NO MATTER WHERE you are in the world, if any of these songs come on you must stop what you’re doing and sing along.

Swaying, eye-closing and weeping is optional.

Love it or hate it, you HAVE to sing along. If you have a friend from Galway be sure to point at her regularly.

If you’re from Galway be sure to look sufficiently smug.

Again, don’t forget to look smug if you’re from Galway.
