Irish lads while away a summers day by rapping as cows - VIDEO

This video we just could not resist. What we have here is a group of Irish boys, wearing cow masks and rapping to, 1990s boyband, Five's "If you're getting down baby". What could be more normal than that?

As the creators, Master Massey and Shyhhy Welly, say on their Vimeo account "This was quite an easy and fun one to do: Dutch Gold, sun, cow masks and a camera; what could possibly go wrong?"

Talk like a real life Leprechaun - new iPhone app for kids - VIDEO

The new iPhone app "Talking Woody the Leprechaun" may be for kids but you can be sure that adults will be getting Woody to repeat phrases like "Where's me Lucky Charms".

Just like a digital talking parrot Woody's app allows you to record a phrase and have Woody repeat the phrase back to you in an every so 'begorrah, bejaysus' accent.

Woody's described as a "digital hooligan" that "will repeat anything users say, react to their touch, and even grant users a pot of gold should they wish for it!"
