Eight years later his version has almost 60 million Spotify streams and almost 40 million on YouTube. Yet here he is, only doing his first interview about it all now.
The majority of people aged 20-30 know who MC Pat Flynn is. The Waterford man has a huge following to this day and his most famous tune is closing in on 100 million listens.
It was so big that naturally a wave of remixes followed it, and that is when a young buck from St John's Park in Kilcohan dropped into the picture. Not long after George, Pat's version titled 'Get on Your Kneez' came out and he captured his own audience - it became a boy racer anthem while youngsters would throw it on right as the predrinks hit the peak part of the night. There was a huge amount of love for it.
From Kilcohan just south of Waterford city, he tells us how he first heard Philip George's 'I Wish You Were Mine' while scrolling Facebook, and he just wanted to have a bit of fun with it more than anything else. "He put me in touch with a man called Murka Murcury. He had a studio in his garage on his house. It was my first time going into one ever.
"My first booking was in The Pumphouse in Kilkenny I think. There was loads of people there and it went a bit mental. "I don't know why but I never got asked for festivals. I only got to play one in my home town. I never got to do Electric Picnic or Longitude or anything like that, but I'd love to get the chance."
"Lynchy is grand now, we were actually supposed to make a track together a few years ago but I've not been in touch with him for a while. Since the country started opening back up he's been back making tunes, and thankfully the royalties off his previous work have been enough to get him and the family by.
"I get gigs, and that along with the money I get from Spotify with my other songs it gets me by. I don't make a lot from Spotify but it's enough to live. Over the years I was always good at putting money away too.
