(1) vocals by Terry Woods

(2) vocals by Spider Stacy

(3) instrumental, dedicated by Spider to Louise, his fiancee; he said that they are getting married this Sunday, the 15th, in Las Vegas

(4) vocals by Philip Chevron

(5) dedicated to Victoria by Shane; we didn't really get to hear Tweedy sing it at the basement show (not without some heinous "backing" vocals), but this is the real deal anyway

(6) with Ella Finer: I didn't know who she was until I googled this morning, and was pleased to find out she's Jem Finer's daughter; she did an admirable job (no one will ever replace Kirsty MacColl), and even managed to carry off a waltz with Shane with some dignity

You ever hear the Ted Leo/Pharmacists version? It's pretty cool too. The Pogues version is definitely the real deal, though.

Ha, you quoted the one line of my post that I was editing at that exact moment!

 

Never heard the Ted Leo version, but I'm always open to new interpretations. :) I will say that The Pogues' Irish Rover is one of theirs that isn't the real deal, not without The Dubliners singing/playing along with them, anyway.
