1. The opening riff still gives you chills whenever you hear it.
DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO.
2. And no piece of music makes you feel more patriotic.
Not even Riverdance.
3. Or emotional.
4. In fact, you’re of the view that it should be the national anthem
All rise for our national anthem.
*clears throat* “We’re all part of Jackie’s Army…”
5. It *pains* you that it’s not on Spotify
6. As a result, this is one of your most-watched YouTube videos
And the first video you go to on match day.
7. The comments under Put ‘Em Under Pressure make you feel warm and fuzzy inside
Who said you shouldn’t read the comments, eh?
8. You’ve listened to it so often you’re able to recite all of Jack Charlton’s parts
You, after 10 pints: “WE INFLICT OUR GAME ON THE PEOPLE”
9. And you’ve been known to lose your mind when it comes on at weddings
Ties and jackets off, lads.
10. You’re pretty sure it might be Larry Mullen’s finest achievement
He produced it, didn’t you know?
11. In short, it might just be the best song ever
Sing it loud and sing it proud.
We’re all part of Jackie’s Army/We’re all off to win the league/And we’ll really shake them up/When we win the World Cup/‘Cause Ireland are the greatest football team
