The Commitments - Naming a Band: The Northsiders
Outspan Foster:
There's a band around called "Free Beer". Always draws a big crowd.
Derek:
I like "A Flock of Budgies".
Jimmy Rabbitte:
We have to be "the" something. All the great sixties bands were "The Somethings".
Outspan Foster:
We could be... The Northsiders.
Derek:
Or The Liffy Lads.
Outspan Foster:
How about... The Fucking Eejits?

Jimmy Rabbitte:

Jimmy Rabbitte:

Well, we're not married to it.
