Prithee, I beg your attention a moment. I did not slur all Irish folk music as being pulled from the sad sack. I believe I said that only of Irish love songs. Give a listen to this drinking song, which for the record is not a love song:

You should check out Gaelic Storm’s “What’s the Rumpus?” and “Don’t Let the Truth Get in the Way of a Good Story” which are neither sad NOR drinking songs! But these guys on the whole are pretty fun anyway. “Darcy’s Donkey” and “The Night I Punched Russell Crowe” are a lot of fun too. One of my favorite albums!
I heard “The Night I Punched Russell Crowe” after finding this video. Terrific.
I think that, technically, when you’re talking about Irish music, the drinking song is classified as a subcategory of love songs.
Ha! I cannot deny the truth of that.
