Your favourite drinking songs?

[vonnagy]

I dusted off my cd collection and dropped them off at a mates in the country. We listened to alot tunes from my uni days, and I heard a couple of great drinking sing-a-longs:

Drivin & Cryin: Straight to Hell
REM: Its the end of of the world as we know it

(lol, the REM one is great song to sing when you are sloshed, the only words I remember are 'jellybean' and 'Leonard & Bernstein') When I was in an Australian pub, there was a this great Slim Dusty song oldtimers sang at the pub, but I forgot the song

What are your favourite songs to sing when you are drinking?

 

[tsien]

Every Swede knows this song:

Helan går,
sjung hoppfarallallallallallej
Helan går,
sjung hoppfarallallallej
Den som inte helan tar,
den inte heller halfvan får.
Helan går. [now gulp down your shot of alcohol]
Sjung hoppfarallallallallej.

The song means something like: "You have to drink the whole shot, otherwise you can't even have half a shot."

And the lines I would recite from R.E.M.:

"Blood from a stone
Water from wine.
Born under earplay design.
A stroke of bad luck,
wrong place, wrong time.
This flyer is out of the lime."

Vote for change!

In Heaven there is no beer
That's why we drink it here
and if we are gone from here
our friends will be drinking all our beer.

I'm surprised that Roxane hasn't been mentioned yet. I'm not a big fan of the song, but I've gotten pretty drunk along to that song a few times.

ah, roxanne, that's been more of drinking game for me: The guys chug their shots when he sings 'Roxanne' and the girls chug theirs at 'Red Light'. It gets pretty chaotic at the end!
