The song was originally released in 1976 on their album Jailbreak. Reception"It was 1976 and we were touring America," recalled Scott Gorham. "Jailbreak wasn't shifting and we weren't selling any tickets – but there we were, gigging around… The manager came in and told us, 'Well guys, it looks like you have a hit record'… Our response was, 'Wow! Which song are you talking about?' When he replied, 'The Boys Are Back in Town', it was a case of "Really?" We'd demoed maybe 15 songs and 'The Boys Are Back in Town' wasn't among the ten that we chose for the album, which in some ways made it a double surprise. We owe it all to two DJs in Louisville, Kentucky. They fell in love with the fucking song and played it incessantly until other stations in the surrounding area picked up on it… Had that song not kickstarted the sales of the album, then the band was over."[1] It was given 499th position among the 2004 Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time,[2] though was not included in the 2010 update. Rolling Stone praised lead singer Phil Lynott's "Gaelic soul" and said the "twin-guitar lead by Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson" was "crucial to the song's success".[3] The song is played at most Irish Rugby matches,[4] and has appeared in numerous commercials, television shows, feature films and television shows. In March 2005, Q magazine placed "The Boys Are Back in Town" at No. 38 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks.[5] The song won a 1976 NME Award for Best Single.[6] Chart performance{{col-begin|width=75%}}{{col-2}}Weekly charts

Single release informationThe original 1976 UK single release featured the album track "Emerald" as a B-side, although in some territories "Jailbreak" was chosen. The single was remixed and re-released in several formats in March 1991, after the success of the "Dedication" single, reaching No. 63 in the UK.[14] The 12" EP featured the extra tracks "Johnny the Fox Meets Jimmy the Weed", "Black Boys on the Corner" and a live version of "Me and the Boys". There are many theories regarding the inspiration behind "The Boys Are Back in Town", although none has been verified.[15] One theory is that it is about the Quality Street Gang.[16] 2012 RNC useAt the 2012 Republican National Convention, the song was used to introduce Vice-Presidential Candidate Paul Ryan on stage. This unauthorized use of the song caused controversy. Both Lynott's mother, Philomena Lynott, and Thin Lizzy lead guitarist Scott Gorham criticised its use, suggesting that Lynott would not have wanted his music used for any political use, including endorsing politicians, and furthermore would likely have objected to the policies of Ryan and his running mate Mitt Romney.[17][18] References1. ^Barton, Geoff, Dome, Malcolm, Kendall, Jo, Ling, Dave: "The night I set Phil Lynott's todger on fire and other stories"; Classic Rock #219, February 2016, p55 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/500songs/page/5|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090330202021/http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/500songs/page/5|archivedate=March 30, 2009|title= The RS 500 Greatest Songs of All Time (1-500)|work=Rolling Stone|date=December 9, 2004}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/6596344/the_boys_are_back_in_town |title=News |publisher=Rolling Stone |date= |accessdate=2016-07-27}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/fameacademy/songs/89.shtml |title=Comic Relief does Fame Academy - Home |publisher=BBC |date=2014-09-24 |accessdate=2016-07-27}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk/qlistspage3.htm |title=Rocklist.net...Q Magazine Lists |website=Rocklistmusic.co.uk |date= |accessdate=2016-07-27}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.nme.com/awards-history/1976-606201|title=1976 - NME|date=28 February 1976|publisher=}} 7. ^{{cite web|author= |url=http://australian-charts.com/forum.asp?todo=viewthread&id=35092 |title=Forum - 1970 (ARIA Charts: Special Occasion Charts) |website=Australian-charts.com |date= |accessdate=2016-12-04 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160602084720/http://australian-charts.com/forum.asp?todo=viewthread&id=35092 |archivedate=2016-06-02 |df= }} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/films-videos-sound-recordings/rpm/Pages/image.aspx?Image=nlc008388.4289a&URLjpg=http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/obj/028020/f4/nlc008388.4289a.gif&Ecopy=nlc008388.4289a|title=Image : RPM Weekly|first=Library and Archives|last=Canada|date=17 July 2013|publisher=}} 9. ^Joel Whitburn's Top Pop Singles 1955-1990 - {{ISBN|0-89820-089-X}} 10. ^{{cite web |url= http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/rpm/028020-119.01-e.php?&file_num=nlc008388.5173a&type=1&interval=20&PHPSESSID=u9874ano8k0c5b6bkp4r8qrbp3 |title= Top Singles – Volume 26, No. 14 & 15, January 08 1977 |work= RPM |publisher= Library and Archives Canada |accessdate= December 15, 2016 |deadurl= yes |archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20160319222559/http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/rpm/028020-119.01-e.php?&file_num=nlc008388.5173a&type=1&interval=20&PHPSESSID=u9874ano8k0c5b6bkp4r8qrbp3 |archivedate= 19 March 2016 |df= dmy-all }} 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.musicoutfitters.com/topsongs/1976.htm|title=Top 100 Hits of 1976/Top 100 Songs of 1976|website=www.musicoutfitters.com}} 12. ^{{cite web|url=http://tropicalglen.com/Archives/70s_files/1976YESP.html|title=Cash Box YE Pop Singles - 1976|website=tropicalglen.com}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.irishcharts.ie/search/placement?page=1 |title=Irish Charts - Thin Lizzy |publisher=Irishcharts.ie|accessdate=2016-07-27}} 14. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.45cat.com/record/lizzy15 |title=The Boys Are Back in Town (1991) Record details |accessdate=17 June 2011 |publisher=45cat.com}} 15. ^Bailie, Stuart – Jailbreak album sleeve notes 16. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/phil-lynotts-mother-recalls-exciting-855110|title=Phil Lynott's mother recalls exciting days in Manchester|date=28 February 2011|accessdate=23 June 2018|work=Manchester Evening News}} 17. ^{{cite news|last=McDonald|first=Henry|title=Phil Lynott's mother objects to Mitt Romney using Thin Lizzy's music|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2012/sep/03/phil-lynott-mitt-romney-thin-lizzy|newspaper=The Guardian|date=3 September 2012}} 18. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.hotpress.com/news/9172026.html |title=Scott Gorham hits out at Mitt Romney's use of 'The Boys Are Back In Town' | Music | News |publisher=Hot Press |date= |accessdate=2016-07-27}} External links
