Video: Introducing The 6 AM Long Island Rail Road Rally Song

121011lirr.jpg

We have nothing but respect for anyone who has to commute via the Long Island Rail Road in the wee hours of the morning. We may think of the LIRR primarily as the domain of pants-tearing seats, effervescent revelers and boozy belligerents, but those crowds don't usually mix with pre-dawn workers...except when they do. In the video below, a group serenades their LIRR car with an enthusiastic rallying song at 6 a.m. It may sound terribly shrill and inconsiderate to us, but maybe you'll find their whooping charming. We'd wager that the man trying to sleep two seats behind them is wishing he had snuck into one of the new quiet cars.

    It is just plain rude and inconsiderate.

    I used to take a 6:24 train from LI right after I graduated from college. You could hear people turning the pages of their newspapers. No way would this shit fly.

    Where is the part about Long Island teen being shot in the mouth?

    This is yet another reminder of why I always avoid the areas where 4 seats are facing each other when taking a train.

    This is horrible.

    I don't even have to look at that clip to be completely annoyed.
