Spinal Tap Goes Celtic?

The ultimate parody heavy metal band Spinal Tap will release a new song called “Celtic Blues” soon.It will appear on their new album 'Back From The Dead' to be released on June 15, 2009.
Spinal Tap is the brainchild of comedians Harry Shearer, Christopher Guest and Michael McKean, who starred in 1984’s cult classic spoof rockumentary film This is Spinal Tap. In that movie, the band first showed their Celtic side on the song StoneHenge. The Celtic part starts at about 2:00 in. Hilarious!

Video - Wearing of the Green

The irish song known as "Wearing Of Green" is based on an older irish song know as the "The Rising Of the Moon". Same melody, different words.

Skyearth performs the song as an instrumental here, so you can sing whichever words you like!

The band takes this tune into several new musical passages, with soaring violin solos, toe-tapping drum and bodhran beats, and dueling guitar riffs.

Wearing of the Green-Guaranteed fun for Lords and Ladies alike!

Scotland The Brave

"Scotland the Brave -" is a rocking video of Steve Reel and The SkyEarth Orchestra performing in front of a very enthusiastic crowd during a concert in 2006. The medley includes, of course, Scotland the Brave, Drowsy Maggie, and Turkey in the Straw.
