OHHHHHH

I drank sixteen doubles for the price of one, trying to find the courage to talk to the one I asked her for a dance not a second glance my night had just begun WELL I drink to the father and the holy ghost kneeling at the altar of the nightly post so I'll raise a glass not the first or last come join me in this toast because the ol' black rum's got a hold of meeeee



I've known the words to that song since I was four or so.

That is awesome, both the song and the fact you've known it since you were 4.



Bottle to the ground - nofx

Oh by the way whats the song called I kind of want to learn it.

It's called Old Black Rum (by Great Big Sea, from Newfoundland.)



I consider this a drinking song.

this is old black rum

also, Gogol Bordello's Alcohol

I think you could consider Gogol Bordello's entire career to be one long drinking song

that's not old black rum.

this is.

sorry.

Some shanties.

Gogol Bordello.

Dropkick Murphys.

You gotta have that lame Asher Roth "I love college" song on it. It's all about drinking

Actually, there was a series of compilations out in Australia called Best Ever Beer songs. I think it's been replaced by 101 Beer Drinking Songs. I'll try and find a tracklist. They're not all about drinking, some of them are just about being a bogan.

Yeah, actually barely any are about drinking, but Chumbawuba's Tubthumping obviously jumps out at me.

Down Under?!?!

I come from a land down under

Where beer does flow and men chunder

Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?

You better run, you better take cover.

Oh, I never read the lyrics.



I only knew:

I come from a land down under

something something

I can't make it out

boodibop boodibopop

Most of those songs aren't about drinking anyway.



They're just songs that we drink beer to. So because drinking beer is the ultimate expression of Aussie pride and patriotism and because that song is too and because it was the unofficial themesong to the victory of Australia II in the America's cup and because everyone, including our Prime Minister, who holds a beer-drinking record got so drunk that day that the Prime Minister had to call a public holiday for the day after it definitely stands as a beer-drinking song.

Thin Lizzy (or Metallica) - Whiskey in a jar

Gil Scot-Heron - The Bottle

Sorry, Whiskey in the jar

The Whitlams - God Drinks at the Sando (Not on Youtube or anywhere else as far as I can find.) When did imeem get bought by myspace?

DAMMIT JOHN!!! I WAS JUST GOING TO POST THAT!!!



really, most anything by the Pogues.



and lol @ that video

I figure there must be lots of Johnny Cash songs about drinking, but I don't really know him that well. Maybe they'd be better than this one, because it's more of a morning after lament than a singalong about how great drinking is while you're drinking.

Damn it, that's not supposed to be that. It's supposed to be Sunday Morning Coming Down.

Reel Big Fish - Beer



Brad Paisley - Alcohol



David Lee Murphy - Dust on the Bottle

This blog worked out far better than I imagined, thanks everyone.

There was too many posts in here for me to read on a Saturday morning, I am feeling lazy! But, if it hasn't already been suggested, Cigarettes and Alcohol by Oasis.

Red, red wine by ub40... haha

I laughed too. Who takes a song that is so clearly about drinking wine and puts it on an album supposedly about drinking beer?

awful
