Singing While Drinking/Drinking Songs

DazMarz

What's a great song to get the craic going while having a few brewskis with the lads? ''The Irish Rover'' works wonders I find.

Yet, when we consume drinks, we occassionally think we can actually sing well, and the results can be quite amusing.

I recently made an arse of myself while in a pub with my mates by belting out a paint-peeling version of Whitney Houston's ''One Moment In Time''. I wasn't drunk, in the scrict sense, but wasn't sober either... Wasn't able to show my face in that bar again for a while. But then a mate of mine had a go at Oasis's ''Wonderwall'' (with an acoustic guitar) but forgot the words.

Other songs I've murdered while drinking or doing karaoke:

Europe - ''Final Countdown''
Roy Orbison - ''Pretty Woman''
Slade/Quiet Riot - ''Cum On Feel The Noize''
Traditional - ''Oh Holy Night''
Queen - ''Bohemian Rhapsody'' (attempting to do all vocal parts solo)...

Anyone else?:D

For some reason, amongst our friends, the song Foxtrot, uniform, charlie, kilo by Bloodhound Gang has been our drunken song of choice recently. It never fails to crack us up. I highly recommend it!

I was at a bar watching Dropkick Murphy, a Boston band. During the set they sing a song, Kiss Me I'm Sh!tfaced, and invite all the girls who want to dance up on stage.

So, there I am sipping a Guiness, greatly amused when I see my little darlin' daughter up on stage. Bellowing at the top of her lungs into the lead singers face "So kiss me, I'm Sh!tfaced! I'm Soaked, I'm Soiled, I'm Brown!"

Good Times!

My mates and I tend to sing real Irish/Dubliners songs, such as Dublin In the Rare Auld times, The Black Velvet, and Monto.

My Personal Fav


A Drinking song - The Divine Comedy

Back at the house
A bottle is found
And opened in honour of those who have drowned,
While we who have not are stricken with guilt
And dutifully see that not one drop is spilt;
We're drinking to life,
We're drinking to death -
We're drinking 'til none of our livers are left!
We're wending our way down to the spirit store,
We'll drink 'til we just can't drink anymore!
Raise your glasses high,
Drink the cellar dry!
Well, bloody my nose
And blacken my eye!
If it ain't some young Turk in search of a fight -
And Chanticleer's chest is sagging with pride,
For honour has yet to be satisfied.
Well, heaven be thanked
We live in an age
When no man need bother
(Except on the stage)
With 'Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori' -
And definitely not tonight!
I can still remember
When I was just a kid -
I was free to do what I wanted to,
But I never, ever did...
So now with years of discretion reached,
May we not forget
Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité
For there's life in the old world yet!
There'll always be an England (oh yes there will),
An Ireland and a France (indubitably),
A Liechtenstein and Finland (absolutely right, completely undeniable),
And we have only one chance...
Earnest young man with an unhealthy tan
Puts a drink in my hand and says:
"I understand
You're in search of the place
To continue the chase
Of the heavenly taste?
I suggest in that case
You all come with me
To my place by the sea
Where the glasses shall be overflowing with free (Spoken)
Alcoholic delights -
And free love if you like -
For what point has this life
If you can't realise you're dreams?!"
Oh, raise your glasses high,
And drink the town dry!
We'll drink beyond the boundaries of sense!
We'll drink 'til we start to see lovely pink elephants
Inside our heads, inside our beds -
Inside the threads of our pyjama legs -
So don't shoot til you see the reds of our eyes
And an army of elephants marching behind!
From the day I was born 'til the night I will die
All my lovers will be pink and elephantine!
