Hi,

I've been listening to the RTE Radio (the Irish channel), trying to pick up the sounds and accents of Irish - and they played a really awesome song which I've been trying to find ever since. The song was of course in Irish, and my knownledge of Irish being what it is, the only thing I managed to pick up was that the song made a very prominent use of the word "coconut" (well, I guess, it sounded like "chochonat" or something like that), about every other verse or so. Can anyone help me find it?

Amhrán an Chócónut

It's here -

Even though it says there that it's by Pádraig Ua Maoileoin, I think it was Johnny Chóil Mhaidhc that wrote it (but I could be totally wrong).

That PDF wouldn't load for me online but when I did "save as" and downloaded it I was able to see it.


The song is supposed to be here too, but again this isn't loading for me online, but it might for you -

By the way, here's a link to the song:

And here's a link to the song on YouTube:

A lot of innuendo there.

er … Ní thuigim, a Bhríd.

My parents didn't approve of the song. Maybe we were reading something into it that wasn't there.
