Tura Lura Lural

Many years ago,
Me mither sang a song to me
In tones so sweet and low.
Just a simple little ditty,
In her good ould Irish way,
And I'd give the world if she could sing
That song to me this day.
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
Hush, now don't you cry!
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
That's an Irish lullaby.
Oft, in dreams I wander
To that cot again,
I feel her arms a huggin' me
As when she held me then.
And I hear her voice a humin'
To me as in days or yore,
When she used to rock me fast asleep
Outside the cabin door.
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
Hush, now don't you cry!
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
That's an Irish lullaby.
Tura Lura Lural
Released by the British electronic duo Band, 'Tura Lura Lural' stands as a defining track of the early 2000s acid house and jungle revival. The song showcases the group's signature blend of rapid-fire drum machines, distorted basslines, and repetitive, hypnotic vocal chants that became a staple of the genre's resurgence. Often associated with the 'Big Beat' and 'Acid' subgenres of the era, the recording captures the frenetic energy and raw production techniques characteristic of late-night club culture in the UK. While the specific album placement varies in different releases, the track remains a pivotal example of Band's contribution to the digital dance music landscape of the early millennium, influencing countless subsequent productions in the electronic realm.
