Just Because I'm Irish

[@brettwalsh4515]

It’s almost unbelievable that Jonathan Richman lives with us on earth for now

[@vilepete]

You are so right! :)

[@Koshirozation]

this

[@livy1962]

Truer words was never spoke.

[@revjimbob]

I consider him a genius. Not many I use that term on.

[@papafico1402]

fr, it's so random

[@bighousegroove]

Came here for Jonathan, it took me a few years to fully appreciate what he does and it is so perfect and pure. That said, Julie is straight up adorable.

[@DanimationMovies]

Sometimes John’s music is so sweet and reassuring and innocent that it makes me cry

[@Radiobed]

this is the cutest goddamn thing i've ever seen

[@daverice2426]

Oh my God she's adorable (love Jonathan too)!; kinda reminds me of Mo Tucker singing "After Hours"

[@revjimbob]

I've had a bad hangover headache all day, and this has been a ray of light. Feel a lot better.

[@Whatnot]

Wow, thx for posting this. I haven't seen it in 20+ years. It's one of the finest moments in TV history, IMO. Hail Jonathan!

[@eddieburrelli]

This made my day (possibly my week).

[@andreasglumm]

Hail Jonathan Richman & Julia Sweeney! What a lovely Auftritt!

[@sh230968]

I did not have the slightest idea of Julia Sweeney. I know and love Jonathan Richman and Modern Lovers already. I am a little averse usually to stuff like the one presented here. But you know what, this sweet little piece is completely adorable.

[@seanshea8596]

Here's a great example of collaboration and how a great musician can put a beginning singer at ease and make them sound great.

November 5, 1993 Thanks!

[@itgoesto11]

One of the sweetest + cutest things on the whole internet.

[@Stephanlabize]

The sweetest thing ever

[@ddltrr]

Amazing. Thank you!

[@usernameirrelevant]

that is so cute

[@theunrealtimemm]

I adore Jonathan's voice and writing, but there's a certain irony in complaining one can't sing while sitting next to him. :)

[@squinkque]

What was I doing with my life?

[@billybobhorten1764]

She was in pulp fiction

[@ronan6544]

It's pronounced gall way 💁🇮🇪🍀

[@samuelkastin5643]

lame

[@idontknowoffiser]

Next you're gonna say it's spelled G-I-R-L-F-R-I-E-N-D

[@theunrealtimemm]

@@idontknowoffiser Or that Picasso and asshole don't rhyme (not even to mention Cleopatra and at-ra)

[@theunrealtimemm]

That might be kind of the point. Our narrator doesn't know Irish stuff.
