Rubberbandits–Horse Outside

I love music. Rubberbandits are new to me. As an added bonus they are an Irish band. I’m Irish, well kind of anyway. My people came to America in the 19th century. I’m about 8 or 9 generations in on my mother’s side of the family, and 5 on my fathers. I’ve got some Italian mixed in too, but hey, red hair, freckles, I at least look the part.

Should be noted they're a comedy band, not to be taken seriously at all. But god we need some comedy in Ireland right now.

This song now #1 on Itunes and the YouTube video is getting close to 2million hits since uploaded only days ago.

Someone posted the lyrics and as it is 'Tis the Season of Mithraic Winter sharing .. am posting the lyrics link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flHvQyomFFw&fe...!

After reading the lyrics (with the song) it's even more fantastic (and stuck in my head all day)

That is great news. I bought it the day it dropped on iTunes.

They might be comedy, but they seem to be deadly good musicians (and dancers!). I have been listening non-stop to all the stuff of theirs I have been able to find on youtube for the past couple days, since I read a tweet that introduced them as Ireland's Die Antwoord, who I love. They are not quite the same as DA, but the Rubberbandits are equally badass...
