The greatest Kerry football song ever.

I had a summer job in a factory in Listowel when this came out, we had it on tape and it was played to death that summer and the following one. This is of course The Border Boys 'We Want the Sam Maguire', written to the music of Billy Joel's 'We Didn't Start the Fire'. I particularly love the lines about Donal Daly's fantastic work rate and Maurice Fitzgerald's injured toe and when it randomly breaks into 'The Rose of Tralee' towards the end.
