The performers of the hit song, "There's No One As Irish As Barack O'Bama," are "over the moon" with their recent spate of success after their U.S. presidential election parody song was viewed by more than 600,000 people on YouTube, leading to a two album deal with world music legends Universal.

Gerry Corrigan, spokesperson and member of the Corrigan Brothers, formally called Hardy Drew and the Nancy Boys, told the Irish Voice that life has been a rollercoaster since President-elect Barack Obama won last month's election.

"It's unbelievable really the whole thing since the election," said Corrigan, who claims their song helped get Obama elected.

A few days after the election, the band appeared on Ireland's longest running television show, "The Late Late Show." Shortly after the producer of the "Andrew Marr Show," a political chat show on BBC, asked the band's permission to air their song on the Sunday morning show.

Unbeknownst to the three Limerick brothers they were being catapulted up the ladder of fame, and in a matter of days well-known and respected U.K. public relations manager Jonathan Shalit signed the lads and got them a two-album deal with Universal Music Group.

"It really is so crazy but we are absolutely thrilled," said Corrigan from his home in Limerick on Monday. "As soon as our song was aired on the 'Andrew Marr Show' it became the number one news story on the BBC website that Sunday."

That afternoon he received a call from Shalit asking him if he was interested in a huge record deal.

"I honestly thought he was a nutter having me on," laughed Corrigan.

"I checked his website and discovered that he represented British singer Charlotte Church and a load of big acts."

Within a week the multi instrumentalists Gerard, Brian and Donncha Corrigan were signed up to the same label that represents Sting, U2 and the Rolling Stones.

"It's been insane since," Corrigan said. "We are doing so many live shows when we can."

The band, which has been playing spoof songs together since they were kids, will air live on the "Andrew Marr Show" Sunday at 9 a.m.

The single "There's No One As Irish As Barack O'Bama" was released last week in Ireland and is selling like hot cakes. It was officially launched in Ollie Hayes Bar Moneygall, Co. Offaly, ancestral home of Obama's great-great-grandfather, on December 12.

After the launch, the Corrigan Brothers performed at a local school in the town. "We were mobbed like Take That and Westlife," said Corrigan.

It will be a busy Christmas for the Corrigan Brothers and an even busier New Year. They are scheduled to play at the Irish Inauguration Ball for Obama in Washington, rumored to have Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton in attendance.

"We are also playing a gig at James Hoban's Irish Restaurant and Bar and on the parade route on the day of the inauguration," he added.

Corrigan, who is scheduled to fly into New York on January 18 with his brothers, a cousin of Obama's from Moneygall, Henry Healy, and Canon Stephan Neill, who was instrumental in discovering Obama's Offaly roots, plans to hire an RV and drive to Washington with the gang the following morning.

In the interim the band is recording their first album and are ready to release there second song called "The Irish Invented Rock 'n' Roll."

Said Ger, "The album will have the Obama song and a number of other songs around the Irish diaspora. We have a great song about an American dream and about all the Irish who went to America. We feel some of our songs will serve as an anthem for the Irish abroad," he said.

The famous single "There's No One As Irish As Barack O'Bama," is currently only available in Ireland but can be downloaded from the Universal Records site and iTunes.
