A song by an Irish pub band about Barack Obama's Irish connections has been such a hit the group has signed a record deal and released a single.
In the run-up to the election researchers at Trinity College, Dublin found that one of Obama's distant ancestors was a wigmaker from the village of Moneygall.
The Corrigan Brothers spoke about their band's success on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show and performed 'There's no-one as Irish as Barack Obama'.
