The song you sing when drunk

Den_M · 23-01-2008 9:56pm #1

Simple as it sounds - what song do you choose to massacre when you've had one too many?

For me it's 'Killing Me Softly' by the Fugees, which is unfortunate because it's a hard song to sing sober, let alone whilst flutered.

monkeyfudge · 23-01-2008 9:59pm

Usually something by The Monkees, predictably enough.

Zapp Brannigan · 23-01-2008 9:59pm

Hey Jude is always a good one.
If someone has a guitar it's always a challenge to try The Hurricane. I've made it passed the fourth verse once, but I usually always forget the lyrics and skip towards the end.

Depends what song I'm learning at the time.

Once I learn/get bored with a song, I move on to a new one and subsequently forget one I just learned.

Yes I suck. Currently, It would be Ryan Adams - Come pick me up.

For some reason, my friends and I went through a phase of singing Sunday School songs when drunk. That was a bizarre time... poor taxi drivers!

The other song I tend to sing drunk is "More than Words" by extreme.

GrahamThomas · 23-01-2008 10:16pm

When very drunk, I've been known to belt out the Saw Doctors "Green And Red of Mayo" on the Nitelink home....I know I know, I should be ashamed of myself!

GLaDOS · 23-01-2008 10:17pm

"You spin me right round baby right round like a record baby...."

Inspired by meatspin

Drunken night in Dublin by The Mahones. Very funny song about a shennanigans filled night of drinking.

rain on · 23-01-2008 10:19pm

Umbrella.

And "Timmy timmy more, timmy more, timmy timmy more" to our mate Tim to the tune of Gimme More by Britney Spears. Also "Timmy timmy timmy a man after midnight" hahahaha

Den_M · 23-01-2008 10:21pm

Another I tend to shame is Waltzing Matilda the Pogues way.

Crumble Froo · 24-01-2008 12:10pm

do you love me? do you love forever, do you need me, will you always need me, will you make me so happy for the rest of my life will you take me away WILL YOU MAKE ME YOUR WIFE?!

Me too. I insist on boring everyone to sobriety by singing every last word of it.

24-01-2008 12:12pm

I used to always sing 500 Miles by the Proclaimers. Gets the croud going !

Wazdakka · 24-01-2008 12:20pm

Bohemian Rhapsody...
Always a good one for a crowd of drunken lemmings on the massively underestimated walk home or to a taxi...
We normally save the head banging backseat shannagins for when a mate is driving us home..
so many times he has nearly lost control of the car cause of the bouncing...

minidazzler · 24-01-2008 12:26pm

Last night it was "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" because I was at a 60's night!!!! I had my own tie dye and my head is killin me, Great night!!!!!!
