9. Molly Malone
This haunting song has become the unofficial anthem of Dublin City. It tells the tale of a fishmonger who dies young of a fever but who caught the hearts of people in the streets of the city. Rumor has it that there was a real Molly Malone from the 17th century. The best-known version is by The Dubliners.
