Faith and Begorrah, St. Pat’s Day tis a big deal around these parts, and what better way to wake up and get your Irish on than with Dropkick Murphys singing “I’m Shipping Up To Boston”!:
“May you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you’re dead”

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
There are apparently two videos for I’m Shipping Up To Boston available. The one above was apparently released at the same time that The Departed made the song famous. It features the band performing and footage from the film.
The other version is below. This version was directed by Mark Higgins and it basically involves the band, as Higgins put it on YouTube, “hanging with hooligans and runnin’ from the cops.” Personally, I prefer the version below but they’re both good.
Enjoy!
