This would go down a storm at eurovision

How long will it take for Universal Music to steal this song from these humble Irish farmers?

I have never seen anyone absolutely shred England so comprehensively

They do not get enough credit for those vocal harmonies

This isn't even comedy anymore, this a great modern trad song

Ireland haven’t won the Eurovision once since 1996. These guys should go there and perform this song to make history for the nation

Lyrics anyone? Well -At Brexit they got frustrated… -They did. -As it was dragged out and non-stop debated… -Ages. -So, we Irish we feel obligated -We do. -To explain to them one simple fact. That we don’t understand how the English can’t see… after all they’ve experienced colonially, The one thing that’s clear from their history Is that it’s hard to break free from a union. -It’s awful hard to break free from a union, lads! -That’s true. -Sure, wouldn’t we know all about that in our little country ? -We would indeed. In Ireland for hundreds of years we tried we even left, part of the country behind So, we can’t understand all the English surprise That it’s hard to break free from a union -What about India lads? -Oh, they had it tough. After 200 years being occupied The British they finally stepped aside When asked, Mahatmaaaaaaaa, Gandhi replieeeeeeeed “It is one of life’s undeniable facts” That it’s hard to break free from a union -What about the lads, down under? -Oh, the Australians? Separated by thousands of miles of sea They still have the queen on their currency It should have been… Crocodile Dun… Deeeeeee…. But it’s hard to break free from a union -and there was the Egyptians as well -Oh, sure that’s still going on. After 100 years of freedom Their shit is still in the British Museum Even Tutankhamun’s grandson… had to pay, into see hiiiiiiim. Cause it’s hard to break free from a union. -But sure, they weren’t the only countries lads in fairness -Oh no…. Botswana, Bahrain, Qatar, Nauru, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan too. Saint Kitts and Nevis, Seychelles, Palestine! Sri Lanka and Malta, all took their time, Myanmar, Mauritius, Lesotho, Kuwait, Kenya, Jordan, Iraq had to wait!! Guyana, Grenada, Fiji and Sudan Jamaica, Malawi took ages to plan -There’s loads more Johnny you are just going to have to speed her up!!! Brunei, Belize, Barbados, Bahamas Canada, Cyprus Dominica, Tonga South Africa, Solomon Islands Uganda Malaysia, Libya Kiribati and Ghana The Gambia, Yemen Tanzania, Tuvalu Zambia, Zimbabwe Maldives, Vanuatu Trinidad and Tobago Swaziland, and Saint Lucia UAE, USA Antigua and Barbuda Afghanistan, St Vincent’s and the Grenadines. Yeahhhh it’s Hard to break free from a union. -Oh, boys that’s one hell of a list. -Thanks be to God, for Wikipedia -Tin whistle solo! -Here we go! So, believe when we say that we know how you feel After trying for years to broker a deal. As the European Parliament slowly revealed: -Oh, we are going to make it very hard to break free from this union- Now we know it’s not our fight to fight And leave or remain well we don’t give a shite But it’s ruining the news every single night -Why lads? Cause, it’s Hard to break free from a union.

As a person from former USSR country (Belarus, that is), I can confirm that it is one hell of a feat to break free from a union.

Three Irish farmers. Track 1: The brexit song Track 2: The ryanair song Track 3: Jim Muhammad everyman’s campaign song Track 4: stairlift to heaven Track 5: Everything hurts ETC...

Tin whistle solo? **flashbacks to primary school**

A Czech magazine of the world literature (PLAV) just presented translation of this song in its latest England-dedicated issue and I just find that fact hilarious :D

As a Canadian it was my understanding that all we had to do was ask politely.

This song is amazingly choreographed you guys have some serious chemistry and style together. This is why Thursdays are fecking amazing. Keep up the good work

If anyone deserves to be on Australian currency, it’s Steve “The Crocodile Hunter” Irwin. Come to think of it, Steve Irwin should probably be on every countries money.

Irishmen have an uncanny ability to add a cheerful punch to anything, even something as dark as the era of colonialism. I loved this song❤

Top 3 rappers Eminem couldn't make a distrack on : 3 drunk farmers from an Irish pub

After Foil finished the list of countries I half expected Hog to say: "I think I will skip my turn." No idea why though.... Oh well every bloody time with this guy ;)

Jesus they went so fast Eminem got scared

I had this stuck in head all fecking day. Made the work meetings interesting. "Did you get sign-off on the update?" "It's hard to break free from a union." "What?" "What?" "..." "Tin whistle solo?"

“Hey everyone, we’re coming over to the UK...”

On behalf of all Australians, PUT CROCODILE DUNDEE ON THE $5 NOTE FOR GODS SAKE.

How come you can remember all those coumtries but you can't even remember your where your own tour is going!

As someone from India, I totally agree! Too dam hard! Took ages!This was just simply brilliant. I'll be visiting Ireland soon, for the first time and I'm SO glad I found you guys :-D

"But it's ruining the news every single night" Ironically this song was released 1 month before Corona hit Europe.

This is a legit protest song

I'm from Northern Ireland. I watch, I laugh 🙂 and then I remember... 😐

King Henry VIII: I have to divorce. Pope:its hard to break free from a union Henry VIII:No.No its not.

fastest things in the world: 6. Tornadoes 5. NASA Rockets 4. The speed of sound 3. The speed of light 2. Foil singing 1. Running up the stairs after you've turned the lights off

As a Swede I feel that I need to talk with my Finnish friends right now..

Everthing I ever wanted to learn about Brexit........, I learned from three guys and an Irish folk song.

Foil: we would INDEED Hog: *aggressively playing the drum while staring* Me:dead

Being from Scotland, I'm definitely feeling that it'll be just as hard for us to break from a certain Union

Please, release an album of satirical songs on Spotify. Please.

COME SEE OUR LIVE SHOW! We're in Leeds, Southend, Warwick, Exeter, Doncaster, Liverpool, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Cardiff, Portsmouth, Milton Keynes, London, Manchester, Northampton, Cheltenham, Oxford & Guildford foilarmshog.com/Swines

Instead of the news, can we just play this on the BBC every time something Brexity crops up. PS. Something Brexity always fecking crops up.

"...We do videos to encourage people to come to our live shows" Achievement unlocked. See ya lads soon 😂

Arms really earned the nickname in this😂 Absolutely brilliant, can't wait to see you in Glasgow again!

Kind of blown away by Foil's rapid tongue! This is something I would (and totally will) listen to regularly during the week.

"Even Tutankhamen's grandson had to pay in to see him" made me laugh! He had no children that made it past infancy, so no grandchildren. The Egyptian royal line died out with him and his sister/wife. After that, people just kept taking the throne by power. (Just taking an opportunity to talk about one of my favorite subjects! 😁). But the whole song was hysterical and I loved it! Thank you guys!

As someone for Wales, this is what plays in my head twenty four hours a day. Thanks to you guys just over the sea over there.

This is genuinely heartwrenching/bittersweet now, and even better than I remember it being in Edinburgh!! One of your finest, lads 💖

I’ll expect this to be on Spotify Charts by the end of the day 😂

As a modern scot, I feel the same, it's very hard to break free from a union

Comedy, a history lesson and a sing-a-long....bliss... EVERYBODY NOW: "It's hard to break free from a uniooooooon" 👏🏽👏🏽

Can we actually get this on Spotify and make it number 1 so the Brits have to listen to it

As a Mexican, i watched the news about Brexit but I never paid much attention. However thanks to you i Understand it perfectly now. I even explained it to my father lol

“You’ll be Back”

I can’t stop cracking up at Hog’s intense drumming face.

recently went through the first year since the death of my father, been depressed as hell. first thing i see when i load KZfaq is this and now my day is very much been made better. this is perfect

Everything I need to know about brexit I learned from this channel Edit: (I've never gotten this much likes before)

Nobody is asking about how realistic that tin whistle impression sounds

I love Irish music and this is such a treat! You play the instruments so well, including the whistle, and your voices are insanely beautiful. The three drunken monks had my jaw dropped in admiration. This singing talent really sets you apart

My mouth was wide open when Foil was saying all those countries names!!!brilliant like always👌🏻💙

Meanwhile scots are looking at that list and are saying to themselves "let's make it longer"

That tin whistle solo got me 😂😂

Every Thursday I find myself saying 'This is foil, arms and hogs best video to date'....and then the following Thursday's video comes and blows it out of the water

I love this traditional centuries old song. I remember when my grammy sang it to me as a lullaby. Its a banger boys

OMG YOU PLAY THE BODHRAN YEEEEEESSS

As a Brit Expat in Germany, I have almost developed depression over all the frustration about the Gobshiteers. Thanks for the support and cheering up!

- What's your biggest talent? - I can play invisible flute

Oh my god this is brilliant!! I had to turn on the subtitles to understand it but it was so, so brilliant! I am *super* impressed with Foil for singing that fast. Damn boy you're good!

I very much appreciate the genuine Australian $5 note

Every single time I'm revising my ancient Egypt art notes, this song pops in my head. :D

I teach history in Poland. I totally intend to write the text down, Give it to my Class to Translate and then try to Sing It during lesson

2:08 - Imagine if Foil or Hog messed up and need to retake, Arms will have to drink again 😬😬😀👍

Loved that they sneaked in the Egyptian stuff for those few seconds!

I bet Arms had to drink many a glass of Guinness before Foil got the speed just right, poor lad.

It's said to see these guys making comedy videos. Back I was a little kid, these guys would have been one of my dad's favorite groups of folk singers.

This is such a jam, I was headbanging by the end there!

I was so happy when I saw the Brexit song was the video this week, was intrigued to see how Foil got through that list 😂 well done another gud 'un ❤

As a brit, born and raised in England, I can say this is the best thing I've ever heard. Keep it up lads!

The amount of money I'd pay to see the bloopers for this video

The intensity of that stare in 0:44 😅

Your energy and enthusiasm in this song is fantastic! If I play this a few times, my phone battery will start charging itself I'm sure. ⚡ My sister and I loooooved this song when you played it at the Ed Fringe. I'll send it to her immediately :)

It was so hysterical and impressive that I just had to spend the past last week watching your sketches. Thank you.

As an Egyptian am really impressed by it and that this song expressed everything I wish that the Brits would understand. it reminds me of the "Come out ye black n tans"

That baldy wig is a Continuity Editor's nightmare 😂

Not gonna lie lads “it should have been crocodile dundee” sent me over the edge. Looking forward to seeing you fellas in Manchester.

Foil's expressions in this are priceless hahaha

This isn't a sketch video, this is a music video

This is one of the best songs I've heard in a long time!

Brilliant !

This song is playing on repeat in my head. It doesn't stop and I'm not even angry about it

As an ex pat Englishman, I loved this song. I was tapping along to the rhythm and listening intently to the lyrics; vey clever group of lads. WELL DONE!!

As an Englishman, no truer words have never been spoken

Now I can rewind and relisten. When I saw this live I missed a few bits 🤣 during show in Amsterdam. All those rude people laughing loudly... how dare they 🤣

Tell it to the Welsh, we're still stuck with them

the way the music drops out beneath "after one hundred years of freedom, their shit's still in the british museum" gets me so fucking hype 😂👏👏👏

This might be one of the best things I've ever witnessed online.

If people ask me if I'm still bile over the whole 800 years, I'll send them this xD

The whistle solo🔥🔥🔥

That tin whistle was amazing 😂

Classic. Also, how long did it take for you to get this right?

Mesho (Ramesh) quoting the Gandhi line was gold 😂👌🏽

I love how they advertise that they're coming to the UK. After shredding Britain so perfectly

I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW AMAZING THESE GUYS ARE LIVE!! Please if you haven't seen them, go and see them, it's certainly a night well spent!

Tears of laughter here, you guys are briljant but this is your best work so far! And a damn catchy tune as well!

The like button wouldn’t let me press it 10000000x 🙄 i was smiling through this whole video because it made me think of the LA show but the video... freaking Foils hair flipping about, Hogs shoulders shruggin and Arms 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 chugging that drink on Foils speed solo. Bravo boys. Now excuse me while i add this to my work playlist to blare over the speakers

All Scots and Irish will be singing this along with 500 miles for years to come...

I just noticed arms finished his pint off during the Foil Solo haha rewatching this one because it's gold lads fair play to ye
