#OTD in 1669 – Molly Malone is purportedly christened in Dublin.
The song ‘Molly Malone’, also known as ‘Cockles and Mussels’ tells the story of an attractive fishmonger in Dublin named Molly Malone. The song tells how she died young of a fever and how her ghost still haunts the streets of Dublin where she plied her trade. The song is extremely popular in Ireland and elsewhere and is the unofficial anthem of Dublin. Almost every Irish artist has recorded…

I think the thing that makes this performance so exemplary is that... how do I put this... ok so stick with me for a second. I sometimes think about how, especially with folk songs that date to time immemorial, it’s super easy for a popular singer to cover it to make cash. And so sometimes I try to think about, like, if I had to choose one word from the song to describe their performance. Or not describe, but like, one word that exemplifies their performance. If that makes sense. And so with most cover versions of this song I think the word is Dublin, because it’s a crowd pleaser and they’re centering that shared heritage. But with this performance I think the word is alive. Ok thanks for reading.

#MovieMonday “The Garage,” 1920 is the last short filmed at Comique Studios before Roscoe Arbuckle left it in the capable hands of Buster Keaton.  The slapstick knows no bounds as the boys fix & destroy cars whilst also serving as the local fire station - they’re on fire!

#OTD in 1988 – The Molly Malone statue in Grafton Street was unveiled by then-Lord Mayor of Dublin, Alderman Ben Briscoe during the 1988 Dublin Millennium celebrations, declaring 13 June as Molly Malone Day.
In popular Dublin parlance, Molly Malone is referred to as “The Tart with the Cart and “The Dish with the Fish”. The song tells the fictional tale of a fishmonger who plied her trade on the streets of Dublin, but who died young, of a fever. In the late 20th century a legend grew up that there was a historical Molly, who lived in the 17th century. Molly had wheeled her wheel barrow from the…
