Drinkin' Songs

[Godfatha]

So, on the 22nd, before I go away for a few weeks, we're having a big drinking party (pre-gaming it then going to the bar). What I was wondering is what sort of songs are out there for drinking? Any suggestions? I have a bunch already on my computer but I'm bored of them.

[Turbo Yannis]

Viking Skull have a song called "Beer, Drugs, Bitches" which could be considered a drinking song.

[K]

Offspring have a bunch of drinking songs.

One Fine Day from the Conspiracy Of One album, for example.

[MDK]

Most of the Microstars album by Apocalypse Hoboken. Its all about alcohol and sex, brilliant.

[Ace]

any song can be drank to....

"Irish Drinking Song" by DaVinci's Notebook

[NobBe Nobbs]

Pretty much anything by Flogging Molly. They're Irish, and if the stereotypes have anything to say, it's that Irish people are green, like the guys in the Wizard of Oz

[apsham]

Great Big Sea "The Night That Paddy Murphy Died"

Flogging Molly "Salty Dog"

Those are just two from each bad, Great Big Sea is big on the fast Celtic styled music that comes from Newfoundland and I am sure that you have heard from Flogging Molly.

[Skummy]

Damien Dempsey - "Jar Song".

Wonderful.

[YI]

"Pints of Guiness Make You Strong" - Against Me!

[Enter Blue Guy]

To me, the best drinking songs are older songs everybody knows and loves and are easy to sing along to. Simple as that.

Not "traditional" drinking music, but favorites of me and my friends during pre-boozin' and on the ride downtown.

Hotel California by the Eagles

Summer of 69 by Bryan Adams

Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd

Why Can't We Be Friends by War

Lean on Me by Al Green

Hard to Say I'm Sorry by Chicago

Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi

More Than a Feeling by Boston

Don't Stop Believing by Journey

The Weight by the Band

I dunno, that's the way it usually works with us. You can guess how cool we look driving down to the clubs downtown blasting Chicago and Journey full blast.

[Rage]

Whiskey in the Jar- Thin Lizzy

[ravenjuice]

Metallica > thin lizzy

Reel Big Fish have at least three. Drinkin', Beer and Drunk Again, they prolly have more, thats all I've got though.

[ACCBiggz]

I would say just gather all the friends... and then proceed with the classic.

99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall

[WS1]

Oasis - Cigarettes and Alcohol (Y)

[VerbalPuke]

Metallica > thin lizzy

Reel Big Fish have at least three. Drinkin', Beer and Drunk Again, they prolly have more, thats all I've got though.

The Dubliners > both Thin and Lizzy and Metallica.

The Dubliners - Whiskey In the Jar

Irish Rovers - Nancy Whiskey

Irish Rovers - Whiskey on a Sunday

Irish Rovers - Drunken Sailor

Irish Rovers - Whiskey You're the Divil

Irish Rovers - Goodbye Mick, Goodbye Pat

Gaelic Storm - Johnny Jump Up (Morrison's Jig)

Gaelic Storm - Johnny Tar

Wolfe Tones - Come Out Ye Black and Tan

Wolfe Tones - Celtic Symphony

The Doors - Alabama Song

Chaos UK - The Alcoholic

The Pogues - Bottle of Smoke

Peter and the Test Tube Babies - Banned From the Pubs

Oi Polloi - Punx Picnic in Prince's Street Gardens

The Mentors - Forty Ouncer

Some of it is Irish folk, some of it is punk, some of it isn't. It's a pretty good variety of stuff that you can sift through and decide on.

Thanks to all of you. I got what I needed from this list.

Judging from the posts, EBG is most like me in that I like songs that we can drunkenly sing along to. Now we have them.

Time to blast Bohemian Rhapsody while the DD tries not to get pissed off at our drunken singing.
