Spotify Wrapped Time!
Would you like to share your 1, 6, 25 and 99?
I very much would!
#1: The Barnyards of Delgaty - Noel McLoughlin
Well, I can drink and not be drunk
And I can fight and not be slain
I can lie wi' another man's wife
And aye be welcome to my ain...
It's so goddamn catchy. I think there was a day I literally listened to it on a loop for the entire eight hours I was at work.
My #1 song in 2019 was A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square - Rosemary Clooney
My #1 song in 2020 was Rainy Days and Mondays - The Carpenters
My #1 song in 2021 was Someone Else's Star - Bryan White
My #1 song in 2022 was Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me - Mel Carter
#6: St. Brendan's Fair Isle - The Irish Rovers
One night while the brethren were lying asleep
A great dragon rose up from under the deep
He thundered and lightninged and made a great din
He awakened St. Brendan and all of his men
The dragon came on with his mouth open wide
We threw in a cross and the great dragon died
We skinned him and cooked him and feasted awhile
We sailed for St. Brendan's fair isle, fair isle
We sailed for St. Brendan's fair isle...
I don't even know how I found this one, probably it was a recommendation for my Folk Songs playlist, but I love it.
My #6 song in 2019 was We Know the Way - Moana OST
My #6 song in 2020 was The Duck Tales Theme
My #6 song in 2021 was MOLLYMAUK - Kimber's Men
My #6 song in 2022 was The Chemical Worker's Song (Process Man) - Great Big Sea
#25: McPherson's Lament - Noel McLoughlin
Now some have come for to see me hang
And some to buy my fiddle
But before that I do part with her
I'll break it through the middle
So he took his fiddle in both his hands
And broke it o'er a stone
Sayin' there's no other hand shall play a peal
When I am dead and gone...
I swear there are songs on this list that aren't Celtic folk songs, you just happen to be hitting a bunch of them. XD
My #25 song in 2019 was I'm On Fire - Bruce Springsteen
My #25 song in 2020 was Mairi's Wedding/The Flowers of Edinborough - Seamus Kennedy
My #25 song in 2021 was This Is Not Over Yet - Parade Original Broadway Cast
My #25 song in 2022 was Belfast Mill - Seamus Kennedy
#99: Chicken On a Raft - Pyrates!
We kissed goodbye on a midnight bus
(Aye-o, chicken on a raft)
She didn't cry and she didn't fuss
(Aye-o, chicken on a raft)
Am I the one that she loves best
(Aye-o, chicken on a raft)
Or just a cuckoo in another man's nest?
(Aye-o, chicken on a raft)
Hey, chicken on a raft on a Monday morning
Oh, what a terrible sight to see
Dabtoes forward and the dustman aft
Sittin' there pickin' on a chicken on a raft...
This is the world's worst earworm. It is the clingiest of shanty-adjacent songs. It will never get out of your head. (I am shocked it's only 99 on the list.)
My #99 song in 2019 was It Must Be Love - Alan Jackson
My #99 song in 2020 was And Oh I Love You So - Raul Esparza and Madeline Lodge (no longer available on Spotify, sadly, so here's a YouTube link)
My #99 song in 2021 was Greenland Whale Fisheries - Peter, Paul, and Mary
My #99 song in 2022 was Seasons of the Heart - John Denver
Send me a number and I'll tell you what song it is on my Spotify Wrapped!

Guest host Ralph Miller III, who worked behind the scenes on Dream Warriors provides insights and many effects development photos that are shown in the YouTube version of the podcast. Post-recording, the crew wants to clarify that Kevin Yagher was responsible for the Freddy Snake, and Mark Shostrom was in charge of the Penelope Sudrow dummy that smashes into the Freddyvision TV.
With the success of A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987), following the critical failure of A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge (1985), New line Cinema firmly cemented Freddy Krueger and A Nightmare on Elm Street as one of the most iconic horror franchises of its time. Not only does Dream Warriors feature Robert Englund continuing to breathe both humor and fear into Freddy Krueger but also the return of both Heather Langenkamp and John Saxon from the original. The film also features Craig Wasson (Ghost Story) as the male lead and early film roles for Patricia Arquette and Larry Fishburne. Frank Darabont (The Mist) and Bruce Wagner join Wes Craven on scripting chores and Chuck Russell (The Blob, The Mask) directs while Angelo Badalamenti (Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet) provides the score – a winning combination of talent. Surely a Grue-Crew highly recommended selection with special effects by Greg Cannom, Doug Beswick, Mark Shostrom, Kevin Yagher, and more!
Be sure to check out the first time the 80s Grue-Crew took a dive into this film in February 2017, featuring Doc Rotten, Christopher G. Moore, and Thomas Mariani as the Grue-Crew. You can find it here: A NIGHTMARE ON ELMS STREET 3: DREAM WARRIORS (1987) — Episode 102
