1) DUSTIN (더스틴) is a Kpop boy group that debuted on January 6th, 2020 with the single ‘Burn‘, under LPA Entertainment. On May 24, 2021, their disbandment was announced. However, on December 26, 2021 it was announced that the group will be active again. The current line up consists of: Siu, Mini, Win, Lake and Seunggi.
2) Dustin the Turkey is a popular character on the RTE children's programme, The Den, since the 1980s. He has lasted for so long as he appeals to both children and adults.
He makes appearances outside of The Den, including an annual appearance on The Late Late Show Toy Show special at Christmas where he makes fun of the show's regular host Pat Kenny, as he did with the previous host, Gay Byrne. More recently he has turned his attention to other Irish television personalities, such as Eddie Hobbs, Ryan Tubridy and Derek Mooney. A surprisingly provocative character, while he has toned it down in recent years Dustin would often make some insulting remarks about various Irish celebrities and the services provided by RTÉ, and would say a lot of 'dodgy' things about politics and their practises that sometimes made one wonder how he got away with it. Insults targeted at County Leitrim came particularly thick and fast.
In September 2005, after 18 years, Dustin 'left' The Den and got his own show, Dustins Daily News.
He has released several albums usually to raise money for well known Irish charities.
These albums have featured backing vocals from many Irish stars including Bob Geldof and Boyzone. Many of his songs are parodies of either folk songs or well known chart hits from across the decades.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A man after my own heart a true Dubliner
Put your hands together for Mr Ronnie Drew
As I went outthrough Dublin City
At the hour of twelve at night
Who should I meet but the Spanish lady
Washing her feet by the candlelight
First she washed them, then she dried them
Over a fire of amber coal
In all me life I ne'er did see
A maid so sweet around the soul
Whack for the Too Rye, ooh, Ray lady
Whack for the Too Rye, ooh, Rye aye
Whack for the Too Rye, ooh, Ray lady
Whack for the Too Rye, ooh, Rye aye
(Take it away, Dustin)
As I came back to Dublin City
At the hour of half past eight
Bumped into the Spanish lady
Because her bus was runnin' late
I said "Coolock" she said "James Gate"
Why don't we go for a bite to ate?
We'll be followed by a geezer
With a big grey beard
I hope he isn't one of your mates
Whack for the Too Rye, ooh, Ray lady
Whack for the Too Rye, ooh, Rye aye
Whack for the Too Rye, ooh, Ray lady
Whack for the Too Rye, ooh, Rye aye
As I went round old Dublin City
As the sun began to set
Who should I meet but the Spanish lady
Catching a moth, in a golden net
When she spied me, quick she fled me
Lifting her petticoat o'er her knee
(Aw ya boy ye Ronnie)
In all me life I ne'er did see
A maid so gay as the Spanish lady
Whack for the Too Rye, ooh, Ray lady
Whack for the Too Rye, ooh, Rye aye
Whack for the Too Rye, ooh, Ray lady
Whack for the Too Rye, ooh, Rye aye
Whack for the Too Rye, ooh, Ray lady
(Hey Ronnie is that the Saw Doctors, is it?)
Whack for the Too Rye, ooh, Rye aye

Whack for the Too Rye, ooh, Ray lady
(Who let yous into the studio?)
Whack for the Too Rye, ooh, Rye aye
(Hey, ah, Leo, outta here! This is a Dublin
Song meself and Ronnie)
No, listen, listen, listen, Dustin, listen

Eh, eh, hands off I saw her first
Right on your merry way
Listen, listen I don't wanna cause any fuss

Lads, I don't wanan cause any fuss (no fuss)
But would she come home with us (with us)
Bring her back on Burt's bus
Hey! Turkey! Turkey! Rubbed and stuffed
(What?) turkey! Turkey! Grilled in curry
(Hold on, stall) turkey! Turkey! Oven ready
(Would you not have a goose or
Somethin'? Or a ham sanwich, or somethin')
Whack for the Too Rye, ooh, Ray lady

As I went out through Dublin City
As I was walking through Dublin City
At the hour of twelve at night
It was midnight
Who should I meet but the Spanish lady
I met a lady who was from Spain
Washing her feet by the candlelight
She was washing her feet with the help of candlelight
First she washed them, then she dried them
She washed her feet and then dried them
Over a fire of amber coal
She walked over burning coals to get to the fire
In all me life I ne'er did see
I have never seen
A maid so sweet around the soul
A girl so kind in spirit
Whack for the Too Rye, ooh, Ray lady
This is just a repeated chant
As I came back to Dublin City
As I returned back to Dublin City
At the hour of half past eight
It was eight thirty in the evening
Bumped into the Spanish lady
I accidentally ran into the Spanish lady
Because her bus was runnin' late
Her bus was running late
I said "Coolock" she said "James Gate"
I mentioned Coolock and she mentioned James Gate
Why don't we go for a bite to ate?
Why don't we get something to eat?
We'll be followed by a geezer
We'll be followed by a man
With a big grey beard
He has a large grey beard
I hope he isn't one of your mates
I hope he isn't one of your friends
As I went round old Dublin City
As I roamed around old Dublin City
As the sun began to set
Sunset was approaching
Catching a moth, in a golden net
She was catching a moth with a golden net
When she spied me, quick she fled me
When she saw me, she ran away quickly
Lifting her petticoat o'er her knee
She raised her skirt above her knee
In all me life I ne'er did see
I have never seen
A maid so gay as the Spanish lady
A girl who was so lively as the Spanish lady
Hey! Turkey! Turkey! Rubbed and stuffed
This is just a chant about Turkey
Whack for the Too Rye, ooh, Ray lady
This is just a repeated chant
Sure what would you know about Dublin Dustin?
What do you know about Dublin Dustin?
I'm tellin' ye me blood's blue, Ronnie
I'm telling you that I'm Irish, Ronnie
And what about the Theatre Royal?
What do you think about the Theatre Royal?
Ah, it's all the Pod now, I tell ya
It's all about the Pod now, let me tell you
And, what, we have the DART now
We have the DART now, right?
No, listen, listen, listen, Dustin, listen
Listen to me Dustin
What's that Spanish one's name?
What is the name of the Spanish girl?
Eh, eh, hands off I saw her first
Stop, I saw her first
I don't wanna cause any fuss (no fuss)
I don't want to cause any trouble
But would she come home with us? (with us)
Would she come home with us?
The bus is goin'
The bus is leaving
Sorry, can you just hang on a second?
Sorry, can you wait for a second?
The only reason you're singing on this is
You are only singing so that I look better
If you're not careful I'll ate ya for Christmas
If you are not careful, I will eat you for Christmas
