"That's what you call a 'moving song!'"

Sean explains exactly what a 'moving song' is.

鈥淭his is a moving song,鈥� says Sean. He鈥檚 talking about Joe Dolan singing Danny Boy. He explains: 鈥淭his is a song that was a very popular song at the dances. It was one for the moment a fellow sees a girl, and he wants to leave her home. So a moving song was the song the fellows wanted to move on. And of course you were roaring, singing, into the girl鈥檚 ear. And then you had the audacity to ask the girl, 'Can I leave you home?' after blowing her eardrum away." With music from Wilson Pickett, The Bangles, the Bay City Rollers, and more (including one from Joe Dolan).
