The boys of the NYPD choir, singing Galway Bay?

score:5

Accepted answer

The NYPD does not have a Choir. MacGowan wrote the song having never actually been to New York.

For the production of the music video, the NYPD Pipe and Drum Band was hired instead, and they sang the only song they all knew; the Mickey Mouse Club Anthem.

The Pipe and Drum band primarily plays at police-related functions, including funerals and fundraisers. As far as I know, 'Galway Bay' is not part of their repertoire, as they specialize in traditional Irish and Scottish folk music. The most reliable place to see them play would be during one of the cities major holiday parades - especially those of interest to the Irish-American community, such as the Saint Patrick's Day Parade every March.
