Their ridiculously catchy song includes the can't-get-it-out-of-your-head line, "He drinks tequila while she talks dirty in Spanish."
The trio is made up of Mary Murray-Burke and her children Derek (18) and Dervla (17).
Just four weeks ago they were practically nowhere on YouTube with just 600 views.
But then Ellen tweeted and the video went viral.
