    I think the tune is some kind of remix of seven drunken nights by the Dubliners, but I’m not sure. It´s not the version by the dubliners because that one is too slow. I’ve found a version with flogging molly, but that one also too slow. A part of the lyrics goes; ....you’re drunk you’re drunk you’re silly old fool still you cannot see.............a hundred miles or more........

    A friend of mine said it’s completely new and was released in May 2004 but I’m sure he is wrong. It has been played in pubs (I don’t think this version is played in pubs with traditional music) in Ennis and Dublin as far as I know, but since everyone starts to sing when they hear it, it’s probably played all over Ireland.
    The song is really really fast and I love it.
    I just want to know if it is the seven drunken nights and what artist. Or if I’m wrong, what the **** it is I’m looking for.

    thanks a million// elin

    Could be just the same tune speeded up, sometimes the Dubliners play it fast.

    I too have heard this fast seven drunken nights while i was on holiday in ibiza with a group of friends. We liked it so much that we decided 2 adopt it as our holiday song. but now we are home and can't find it anywhere.

    Did you find it or has anyone else found it?

    Thanx Chris
