Let’s go with Metallica’s excellent version of the Irish folk song, “Whiskey in the Jar.”

Interesting history of the song at Wikipedia.

You sure its not just for the girl-on-girl action and righteous binge drinking, is it?

This is a good song selection — although, in my opinion, you should have gone with Thin Lizzy’s version, rather than Metallica’s cover of the same.

It must be said that I write as an incorrigible Thin Lizzy fanatic.

Ah, Metallica did put together one of the greatest videos of all time with this cover. :)

Of course it’s been all downhill for them since Jason Newsted left.
