+ Gallus Cowboy. What a performer. I think he beats (and there’s a maybe) Tom Petty. And I’m betting you that Tom Petty was Scotch Irish. Just to make it clear, I’m only speaking of the sound, not the lyrics. I have just recently discovered Mike Scott and what a pleasure. I started with “The Stolen Child”, by Yeats .How beautifully executed . I don’t really know about Tom Petty’s origin, it’s just that the sound is so familiar. I come from a region rich in the Scotch Irish. Think John Jacob Niles and Appalachia.

+The Scottish Cowboy, or is that the Irish Cowboy, the Gaelic Cowboy. Well, Mike is both an Irish rocker and a Scottish rocker if there ever was one. I wish I had discovered this band and this song before my half Irish husband died. I think he would have reveled in it, as any good Irishman would, even if sung by a Scots Man. Thank you for this music and performance.

WHY OH WHY do audiences for this song always go "Woo-hoo-hoo!" on all three choruses, when in fact it's just a single "woo!" the first two times and then a full "Woo-hoo-hoo!" the last time. It's supposed to be climactic, that's why he gives it the full monty on the final chorus. I don't know why this bugs me so much!!! Maybe cos I'm a musician and he recorded it that way (and still sings it that way) for a good structural reason. But people can't stop themselves going "Woo-hoo-hoo!" every single time. In fact every musician or band I've ever seen playing this song in pubs (and sometimes I've been a member of the band!) sing it that way too. Because they overlook the subtleties; which are what make good songs. They're diluting the effect can't they see?? Or rather hear...please someone tell me you agree! I can't be the only one...ok sorry, I'll go and lie down now...

Sounds like Bob Dylan :) I almost ALWAYS think "why not just listen to old Bob Dylan songs instead?" However, I can also see why people get influenced, or why others would want to write their own songs, plus I have a friend who plays or produces the water boys. I actually they thought they were easy listening or some pop band
