VIDEO: ‘The Shane Long Song’ features the greatest dancing auld lad in Ireland

JOE

Green piece…

‘The Shane Long Song’ may be Euro Song No. 4725 you’ve heard in the build-up to this year’s tournament, but it’s still worth wrapping your patriotic ear-holes around.

Even more importantly, if you download the song from iTunes for just €0.99, all proceeds will go to the Dublin Simon Community.

Plus, it features one of the greatest dancing auld lads in Ireland.

Here’s what the band, the familiar-looking Martin’s Men, had to say about the toe-tapping tune…

We are Martin’s Men, a boisterous 11-piece collective of spirited, Irish team-loving musicians who got together to create this anthem for The Green Army’s Euro 2016 adventure.

By releasing ‘The Shane Long Song’, we hope to raise awareness and much-needed funds for the great work done by the Dublin Simon Community. Lest we forget that we have a real problem on our streets at home, with so many people going through some absolutely horrific experiences every moment of the day.

So let’s lift the spirits of a nation! Let’s help restore some pride in our sense of identity! Let’s get the whole country singing ‘The Shane Long Song’.

‘MON IRELAND!!!

We couldn’t have put it better ourselves. Just check out those moves…
