    Got word of this a few days ago from a friend of mine who does some work for a tv production co. - I want it to be true..



    Press Release 6thMarch 2006


    ‘The Foolsboy of Glanmire’


    Following on from the success of similar recent programming by RTE2, a new fictional comedy series has finished production charting the progress of a young Irish traveller from a halting site in Galway city to a detention centre in Glanmire.

    RTE are proud to announce that writers from the hit US comedy ‘Fresh Prince of Bel Air’ have agreed to be script consultants for the first and second series. The original pilot will be aired on Friday 7th April 2006, with the series commencing proper on Friday 21st April.

    The theme tune will be familiar to many, as it is a homage to the aforementioned ‘Fresh Prince’ series. RTE are delighted to announce that permission has also been granted to use the original DJ ‘Jazzy Jeff’ backing track over the new lyrics, penned by Mario Rosenstock.



    Now this is a story all about how
    my life got changed by a miserable cow
    And if you plank yerself down
    or pull up a chair
    I’ll tell you how I became the foolsboy
    of a town called Glanmire

    I’m a West Galway City boy
    born and raised
    On the scratcher is how I spent
    most of my days

    Chillin’ out back and
    relaxin’ with the boys and takin’
    the piss outta buffers
    who be catchin’ my eye

    When a fool of a social
    worker up to no good
    tried to put me on a fas
    scheme in my neighbourhood

    I pucked her one little jab
    and the beuer got scared
    She said ‘You’re moving out of this place
    and going off into care’

    The shades picked me up when the time came near
    They had the siren on so all my neighbours could hear
    Tell ya something for nawthin’ sham this isn’t rare
    But I thought ‘nah forget it.
    bring on the Glanmire!’

    We pulled up to the gaff about 7 or 8
    and I yelled to the gomies
    ‘Alright boys, seeya later!’
    Looked at my Kingdom I was finally there
    to sit on my hole, the foolsboy of Glanmire.
