Well, get ready to shake your shamrocks. If you ain’t seen Celtic Thunder’s rendition of “A Place in the Choir,” you’re missing out on more fun than a barrel of leprechauns. This toe-tapping ditty from their “Heritage” album is catchier than the common cold at an Irish wake.
Five dashing lads in waistcoats and suspenders, belting out a tune that’ll have you jigging faster than you can say “top o’ the mornin’.” It’s like someone took all the charm of the Emerald Isle, bottled it up, and poured it over these fellas like maple syrup on a stack of pancakes.
Now, 2011 might seem like yesterday to some of us old-timers, but let me tell you, this performance is aging better than a fine Irish whiskey. The lads harmonize tighter than your gran’s tupperware, and when young Damian McGinty drops that bass line, well, it’s deeper than the Loch Ness Monster’s belly button.
It’s a menagerie of musical magic, I tell ya!
You’ll be grinning wider than a Cheshire cat on St. Paddy’s Day when you see the video below. It’s got more animal sounds than Old MacDonald’s farm and more rhythm than a Irish stepdancing competition.
Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, I present to you Celtic Thunder!
Now, here’s a little tidbit that’ll knock your socks off: This song’s so catchy, it’s been used in schools to teach wee ones about animal sounds. Talk about educational entertainment!
So go on, give it a watch and share it with your friends. It’ll put a spring in your step and a song in your heart faster than you can say “Erin go Bragh!” Trust me, your ears will thank you, and your toes won’t stop tapping for days.
