THEY SENT ME TO HEAVEN!! | Reaction to Voiceplay - Whiskey In The Jar feat Omar Cardona

[@carolfranklin]

You never disappoint a great reaction as always. I've owned this song since Thin Lizzy recorded it in 1973 & this is the first time I've heard all the words properly!

[@bjspeck4337]

What a nice treatment of an old Irish song (nearly 400 yrs old). My great-uncle (Irishman) sang this when I was about 10. I thought he sang it to me, but I think he sang it to my dad (also half-Irish) who was in control of the bar in the house. Whiskey in the Jar!

[@Cpperk95]

They are so very talented. A rare group where the listener can understand every word of the song. It is especially amazing that Geoff can HUM distinct notes - easier to sing a note but to hum it clearly is amazing Great reaction

[@marge2548]

Yep, you are right. I have heard the song in several versions, but this was the first one where I understood more than parts of the lyrics.

[@Shermanite0623]

This is my first time hearing Voiceplay and I'm empressed! I'd like to hear a sing-off between them and Home Free.

[@scottboa2738]

This is incredible. I swear, Geoff can make a phone book sound evil. The harmonies are out of this world.

[@AcapellaAddict4Lyfe]

The amount of detail and musical insight you put into your reactions is what keep me coming back every single reaction.

[@AcapellaAddict4Lyfe]

I first heard this song from Thin Lizzy back in the 70's then discovered that it's a traditional Irish number, written I believe in the 16 or 1700's. Thin Lizzy seemed to rejig the lyrics from the traditional ones - I've always assumed it was to make it fit into the usual 3 minute (approx) length of singles back then. Metallica and VoicePlay have used those lyrics but Colm McGuinness has a version where he sings the original lyrics - well worth a listen.

[@parkerbrown-nesbit1747]

Colm's version is the way it should be sung. It's not a pop song!

[@laundrygoddess4]

I needed more ears to listen to this song. So many lovely things going on. I just love this lineup

[@rhov-anion]

Maybe because they're preparing for a show later this month, but this feels like something they can perform live, unlike many of their more recent songs that rely on post-production, vocal doubling, or morning voice subs. Don't get me wrong, Geoff's B0's send me to hell and raise me back up to heaven in 0.2 seconds, but he admits that's a rare thing that may take 60 tries. It's not something he could do at a concert. This felt like something that COULD be done live, just glorious harmonies and Omar sitting there like an angel masquerading as a choir boy.

[@christinestromberg4057]

I know the song from way back, from The Dubliners, and Thin Lizzy. This is certainly different. :)

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

every time I hear this I like it more ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@FriedBob]

It just dawned on me what I was missing from the lyrics - the line about not being able to shoot the water and the missing rapier after "shot him with barrels".

[@Traci2000]

Awesome reaction, Dave!! I very much enjoyed your commentary. This song is a real ear worm. A lot of people aren't liking it but it's one that can take some time for it to hit. When it does, though, wow. I love it now. ❤

[@ilonadever8249]

Great reaction, as always, Dave! I love the story-telling folk songs, and definitely love Voiceplay's version!

[@caitlinkavanagh3298]

Loved the reaction! I didn't know this song before VoicePlay graced us with it. I am such a fan now. Love it!

[@ruthwells9200]

Love both Voiceplay's and Celtic Thunders versions

[@rebekahw9505]

I just love your face. It makes me happy. ❤

[@ellyncarr3150]

I think my favorite part of the reaction had to be when you stopped to open a bill after Omar had his big moment! 😂😂😂 Awesome reaction as usual! ❤❤❤

[@ericturner7824]

Dave, Dave, Dave.....You have re-confirmed for me that Geoff="Stank Face"......Who else besides VoicePlay could turn a song about Lust, Love Robbery and Murder, and Prison..sound SO GOOD!?..>^^

[@RedPanda83]

It’s awesome your reaction has the same amount of likes as the official video

[@deniseduncan7363]

Have a great weekend!

[@Jennifer_J_C]

I've only ever heard the Thin Lizzy Version, but love this cover 😊

[@TheFox-qf7dz]

🤙

[@marge2548]

Nice reaction, as always. VoicePlays harmonies currently are so superb that by and large I am running out of adjectives to describe them. 😅

[@karenzak6627]

Great reaction, Dave. Thanks for doing this one. I think it beats the rendition I heard a number of years ago by The Irish Rovers (60 years old this year!). I know the VP members enjoyed producing it, too.

[@jayplayz355]

What it do homie

[@CrimFerret]

Great cover. It's still Thin Lizzie for me for this one.

[@Notmiddleg]

Geoff hit a F1 chest in this song

[@D.K.94]

👍🎶

[@margiestevens2384]

❤😂❤

[@neighbourlady]

Great reaction!! My first hearing of this song was Darby O'Gill with the traditional rendition and it is soo good! I had to go look and Metallica's version made this old gal cringe! (and I am an AC/DC fan!) Check out Darby for traditional - BUT I am amazed AND IN LOVE with VP doing this!!

[@barrywhite5532]

I loved when Metallica did this song

[@DanielDeLeon69]

[@janeteitsworth8824]

I love your reactions and I love Voiceplay but I don't like this song.
