ONE Irish music group trotted down from the capital to reenact the iconic My Lovely Horse song outside the house that made Father Ted a cult classic.
The all-male a cappella group, The Ramparts, travelled down the country from Dublin to Co Clare to sing the iconic My Lovely Horse song outside the famous Father Ted House.
In season two, episode five, Father Ted and Dougal enter the 1996 Eurosong Contest. They write new words for a Norwegian entry and try to pass it off as their own, singing the My Lovely Horse song - actually entitled A Song for Europe.
It originally aired on April 5, 1996 and has since been recognised as one of the most popular episodes of the show.
