Just heard "Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah" on NBC for a trailer for "The 5-year engagement" - made my day. :D

It's in heavy rotation all around the dial.....I've seen it during NFL games, sitcoms, of course the NHL...many different networks. I'd attribute it to the season(s) (winter/hockey) being key.

Three boys in green jerseys, with red hair and typical Irish physiognomies, playing hockey (which is about as close to hurling as you get in America), falling over themselves, brawling with other kids, being unceremoniously removed from the 'rink' by the 'ref,' and thrown in the 'penalty box,' upon getting out, passed out and piled in the back of a car, all the while the Pogues playing in the background . . . some sort of connection here I can't quite put my finger on. :roll:

You do that, you go to the box, you know. Two minutes, by yourself, you know and you feel shame, you know. And then you get free Denis Lemieux

Just some words of advice for the three young hockey players from Slapshot

The great Parting Glass site offers this: "According to sailing legend, a man overboard would come to the surface three times before succumbing and drowning."
But what it can mean in connection with subarus I better don't imagine... ;)


Nothing to do with the three boys in the car????? :?

I believe it is that or referencing the Irish tricolor. :)

If it makes you feel any better it's unlikely that Shane or anyone else in the band had anything to do with this (or the prior use of a Pogues song in a Cadillac ad). And the Pogues are (probably) getting licensing fees for its use. Surely you don't begrudge the Pogues making a living from their work?



I'd be interested to hear if they approve though ... certainly the ad folks had never read the lyrics

after seeing that commercial, I would probably go out and buy the song (if I didn't already have it), not the car!
