“St. Patrick’s Day… It’s the closest that the Irish will ever get to Christmas.”- Michael Scott, The Office
Hey, let’s celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with something other than “Jump Around” by House of Pain. How about Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops performing “The Irish Washerwoman”! (From Wikipedia: The Irish Washerwoman is a traditional and well known Irish jig. It repeats its refrain several times, sometimes by gradually increasing in tempo until being played very fast before coming to a sudden stop. The song has lyrics, but is typically rendered as an instrumental.) A live recording from 1966.
