it would be funny if a dalek, a cyberman, and a mechanoid tried to record Danny Boy together. And since I'd just built a custom effects box that had everything you'd need to find out, well

    guess what I got reminded of last week

    so I dug it out and now you can "enjoy" Cyborgs Behaving Badly (Danny Boy), the from-behind-the-mixing-desk remix

    i either recommend for or strongly against headphones, depends upon how much you (dis)like your eardrums and/or housemates xD

  3. 1977 27th Lancers – Danny Boy

    Here is the 27th Lancers drum and bugle corps, featuring my Uncle Bruce in the snare line, in 1977 performing their classic closer, Danny Boy. ​

  4. Our #RemembranceDay events usually feature a choir singing the Flanders Fields poem. Sometimes 'Danny Boy' as well.

    Here's an audio recording I captured live a good 20yrs ago now. It's at the same location shared above, on a cool September evening. Even with a bit of wind noise, it gives me the chills to listen to it still.

  5. For someone like me who has a limited vocal range, trying to learn "Danny Boy" is the choice between sounding like a frog in the deeper parts of the song or breaking apart on the high point.

    Loads of fun, though, and an interesting, albeit confusing, story to that song.

  7. I guess you need to know your lyrics to get this one.

  8. Dear Americans, on #StPatricksDay, please remember that the song #DannyBoy is not an Irish song. The melody is, but the lyrics were written later by an Englishman. He never even visited Ireland. It would be rare to hear it played in any pub in Ireland, and probably mostly to appease American tourists.

    I mean the lyrics don’t even make total sense from an Irish point of view. Ireland isn’t particularly known for its mountains… The lyrics sound more like they would refer to Scotland.

  9. OK, this is the day of the year to post this gem: the Muppets sing Danny Boy. Be careful of the volume when you watch this. #Muppets #DannyBoy #BeakerContentWarning

  10. CW: CW for violence to the tune of Danny Boy

    In honour of St Patrick's Day, here's my favorite use of diegetic music in a movie:
