1. My potatoes aren’t in the plate anymore.

2. My neighbor is a Protestant and God told me to kill him.

3. Off the top of my head:
   1. The Holy Ground
   2. Kilkelly, Ireland
   3. The Boys of the old Brigade, or come out ye black n Tans
   4. Whiskey you’re the devil
   5. Seven drunken nights
   6. Paddy’s green shamrock shore
   7. No Irish need apply
   8. Black Velvet band
   9. Oro Se do bheatha bhaile (too lazy to put in weird accents)

   Bonus category, I did shit now I’m shipped out to Australia: Fields of Athenry

4. #8 is Raglan Road

5. 7. The Old Bog Road.

   PS Also 2.

6. 7 is spancil hill

7. coming from a scot and a alcoholic (in recovery) that is rich

8. ” They are at it again”
   ” My Irish mammy ”
   ” Lads, lads”

9. Fairytale of New York is both 7 and 8

10. Maybe switch the order to make the drinking songs start after America

11. The first Irish songs that come to my mind do not fit into none of the above categories, lol

    Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye

    The Wild Rover

    Wild Frontier

12. Sorry but a cock shouting “Irlande douze pointe” is all I know about Irish music.

    Thanks to Irish and Montenegrian contribution of catchy horrible songs to Eurovision, few people remember how horrible we are at it.

13. Does the Wind that Shakes the Barley fit into any of these?

    I’d also like to add “aspirational songs about our national football team that are way better than they have any right to be”
