Twirl is the second of his words to rhyme with girl but I cannot see the difference between it and whirl unless he is suggesting that his excitement at the invitation to her flat caused him to do a little Irish jig and he caused her to spin with glee. With anticipation of sexual intercourse he became infatuated by this Galwegian woman who had her own flat in town.

The website The Galway Girl Story says: All you have to do is travel to that county on the far shores of Europe and see for yourself what the girls of Galway are really like. Passionate and proud, beautiful and daring, independent and light-hearted, they might just steal your heart away.

Firstly, the name. As everyone already knows by now, because every single copy-and-paste Joe.ie, CollegeTimes.com or whatever covered it at some stage, the muse for this particular song isn't actually from Galway, she's a married woman from Limerick. So she's not from Galway, and she's not "his girl". Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems fairly blatantly obvious that Ed chose the title of this song, and possibly the entire reason for the song's existence, simply so that he could ride on the back of the already hugely recognised and celebrated original "Galway Girl" by Steve Earle. I know Earle himself isn't Irish, but it's hard to argue against the fact that it's an Irish staple at this point and that every man, woman and child in the country knows it more or less off by heart, in English and as Gaeilge, whether they'd like to or not. This annoyed me before I had even listened to the song, because I thought "wow, what a dickhead, he's just cashing in on an already established classic because he knows he's Ed Sheeran and Irish 16 year olds will love it" and "who does he actually think he is to essentially steal that song away?". And it wasn't even that he was covering or even paying homage to the song; he's completely and unashamedly overwritten it. If you Google search "Galway Girl", the original doesn't even show up on the first page of results anymore. The song has no actual inspiration or reason to exist other than to pander to the people of Ireland (remember "Irish Celebration" by Macklemore?), and a perfectly good piece of Irish culture has been tainted and overshadowed.

Secondly, the song is absolute trash. I think Anthony Fantano described it best when he said "Ed is spitting verse after verse over this fusion of Celtic music and hip-hop, it's so gross". The music itself is disgusting to listen to, and the lyrics are even worse. "What do I know about Ireland? Oh yeah, Grafton Street, Temple Bar, pubs, drinking, cilidhs and speaking "Gaelic". Oh, and that Galway Girl song". It's just the same old shit as seen in any stupid American film or TV show which decides to include Ireland because everyone loves Ireland and that's what Ireland is. Also, "she played the fiddle in an Irish band BUT she fell in love with an English man". "BUT"? Is he implying that it's some sort of taboo that this Irish girl would go out with an English person as some sort of acknowledgement of the somewhat mixed relationship between these two countries?

But maybe I'm missing the point. Maybe I'm neglecting the allure of the Galway girls. After all, it is they who have inspired so many songwriters to sing their tributes. Maybe Ed did have a life-changing experience with one of these black-haired beauties and maybe that experience spurred him to put pen to paper and write a glowing, gloweringly inaccurate eulogy to Irish women.

To try to make sense of it all, I tracked down as many Galway girls as I could and asked them what they thought of Ed and his night with Arthur, Jack, Jamie and Johnny. How do they feel about being the subject of so many songs?

Noisey: Hi Grace, given your experience of Galway, how accurate is Ed's picture of a night out in the town?

Grace: I don't know a single girl who would be able to mix Jameson, Jack, Guinness and Powers and be able to speak at the end of the night, never mind stand on a stool and play darts! But I guess it'd be a pretty accurate description of going to one of the older pubs in Galway, with Van playing as well as the trad (traditional Irish music). Having Doritos after a sesh in Galway is definitely 100 percent accurate though, funnily enough.

Is the notion of the "Galway girl" a real thing?

I wouldn't say a Galway girl is profoundly different from say, a Clare girl, but alliteration always helps when writing lyrics, I guess. I'd say that a Galway girl isn't afraid to get stuck in and is "bold as brass", as my mother would say. I think there's also something about being so far west, a city far away from everything. It's exotic or something.

Noisey: What do you think of Ed Sheeran writing a song celebrating Galway girls?

Ella: I like how it puts Galway on the map. It's such a great city and it's nice to have an international star give it a mention. Saying that, I do think the song is cheesy. The lyrics are a bit stereotypical of an encounter with an Irish girl. It's as if he's an American, not from across the pond. I play fiddle myself and really enjoy traditional music so I do really enjoy the trad riff throughout the song. It's something I think we should hear more of in chart music.

What is it about Galway girls that is so attractive to the songwriter?

We're very genuine. We are true to our roots. Even when we travel or emigrate you still get a good sense of where we're from through our vibrant personalities. We're definitely up for the craic and enjoy a bit of friendly banter.

Would you say Galway girls are the town's biggest tourist attraction?

I think it's a bonus for tourists if they meet and get chatting to a Galway girl, maybe strike something off their bucket list!

Noisey: Hi Neasa, as a Galway girl, are you getting sick and tired of floppy-haired singer songwriters trying to woo you with half-baked folk pop?

Neasa: Not at all. I think it's great, and Galway is a special little city so it's nice it's recognised.

Do you find that a lot of men come to Galway specifically to get with the girls?

A lot of stags come to Galway, but more because of the city's nightlife rather than the women. I think men like Irish girls in general, not just Galway girls.

Do you feel any pressure to live up to the idealised version of 'the Galway girl'?

Compared to most girls we don't take ourselves too seriously, but there is definitely some pressure to live up to that depiction of getting plastered with a guy you've just met and pretending you're wild and totally care-free. And it definitely takes a brave woman to eat Doritos in front of a guy you fancy kissing!

Would you say that there is such a thing as "a Galway girl"? Are women from Galway any different than anywhere else?

Well no, there's nothing inherent about any specific identity. I think people often perceive that there's something different about people from a particular place.

The Galway Girl lyrics share the story of a young man who is entranced by the beauty and poise of an young Irish lady. A pure love song with a cheerful, bouncy rhythm, it is a crowd favorite as you will see below. 17dc91bb1f
