"Karla with a K" by Kilkenny Band

 


Maybe it's a Philadelphia thing, but I love The Hooters

 Their 1985 song "Karla with a K" used to play between innings of Phillies games that were broadcast on channel 17 on Sunday afternoons... not sure exactly when, but Juan Samuel and Milt Thompson were in the lineup.  And Von Hayes.  

Plus, with their accordion and mandolin and saxophone and hooter, the group were, and remain, a completely unique blend of new wave, folk, and roots rock.

Kilkenny Band gave this tune a Celt rock twist on their 2015 album "We'll Find it Someday."

Strange but true: Kilkenny Band, named after a medieval town in Southeastern Ireland and sounding more Irish than a shamrock soaked in Bailey's... are actually from Osnabruck, Germany.
