This song was and is amazingly popular at dances. Almost everyone would get up and dance to this song.

Hey there folks - more videos of The Irish Rovers on our youtube channel. Remembering this performance on Solid Gold, they wanted us to lip sync. We sang along anyway.

Yup me too except I was only 17 years old!

I just woke up about 30 min ago. After spending 12 hours at an Irish Pub for New Years. This song fits my situation.. lol

One of my ears loved this

Had this song memorised by age four and it was my favourite one to choose on our jukebox. The one I went to first every time.

Gee I had a lot of parties back in the day.if I had a penny for everytime I danced to this song I'd be rich.people don't know how to have parties like we did in those day..wasn't that a party?

I can't get this song out of my mind. I even tweeted it and the Rovers (blue check mark) liked my tweet. Lol. I remember first hearing it 40 years ago when I was a kid.

Ah this takes me back! Such fun memories from long ago. Saw these special guys at concerts, kitchen parties, even the World's Fair!

Woke up like this on New Years Day

I loved this song as a child and remember listening to it with my nana...when I didn't even know what whiskey was! LOL!

Kudos to whoever was in charge of the sound mix, it's great to be able to hear the bass so clearly.

Loved them when Jimmy Fergus on was alive

LOVE this recording of them! This song is a regular at our Christmas parties!

I had no idea that they appeared on Solid Gold. Oh wow.

Can you imagine the Solid Gold dancers saying "we're going to have to dance to what tonight?" Lol.

I would have enjoyed the Rovers’ song except that Dionne Warwick interrupted with her little spiel. Love that song anyway. Takes me back 40 years and then some.

this IS Canada...enough said!

Damn I thought Dionne Warwick was going to join in with them

Actually, you're both right - sort of. All of them were born in Northern Ireland and emigrated to Canada in the late '50s. In 1963 George Millar and Jimmy Ferguson met at an Irish social club in Toronto and soon decided to form a band, recruiting George's brother, Will, and their cousin, Joe - and later on Wilcil McDowell joined them. They eventually made Vancouver their home and base of operations.

My dad and I were actually singing this song the other day while washing dishes in my parents kitchen sink

Lip syncing was the norm on this show. Some did it well and some really sucked at it!

This guy did great!

I guess the sax player was too shy to appear on stage

The dancers are just NUTTY for this song!
