Thomas Leo Clancy, Jr. (April 12, 1947 – October 1, 2013) was an American novelist best known for his technically detailed espionage and military science storylines set during and after the Cold War. Seventeen of his novels were bestsellers, and more than 100 million copies of his books are in print. His name was also used on movie scripts written by ghost writers, non-fiction books on military subjects, and video games. He was a part-owner of the Baltimore Orioles and Vice Chairman of their Community Activities and Public Affairs committees.
Clancy's literary career began in 1984 when he sold The Hunt for Red October for $5,000. His works, The Hunt for Red October (1984), Patriot Games (1987), Clear and Present Danger (1989), and The Sum of All Fears (1991), have been turned into commercially successful films with actors Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck, and Chris Pine all playing Clancy's most famous fictional character Jack Ryan, while his second most famous character, John Clark, has been played by actors Willem Dafoe and Liev Schreiber. Clancy died on October 1, 2013, of an undisclosed illness.
Thomas 'Tom' Clancy (11 April 1887 – 23 April 1957) was an Australian rules footballer who played for South Melbourne, Carlton and Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
A winger from Williamstown, Clancy could only manage one appearance at South Melbourne in 1908. He resurrected his career when he came to Carlton and he was a regular in their team from 1910 to 1914. Clancy was a losing Grand Finalist in his first year at the club and when he wasn't picked in their side for the 1914 premiership decider, owing to a disagreement with the coach, he left and joined Collingwood. He participated in the 1915 Grand Final with Collingwood, in his favourite position of wingman but again finished on the losing team.
Thomas John "Tom" Clancy (29 October 1924 – 7 November 1990) was a member of the influential Irish folk group, The Clancy Brothers. He had the most powerful voice of the brothers and had previously been an actor in numerous stage productions, appearing with Orson Welles in King Lear. He also performed often on television and occasionally in the movies.
Tom Clancy was one of eleven children born to Johanna McGrath and Bob Clancy in Carrick-on-Suir, County Tipperary. After being apprenticed as a baker, Clancy followed his older brother Patrick "Paddy" Clancy into the British Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1943 during World War II, despite both having been members of the Irish Republican Army. In the RAF, Clancy worked as a radio operator on bombing runs over Germany.
Discharged from the RAF at the war's end, Tom Clancy toured with a British repertory company. In 1947 he and his brother Paddy emigrated to Canada. However, they soon moved to Cleveland, Ohio, to live with relatives. Tom worked for a while as a repertory actor at the Cleveland Playhouse, before returning temporarily to Ireland. While in Ireland, Clancy worked for the Shakespeareana Internationale company run by English actor and manager Geoffrey Kendal. After Paddy sent him extra money, Tom Clancy returned to the United States. The brothers planned to move to California, but their car broke down. They decided to try New York City instead and found work as actors, both on and off Broadway.

Supremely ultra super duper rare SOLO appearance by Tom Clancy of the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. 1963.
"The Parting Glass" is an Irish and Scottish traditional song, often sung at the end of a gathering of friends. It was allegedly the most popular song sung in both Scotland and Ireland before Robert Burns wrote "Auld Lang Syne". This song has a dual heritage as some of the lyrics were quoted in a letter by a Scottish man who was making his way over to Ireland; around this time there were many Scottish settlers arriving in Ireland and so the song was then combined with both cultures. The Irish song is thoughtful and quiet, though the old Scottish version, "Good Night and Joy Be With You All," is quite lively and uses roughly the same melody, an old type of tune called the Scots Measure. The celebrated Irish folk song collector, Colm O Lochlainn, pointed out that The Parting Glass shares i...

Lyrics: Now when I was a young man, I carried my pack. And I lived the free life of a rover From the Murray's green basin To the dusty outback, I waltzed my matilda all over. Then in nineteen fifteen, my country said son It's time to stop rambling, There's work to be done. So they gave me a tin hat, And they gave me a gun, And they sent me away to the war. And the band played Waltzing Matilda, As the ship pulled away from the Quay And amidst all the tears, Flagwaving and cheers We sailed off for Gallipoli Well I remember that terrible day When our blood stained the sand and the water And how in that hell that they called Suvla Bay We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter. Johnny Turk he was ready Oh he primed himself well. He rained us with bullets, And he showered us with shells. ...

The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem took Irish ballads into every major concert hall across the globe. In the late 1950s they created their own label and they sang and recorded the songs they had grown up with. They were all actors at heart and they brought those skills to their performances and each group member had his own unique style…from Tom Clancy’s poems to Paddy Clancy’s sea-shanties; from Liam Clancy’s gentle singing to Tommy Makem’s wonderful self-penned folk songs and his droll Keady wit. After a famous appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show they…and their Aran sweaters!.... took America by storm. And so the legend began. The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem called it a day in the late 1960s but they reunited in the early 1980s with concerts in...

(Mr. Heart)
In the Van, drunk driving, pulled over by the cops
Swipe a gun from they holster, lickin' off shots
Sped off in a flash, Mashin' on the gas
Gotta helicopter hovering, above, on my ass
(Mr. Diamond)
There's a black van followin you, a figure driving
Shimmerin' diamonds, on his wrist, no survivin'
It's wartime, and you caught in the middle of it
We plant you in the dirt, head first and love it
(Mr. Spade)
The van was loaded up to the max with guns
Mr Diamond said he know where we could get some funds
Out this bank in North Hollywood, Full-body armor suit,
if the pigs come my way, You know Im'a shoot
(Mr. Heart)
In the Van, through a tunnel, headed strait for a truck
What the fuck, so I bust, till I blow that bitch up
All over the road, madman in the van
No love, Mr. Heart, keep a weapon on hand
(Chorus)(x4)
4 killers on the loose (THE VAN!!)
Got these guns 'bout to shoot (THE VAN!!)
Punk, bust through you (THE VAN!!)
What the fuck you gonna do? when you see (THE VAN!!)
(Mr. Spade)
Im in the van windows tinted, a crime was committed
The police'll never find out a Soopa Villain did it
Up in the van, bodies wrapped up in saran,
Give me a hand, and murder was a part'a the plan
(Mr. Heart) In the van headed straight for the window
at a bank
Right, through the glass, Soopa Villainz what you think
Pop! Pop! Shoot this bitch up, put the money in the
bags
Mob off in the van, drop a bomb for the blast
(Mr. Diamond)
We in the van, with a dead fag, wrapped in a bag
That we draggin' behind us, they never gon' find us
Soopa Villainz in the van, bandanas on the plates
And we barrelin' through, the shopping zone with no
brakes
(Mr. Spade)
Load up the van with all the cash, inside Fort Knox
Then back to the hood, and park it on the hot block
For the traffic stop, keep the glock cocked, for the
When he ask for my license, pistols go "Pop! Pop!"
(Chorus)
(Mr. Diamond)
When the Van Backfires, somebody dies
Whoever ridin' behind us catches shrapnel to the eyes
The whole grill fulla hair, skin, tissue, and blood
97 miles an hour makes a hell of a thud
(Mr. Spade)
In the van, you might hear a bitch scream
Rollin down ya block like B.A. from the A-team (I pity
the fool!)
With all that gold on, dont get stole on
Old lady hold on, let the van roll on
(Mr. Heart)
In the van I see a hooker, she hitchin' for a ride
So I pulled over, and I let her inside
To the back of the van, straight dick to her jaw
When I'm done, I cut this bitches head off with a
chainsaw!
(Mr. Diamond)
Somebody in a toy car behind me, flashin lights
Mr. Club tossed out a couple sticks'a dynamite
Blew the roof off the car, Its just a pig sittin on
wheels
I shot him in the fo-head, he squeals!
