*no cheating*

You know I smoke a lot of grass,
and I pop a lot of pills
but I aint never done nothin'
that my spirit couldn't kill.

And I wah-halk arou-hound
with these tombstones in my eyes
but you know the pusher dont care
if you live or if you die-hie

and I say Goddamn
Goddamn that bible pushin man

is it country?

no I think it might be considered folk though

i'm no good with that stuff

Can you give me another hint?

ironically enough (from reading the lyrics above) - the singer died of a heroin overdose

I give up

Are you sure?

Oh well it was worth a guess

folk and B M.... Black Monday pops into my head

Steppenwolf?

Steppenwolf?

actually I think the original song was by steppenwolf (although I am not sure). so you win a monica lewinsky cigar for that.

Of course it was Steppinwolf,don't set a question if you don't know the answer.

Can I do one? If so.

We were the Kings of It all
The day we were born
We were the Kings of the Kilburn High

And for the original

Bob Marley

just a random guess

Of course it was Steppinwolf,don't set a question if you don't know the answer.

no, I am speaking of the artist who did the cover... if you look at the lyics, they are different from the steppenwolf version. So I dont need to know the entire history of the song to ask this question thank you very much.

Can I do one? If so.

We were the Kings of It all
The day we were done
We were the Kings of the Kilburn High

And for the original

Bob Marley

just a random guess

Flogging Molly

The Pusher by Steppenwolf

Listening to it now.....

Album.... Drunken Lullabies?

Yes. It is Flogging Molly. Drunken Lullabies is correct.

Okay here's another one.

His friends assembled at the Wake when Mrs. (left blank for reason) called for lunch.
First she brought out tea and cake then pipes tobacco and whiskey punch.

Name one of the lesser known bands that did it.

Crap didn't read this... :p

Easy one (if it's "lesser known" enough): Dropkick Murphys

Also done by the Dubliners and just about ever other (semi) Irish band
I like the DM version though :)

The song is Tim Finnigan's wake

The Dropkick Murphy's version is the best well known. I was thinking Waxies Dargle or some other tiny Irish band.

As I was roving over the Pocket Kerry Mountains
I met Captain Ferrel and his money he was countin'
I first produced me rapier next produced me pistol
saying Stand and deliver for ye are a bold deceiver.

I really want to see if anyone can get that one.

I'll go for the obviously wrong one so no-one else has the idiocy of doing it.
Stand and Deliver - Adam and the Ants.


No, don't laugh, notice the intelligent way around that. If I am wrong, I was actually laughing at the prospect of it being that song. If I am right (minutest possibility ever imaginable) I have made it look as though I was joking around. Its a win-win.

Anyways, can I add my own?

No-one shall get this. It is off an obscure album (in some people's eyes) and you can't really tell some of their lyrics anyway :D :D :D

well for a start its an old Irish song

Metallica covered it - Whiskey in the Jar
as did thin lizzy

The Metallica version was fucked up. But Thin Lizzy did one hell of a job.

There were three old gypsies at the Earl Hall door.
Dicken, Prave, and Bolio.
One sang high and the other sang low and the other sang a raggle taggle gypsie-o.
Upstairs downstairs a lady went clad in a suit of leather-o.

Come on let's see what you've got.

And Tribes of Longton I have no clue. Floggin' Molly? That's pretty much my answer to everything and it sounds like them.

"Kill 'Em All" by Metallica is hardly an obscure album.
