"Seven Drunken Nights" is a humorous Irish folk song most famously performed by The Dubliners.
 It is a variation of the Scottish folk song "Our Goodman" (Child 274, Roud 114).
 It tells the story of a gullible drunkard returning night after night to see new evidence of his wife's lover, only to be taken in by increasingly implausible explanations.
Inis Beag (Irish: "Little Island") is a remote island off the coast of Connemara, Ireland, near the Aran Islands.
 It contains a small, isolated Irish-speaking Catholic community which cultural anthropologist John Cowan Messenger observed in his study "Sex and Repression in an Irish Folk Community".
 During the period of his study between 1958 and 1966, Inis Beag supported a population of around 350, mostly living by subsistence farming and fishing.
 The name "Inis Beag" is a name made up by researchers to protect the privacy of the island's people.
 Its true identity is Inisheer.
"The Hills of Connemara" is an Irish folk song written by Sean McCarthy about Irish moonshine, or Poitín.
 In the song, the drink is referred to as "mountain tea" ("tay" to rhyme with "day").
 The punch line to the song is that the tax collectors ("excise men") find the cache of moonshine and begin "drinkin' it straight".
 "Tae", pronounced "tay" is gaelic for "tea".
