Robbie_Turner Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Report in the Bristol Post, I had to check this wasn't dated 01/04/2015 !! An Irish folk band who performed at Barack Obama's Presidential Inauguration have written a song about Bristol City after being impressed by the team's style and flair. The Corrigan Brothers from Tipperary in Ireland have enjoyed hits all over the world such as the multi million you tube hit 'There's no one as Irish as Barack Obama' as well as performing at the Presidents Inauguration and they have now turned their attention to Bristol City. Singer and guitarist with the band Brian Corrigan said: "We love football and watch a lot of it. We watched the Robins defeat Swindon and really loved they style and flair. "We have watched them a few times this year and they play football exactly how it should be played. That's we wanted to celebrate them in song." The song is called 'They're Gonna be Champions At Ashton Gate' and uses the same melody as "There's no one as Irish as Barack Obama.' It will be released on April 21. Lyrics are : Lyrics They're Gonna be Champions at Ashton Gate chorus toor a loo toor a loo toor a loo its so great they're gonna be champions at Aston gate now there's something happening at the top of league one the Robins are leading while others look on they're going all the way there will be no slip the Robins are heading for the championship chorus oh what a season oh what a thrill win after win for Steve Cotterill wonderful football oh it has been great lets bounce round the ground at ashton gate chorus and maybe next year as the Robins press on to the Premier League its where they belong its time to believe and contemplate champion league football at ashton gate chorus repeat chorus repeat chorus Read more at http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Bristol-City-honoured-Irish-folk-band-fall-team-s/story-26317546-detail/story.html#gkgFGIRKSmkqXtFV.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
