Top 5 Songs That Make Reference to St. Patrick’s Day

March 17, 2012 - 3:13 am by VIBE

St. Patrick’s Day is among us and there is no other day where people can wear repulsive shades of green, idiotic accessories, get hammered beyond comprehension and not be judged by the general public. Yep, we here at VIBE can’t wait for the festivities, so in honor of the sanctimonious holiday we want to give the people our top five songs that reference St. Patty’s Day. Get your beverage of choice ready—a green Guinness or Incredible Hulk (Hennessy and Hypnotiq), a shamrock or four-leaf clover inspired accessory and let the party begin. Cheers to the freaking weekend! -- Johnathan Cruse

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Lil Kim feat. Lil Cease and P Diddy "Off the Wall"

Lyric: “Be a pigeon nigga you sound retarded, I’m the girl with more green than St. Patrick’s Day, a house by the bay so what do you say?” Leave it to Lil’ Kim to grace us with a questionable lyric but it somehow makes sense.

Iconz “Get Fucked Up”

Lyric: “Get fucked up, stay fucked up, roll to the club in a navigator truck.” Okay, I know it doesn’t have a direct reference to St. Patty’s Day but it’s our list we break the rules if we want to.

John Mayer "St. Patrick’s Day"

Lyric: “No way November will see our goodbye, When it comes to December it's obvious why no one wants to be alone at Christmas time And come January we're frozen inside, making new resolutions a hundred times February, won't you be my valentine? And we'll both be safe 'til St. Patrick's Day.” You would have to ask John about this one, we’re just sticking to our theme.

Too $hort “Cusswords”

Lyric: “You little punk ass boy, wouldn’t listen to me, think I’m faking but I’m taking all you sucka MC’s. To the end of the world and push you over, Good luck couldn’t find you in a four leaf clover.” And that was a tamed lyric. But don’t take our word for it.

Greet Beatz "St. Patty’s Day"

Lyrics: “3-17 its St. Patty’s Day drink a pint for those that passed away, it’s a celebration green beer all over the nation.” Very much innovative as well as funny this was a rare Youtube find.
