Description

This Irish song illustrates a ship sinking that has endless amounts of alcohol on it. The ship has crooked messed up teeth and a huge ear to represent Pogues. The song talks about “seven million barrels of porter” so the ship pours beer into the ship’s mouth and splashes everywhere. This is also a drinking song so of course beer splashing everywhere is necessary. The lyrics chosen are the “Last of the Irish Rover” because this is the last line and has the most meaning. This is also why the ship only represents one person instead of many people drinking.
