My Lovely Horse

[Caminante]

Was anyone else at the Barbican last night and saw Divine Comedy perform this? 😄

What absolutely joy!! 😭

Ahhh Father Ted memories 😍.

Eurosong 1996!

@Pebbledashery indeed! So good ❤️

Running through the... FIELD

I love this, the video still makes me laugh so much!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊

it's totally not my sense of humour, but as long as it's yours & you had a good night, that's all that matters!!

I love the Divine Comedy so much. Neil Hannon in his Napoleon costume is my guilty crush

😃

Ahh the memories! I know this song word for word as I was Father Ted obsessed, it plays in my head whenever someone talks about a horse 😆 love it! A firm classic in my book!

Best Eurovision Song Ever ❤️

Brilliant!!

I used to have a Divine Comedy cd single and it was the "B - Side" song.

Oh god yes!!

Glad there's so much love for Neil/Father Ted/horse song

I was hoping this was going to be a Father Ted thread

Hopefully they credited the amazing Graham Linehan.

its a family favourite in our house, in fact we were singing it at dinner last night 'I'm going to take you to the horse.....dentist' . Just love Father Ted

Neil Hannon has written the songs for an entire Father Ted musical. Cancelled in response to Glinner's GC views.

Loved frog Princess, but couldn't find it on their greatest hits CD

God the cancellation of the musical is so bloody sad!!

We need to lose that sax solo.

Where are you going with your fetlocks flowing in the....WIND?

Love Father Ted so much. Spent many a happy evening in my student halls watching the videos, stoned and/or drunk with my flatmates 😂

I even made my flatmate Jim a little stained glass window that said 'Father Jim' like the one on the credits. Good times!

What am I missing? You're all obviously really enjoying it, and I can't see the joke! 😭

Hang on I can do this bit

With a man on your back, like a train in the night….😻

My horse is actually named after a Father Ted character, and is quite well known in certain circles (cannot say more than that because I’ve probably outed myself already!) When we took part in a particular high profile sports event, my entire support crew were dressed in T shirts with the psychedelic horse’s head on the front and the words My Lovely Horse emblazoned across the chest. The number of people who came up to us and professed a love of the song was quite pleasing. I’ve lost track of the number of people I’ve made watch the YouTube video of it. 🤣
