Ireland’s World Cup song
What do you mean, they haven’t qualified yet
The Corrigan Brothers (Gerard, Brian and Donncha if you must know) made an indent into the world’s brow, when they popped up at Barack Obama’s inauguration with their song ‘There’s no one as Irish as Barack O’Bama.’ Well now they’re back back back, with a jaunty tune aimed at propelling the Irish into the 2010 World Cup.
Watch out for the reference to John O’Shea and Eamon Dunphy (after the latter described him as “not good enough” ahead of a United match) as well as the tremendous verse, “Sometimes we lack skill, Sometimes we lack speed. Who needs Stephen Ireland, Bring back Andy Reid.”
Thespoiler is a huge fan, and demand that if the Irish make it through, ‘Here’s to Trapatonni’ becomes the official FAI song. Altogether now – “Let’s take it to the French. Here’s to Trapatonni.”

it’s refreshing to see the collective spirit be so indominatable
the pompous sacrificed for unity
trap got it right
i never felt so happy in defeat
please let it raise our spirits to deal with the economic fiasco that will lose another generation of our precious resource our youth
