First of the lists... TOP 5 DRINKING SONGS

I LOVE top five lists. Everyone always teases me because my life is a ridiculously close parallel of the movie High Fidelity with John Cusac. If you really want to get to know me, watch that movie.

I think five is just the right number. Not too high, not too low. Everyone can take in and absorb all five no problem. You use ten, it's a little tedious and most poeple just skim through them, ignoring any comments, etc. Three is just too short. Seven is almost safe, because the human brain can absorb seven seperate small pieces of information before they start to drop off of the immediate memory. So to be safe, I stick with five.

Alright, so first of my AF top five lists...

NAME YOUR TOP FIVE DRINKING SONGS
(And reasoning if you'd like)

I'll throw mine down after a few posts.

In no particular order....

-Mad Caddies- Drink and Fight
-Snoop Dogg- Gin and Juice
-2Pac- Hennessy
-Reel Big Fish- Beer
-Metallica- Whiskey In the Jar

Lamb of God-Ruin
For when I want to get into belligerent drunk mode
Slayer-Angel of Death
When I feel the need to headbang excessively
Metallica-Whiskey in the Jar
Old Irish drinking song covered by the greatest band ever
Metallica-No Remorse
Convinces me the hangover will be worth it tomorrow
Black Label Society-Stoned and Drunk
You figure it out.

Dropkick Murphy's sing some pretty sweet drinking songs.

AC/DC-" Have a drink on me"
Willie Nelson- "Whiskey River"
Eric Burdon-" Spill the wine"
Jimmy Buffet-"Margaritaville"
UB40- "Red Red Wine"

Mine are as follows. A few are kind of obscure... All GREAT songs though.

1. Dropkick Murphy's - Kiss me, I'm Shitfaced
I LOVE this song. If I'm trashed, and I can find this song, my night is complete and even the worst hangover is worth it.
2. Twista - Drinks
badass club/party drinking song
3. Willy Nelson - Whiskey River
gotta have the classics. It's sacrilege not to have this at least in your top ten.
4. Garth Brooks - Friends in Low Places
Some of my greatest memories of being drunk with friends is everyone singing this.
5. Dean Martin - Lil' Ol' Wine Drinker Me
If you don't know this, get to. One of the best drinking songs of all time, largely overlooked, and by one of the most famous singers of all time. Don't argue with the rat pack, bitch.

floggin molly has some good drinkin songs. i can't think of drinkin songs right now

Clint Black Nothing's News
Clint Black Winding Down
Clint Black Killin' Time
Clint Black Live and Learn
Merle Haggard Swinging Doors
Merle Haggard Misery and Gin
Merle Haggard I Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink
Merle Haggard Reasons to Quit


Ooops! That was 8. Oh well, I'm drinkin' Jack Black & listening to Clint Black & Merle Haggard, so those are my favorites right now.

Ever notice most of the "drinking theme" songs just happen to be from the country-western genre?

my top five drinking songs are the first five songs i hear after i decide (or realize) that i'm actually drunk. because then i have this silly notion that i can sing, and that i can sing well. and i enjoy that feeling of thinking i'm good at something, especially if i'm good at it while drunk. even if i'm not really good at it, i enjoy the illusion.
but if i had to pick five songs to be the first five while i'm drunk? here they are in no particular order:

1. ac/dc - "thunderstruck"
2. ying yang twins - "salt shaker" (i think that's what it's called!)
3. senses fail - "rum is for drinking, not for burning"
4. fall out boy - "xo"
5. the get up kids - "beer for breakfast"

I can only think of one, although I love Ruin by Lamb of God ;)

Children of Bodom - Somebody Put Something In My Drink
GREAT song. Even good at parties!

Ever notice most of the "drinking theme" songs just happen to be from the country-western genre?

ofcourse :D

"Bliss" by Th' Dudes - It's a song about drinking, duh...

"April Sun in Cuba" by Dragon - classic song, classic band... always makes me think of mojitos and montecristos on a balmy summer evening...

"Khe Sanh" by Cold Chisel - try spending some time in SE Asia and return to a life more ordinary...

"Closing Time" by Semisonic - you spend as many times as I have at the 'last call for alcohall [sic]'... you'd get the picture

"Last Goodbye" by Jeff Buckley

Smokin whiskey and drinking Cocain-Pat Travers
Whiskey drinking woman-Nazareth
Whiskey for my men and beer for my horses-Toby Keith.

In no particular order

Dropkick Murphys- Wild Rover
(pretty much all of their stuf is good to drink to)
Flogging Molly- If i ever leave this world alive
(ditto)
Street Dogs- 2 bottles

the business- Guiness boys

lars frederiksen and the bastards- bastards

Ever notice most of the "drinking theme" songs just happen to be from the country-western genre?
