Laura by Bat for Lashes was the first song.
Perfect song for the topic.

Claire Daily a "United Left Alliance" TD. Then she discovered love across the political divide with a capitalist developer.

She's made millions off it.

Forgotten about this song that sounds like Joe Dolan singing Twinkle twinkle little star.

Next few episodes will be tough for Mayo fans.

Mrs Brown's Boys won a bafta. I must have blocked that one out.

Such an amazing olympics from start to finish.

Thought they did a bad job of that episode.

Given what was included this time and excluded last time, it underlines the fact that 2011 was a busy year.

Great to see camogie and ladies football included. Hope to see the Irish Ladies Rugby team included in the coming weeks too.

Delighted Bat For Lashes got in but I imagine most won't have a clue who she is

It wasn't first though as there was some song about rockets and stuff first

I was hooked from the opening ceremony. Was the first time I think I was ever happy for English sports people even Bradley Wiggins who I can't stand

For me the high point of the Olympics was this.

I think you mean Starships by Nicki Minaj. That song was massive that year.
I was working in a community centre that year so was exposed to chart radio so I actually recognised some of the music this episode!

I actually think the production is sloppy this series. It seems very disjointed much of the time.

No, Bat For Lashes was in there too. I've heard of her but not that familiar with her music. Had never heard of the Lisa Hannigan or Little Green Cars songs either.

Yes, I know that.
Read the post I quoted.
That Little Green Cars song was a huge hit.

I think "huge hit" is a stretch, it didn't chart within the top 50 here. Perhaps it was played on the radio a lot though.


Good episode this week, but Adele's 'Set Fire To The Rain' came out out in 2011 as opposed to 2012. Sorry I had to say it

Billy Ocean

Plenty of obscure music choices tonight, good to see camogie and ladies football finals included but i suspect they were edited in at the last minute after there exclusion from the previous 2 episodes was mentioned on social media and i think in a letter to the Irish independent.

I wonder if Sandy Hook will get a mention though. As horrific as it was, in an American context it was just another in a long line of needless shootings. Nothing was different after Sandy Hook, it wasn't a catalyst for change and had no long term implications, so I wouldn't blame them if they chose to leave it out.

So it did.

Christ, Obama's emotion in his speech afterwards really strikes a chord.

There's no way his successor would show such a human side.

I enjoyed the last two, but tonight's was dreadful.

Had you really never heard of Starships, though?

Guess Nova must have played Little Green Cars to death. I really don't enjoy them but it would explain why I know the song so well.

I do know the Nicki Minaj one. It's the Lisa Hannigan and Little Green Cars song I said I'd never heard of. Think wires are getting crossed here.

Nah you told me the Nicki Minaj song wasn't on it. It definitely was.

Whoever picks the music definitely has a sense of humour, I remember 'Take A Chance On Me' playing when there was a proposed nuclear plant and 'One Day At A Time Sweet Jesus' when Ian Paisley visited Dublin in the same seventies episode.

Also 'Complicated' by Avril Lavigne playing over the Saipan footage was an inspired choice.

That was always the point. It was never about playing the years top 10

I didn't? I'm well aware of the Nicki Minaj song, and it's inclusion in this episode. It was the very first song in tonight's episode.

I'm surprised nobody commented during the 2010 episode when the play CeeLo Green's 'F*ck You' over footage of Brian Cowen :pac:

The tone of the obviously a factor too, imagine they played 1 of Rihanna songs Rude Boy or S&M in the last 2 episodes 😅😅

Well ya some of the songs were very popular but still usually fit the mood. The only song/band I honestly never heard before was Little Green Cars:John Wayne

Lovely song but I think "If You Tolerate This" by the Manic Street Preachers (which reached #1 that year) would have fit a bit better, what with its subject matter.

Funnily enough, Massive Attack have a remix of "If You Tolerate This".
