11 Jolly Songs Every Successful Event Planner Needs to Listen to on St. Patrick’s Day 2016!

Ah! Thursday. Every event professional, event planner, and event committee member’s favorite day of the week – the day MeetingPlay (your mobile event app) shares our weekly playlist.  This week, how could we pass up the event world opportunity on this amazing day – St. Patrick’s Day. 

Made an official holiday in the early 17th century by religious influences – now a days, it seems to be more focused on everything green – from clothing to beer. No matter how you spend your day – may it be full of planning and executing successful, engaging events. (That perhaps, are full of green & shamrocks, my lad!)

(Oh, and here’s our St. Patrick’s Day inspired playlist for you this week!):

1. The Dubliner’s – Whiskey in the Jar

Sing along:

I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny
She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
But the devil take the women for they never can be easy

2.) Macklemore – Irish Celebration

Sing along:

We put our glass to the sky and lift up
And live tonight ’cause you can’t take it with ya
So raise a pint for the people that aren’t with us
And live tonight ’cause you can’t take it with ya

3.) The Beatles – I Saw Her Standing There

Sing along:

Well my heart went boom
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine

4.) Counting Crows – Hangin’ Around

Sing along:

She sat right down on the sofa
I said, “Where have you been? I’ve been waiting for you.
‘Cause last night I had something so good
These days get so long and I got nothing to do”

5.) Celtic Women – “Danny Boy”

Sing along:

And I shall hear, tho’ soft you tread above me
And all my grave will warm and sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.

6.) Snow Patrol – Just Say Yes

Sing along:

I’m running out of ways to make you see
I want you to stay here beside me
I won’t be ok and I won’t pretend I am
So just tell me today and take my hand
Please take my hand

7.) U2 – I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For

Sing along:

I have run I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven’t found
What I’m looking for

8.)Boondock Saints Theme Song – The Blood of Cú Chulainn

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to every event professional, event planner, or any one planning an event, meeting, conference or seminar!
