A song - a tribute to 'Irish' Mickey Ward called 'The Warriors Code'
by the 'Dropkick Murphy's' (Like all things truly Irish are from Boston
Mass
)
Never heard of them but they are big in the states - I like it - a stomping tune to be sure!

Scorcese used their excellent cover of "I'm Shipping Up To Boston" in The Departed.

Yep, that was just beyond terrible - should have just left him with his normal accent & said he was an expat..no brainer.
Great soundtrack as ever though

A great tune.
Forrest Griffin, the new UFC Light Heavyweight champ, uses it as his entrance music.

Haha.... yeah, he did

He's on myspace, i'll send him a msg... haven't spoken to him in a while...
