What brings this out is the song "The Night Pat Murphy Died," as performed by Great Big Sea on their album Road Rage. It's on my "Driving" mix on my iPod which I often listen to at work.
With lines like "Some of the boys got loaded drunk and they ain't been sober yet," and "All went in at half past eight and staggered out at noon," it revels in the Irish stereotype of heavy drinking all to good fun. I sometimes think that things would be a lot better in the world if people didn't take themselves so seriously.
