Ahh, top of the morning to ya and a Happy St. Patty's day to ya! Usually I reserve St. Patrick's Day for one of the biggest in the world and Ireland native U2. But, I decided to do a little research into some other 80's Irish acts that made minor splashes here in the States. And, first up is this appropriate video by the hard rock band known as Mama's Boys. The Boys, from Northern Ireland, put together this remake of a 70's Slade song and garnered some decent airplay on MTV in 1984. Here are Mama's Boys with "Mama Weer All Crazee Now"...

Our second video of the day just missed the 80's by a few months, but it was a song written in the 80's by the one and only Prince. It's everyone's favorite bald, pope-picture-tearing Irish female named Sinead O'Connor with "Nothing Compares 2 U"... I went to the doctor and guess what he told me? Guess what he told me...
