The Saw Doctors - I`d Love To Kiss The Bangles
Video Produced by Rewind Studios
The Saw Doctors were a little-known local bar band in Tuam in County Galway when they were invited by Mike Scott to be the opening act on The Waterboys' 1988 tour of Ireland and the U.K.
The Saw Doctors had their initial success with their second single, "I Useta Love Her," a tune about lusting for an old girlfriend during Mass. Despite the opposition by the Church, the song became the biggest-selling single in Irish history and spent nine weeks at the top of the Irish charts.
Following its success, the Saw Doctors' first single, "N17," about an immigrant's homesickness, was reissued, and it too became a #1 hit.
The Saw Doctors debut album, If This Is Rock and Roll, I Want My Old Job Back, released in 1991, also reached the top slot on the Irish charts. Although their second album, All the Way from Tuam, released in 1992, was well received in Ireland, the Saw Doctors didn't have their first hit in Great Britain until releasing a four-track EP, Small Bit of Love, which reached the #24 position on the British charts.
A second EP, World of Good, released in January 1996, reached the #15 position.
Same Oul' Town, the Saw Doctors' third album, was released in 1996 and fared even better, reaching #6 on the British charts.
The Saw Doctors had their commercial breakthrough in the United States when "Never Mind the Strangers," co-written with original drummer Padraig Stevens, was used by Guinness in a million-dollar radio ad campaign for Harp Lager.
The current lineup of the Saw Doctors features Leo Moran (Guitar), Davy Carton (Vocals), Pearse Doherty (bass), John Donnelly (drums) and Derek Murray (keyboards).
