61. Shipping Up to Boston by The Dropkick Murphys 2005


My daughter Ruby loves this song. Whenever it comes on the car stereo I know we’re going to have the best three minutes ever. It’s just a mad fantastic song that I’ll always associate with my youngest daughter. Shouting the lyrics which Ruby either thinks are funny or the mad screaming is. We never get sick of it and I hope we never do. Unfortunately in a few years from now she may forget so I will have to keep reminding her how good it is.
Recently the song was used in the film "The Departed" and from the opening few bars of the song you're into the drama and violence onscreen. Later I found out the lyrics are by Woody Guthrie. Anyway a great song.
