A classic

if you ever heard windsock and blitzkrieg sing bohemian rhapsody, you'll have some sort of idea of how that meatloaf song sounds in my head in a drunken version...

Donegal Lass

"Holding out for a hero"..... Poor poor people who have to listen to me!!

ickythump

hotel yorba by the white stripes - not an easy feat when your well shteamed

Depends on the level of drunkeness usually.
5-6 pints - Ciggerettes and Alcohol/Roll With It-Oasis.
7-10 Pints - A Boy Named Sue-Johnny Cash.
10+ Pints - Knockin On Heavens Door-Guns N Roses.
Undetermined Number of Pints and a variety of spirits - Come Out Ye Black and Tans/Go Home Brittish Soldiers/Whiskey In The Jar-Various Artists.

Alter-Ego

There's many songs.

American Pie
The Wild Rover
The Auld Triangle
and my personal favourite, Feel Good hit of the summer by QOTSA

Nicotine, valium, vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy and alcohol... c-c-c-c-c-cocaine

Black Swan

I don't have one yet, but my Da has one called "A Tribute to John Foster Dullas" by the Kingston Trio. It's from the 60s when he was young with parts of it not very PC, so I can't share all the lyrics here. Maybe just a bit...

"We can be thankful
Tranquil and proud
That man's been endowed
With the mushroomed shaped cloud."

And I know for certain
That some lovely day
Someone will touch the spark off
And we will all be blown away!"


Goes grand with a pint of Guinness in hand!



*Jeremiah 16:1 and DamoElDiablo: As you can see my memory is back as is Bad B!ue, sooooo look out!:eek:

Statso

Green fields of France from the Fureys probably.

Maybe someday I'll go back again to Ireland
If my dear old wife would only pass away
She nearly has my heart broke with her naggin'
She's got a mouth as big as Galway Bay

To see her drinking sixteen pints of Arthur Guinness
And then she can walk out without a sway
If the sea was beer instead of salty water
She'd live and die in Galway Bay

See her drinking sixteen pints at Pat Joe Murphy's
The barman says "I think it's time to go!"
Well she doesn't try to answer him in Gaelic,
But in a language that the clergy should not know!

On her back she has tattooed a map of Ireland
And when she takes her bath on Saturday
She rubs the Sunlight soap around by Claddagh
Just to watch the suds flow down by Galway Bay


A certain Galway university has a lot to answer for ...


Oh, and there's another from the same source which I can only remember when well oiled, but which includes the immortal refrain:

Ru-u-ule Britann-ia! Britannia rules the waves!
Shove five Chinese crackers up your bum, go: Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Ohh.... she had a wooden leg,
T'was hollow in the middle,
She used to tie a string in it,
and play it like a fiddle!
She fiddled in the hall,
She fiddled in the alleyway,
She didn't give a damn,
She had to fiddle anyway!

She said she couldn't dance
Unless she had her wellie on,
But when she had them on
She could dance as good as anyone
She wouldn't go to bed
Unless she had her shimmy on
But when she had it on
She would go as quick as anyone

She had lovers by the score,
Every Tom and Dick and Harry,
She was courting night and day,
But still she wouldn't marry.
And then she fell in love
With a fella with a strammer
When he tried to run away,
She hit him with a hammer

She had childer up the stairs,
She had childer in the brier,
And another ten or twelve,
Sat roaring by the fire
She fed them on potatoes
And on soup she made with nettles
Or lumps of hairy bacon
That she boiled up in a kettle

She led a sheltered life
Eating porridge and black pudding
She terrorised her man
Until he died right sudden
And when her husband died,
She was feeling very sorry
She rolled him in a bag
And she threw him in a quarry

Hmmm ... is that a rammer or a stammer? ... or a combination of both?

Generally its 'Burning for You' by Blue Oyster Cult. Though most of the time i just forgo the lyrics and sing the guitar bit.

'dew new nununu NEW NEW NEW NUNU'

Bon Jovi Living on a prayer... I can hear the music now:)

guinnessdrinker

If drunk in the summer, "oh yeah" by Ash, or during other times of the year a variety of songs with easy to sing choruses such as "oro se do bheath abhaile". We just sing chourses when we're drunk don't we? not full renditions?

jdivision

I sing away to Interpol. If I had to get up and sing I'd probably do Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode because he's nearly talking in that (my singing voice cracks mirrors) and I don't know all the lyrics to We don't need nobody else by Whipping boy
