Amhrán na bhFiann ?

3 Cosmos
That's certainly the Irish National Anthem, which is often sung before sporting internationals, but doesn't fit the pattern. I keep wanting to say Hothouse Flowers, but can't work out why...
Ireland's Call is played before rugby matches, not the National Anthem, but doesn't fit the theme either
1: Dropkick Murphys
Nice on Chinajan. I'd actually thought of 'dropkick' but just said to myself 'no pop group would start with that...'
Great answer! Annoying, as I'm a big fan of the Dropkick Murphys.

Hi Chinajan, Many thanks for that
Well I thought Music 1960-2020 was my specialist subject- but I haven't heard of Dropkick Murphys or Cosmos
FF, 'Cosmos' is a flower not a group (see OP's note at the top). :))
^Cosmos was the flower FF, not a band. :o)
If you like The Pogues, you can think of The Dropkick Murphys as Pogues++. Generally heavier and shoutier.

Thanks. I saw the title and jumped in too eagerly
For the record (boom! boom!) there have been several bands called Cosmos: https://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=4485
