Drinking songs!

So what is your drinking song? The song that comes on at the pub and you just go crazy to or absoloutly love... But specifically when you hear it at the pub its better! Or you hear it when you at home and makes you want to be at the pub with your buddies with a cold beer in your hand, and a packet of peanuts in your other hand!

Mine used to be Thin Lizzy - Boys are back in town.

But its now:

George Thorogood - One Bourbon One Scotch One Beer

You were right to begin with.

Boys are back in town is quite possibly the finest song ever.

But if I'm really drunk then "I would walk 500 miles" tends to be the song that turns the pub into an twirling frenzy.

I know a good song about "Being on the good ship Venus" too but I think it's a bit rude for here.

I'm going to beat DMP to it - anything by The Macc Lads

Dinomania · 24 May 2006 at 11:06

There's lots of songs that get me going when ******, I have to admit singing my (loud) way through SOAD's Chop Suey! always makes me feel pretty satisfied

Otherwise, y'all want a proper drinking mantra:

"Jawohl, jawohl,
Wir trinken Alkohol,
Wir haben keine Wasser,
So wir trinken Alkohol!"

Sung loudly in a loop. Fun! Bizarrely taught to me by a bunch of Danes, not Germans.

Denis Leary - Traditional Irish Folk Song

They come over here
And they take all our land
They chop off our heads
And they boil them in oil
Our children are leaving
And we have no heads
We drink and we sing
And we drink and we die

We have no heads
We have no heads

They come over here
And they chop off our legs
They cut off our hands
And put nails in our eyes
O'Grady is dead
And O'Hanrahan's gone
We drink and we die
And continue to drink

O'Hanrahan
No O'Hanrahan

They buried O'Neil
Down in country Shillhame
The poor children crying
And fe dee din de
Hin fle di dinfle
Di din fle de din de
In hey bibble bibble
Hey bibble bibble
Hey fle bibble de

O'Hanrahan
No O'Hanrahan

We drink and we sing
And we drink and we sing
Hey!

We drink and we drive
And we puke and we drink
Hey!

We drink and we fight
And we bleed and we cry
Hey!

We puke and we smoke
And we drink and we die
Hey!
