I’m not much for the bar scene, but when I’m drinking at home I fill the CD changer with Tom Waits.
Auld Lang Syne
e-o-d (end of discussion)
Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond!!!
**Swe-e-e-e-e-e-t Ca-ro-line!!!

The all time, let-every-one whoop, cry-in-your-beer, let-it-all-hand-out tavern song is:
Oh-ho, come, come, come, come
Come to the church in the wild wood,
Oh come to the church in the vale.
Oh-ho no spot is so dear to my chi-hildhood
As that little brown church in the vale.
Where is it that Barrett’s Privateers is on the juke box? I want to go to that bar.
NOW I remember why I avoid Iowa…

Let me submit 2 of the songs that have always gotten rave reviews at the titty bars I frequent:
"Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw" by HRH Jimmy Buffet
and “Family Tradition” by Hank Williams, JR.
"Hank, why do you drink? TO GET DRUNK!!
"Hank, why do you smoke? TO GET HIGH!!
The two that popped into my mind immediately were
Lola
Freebird
Paradise By The Dashboard Light~Meatloaf
Bad to the Bone~George Thorogood
Black Velvet~Alannah Myles
One Way Or Another~Blondie
I Touch Myself~Divinyls
I Melt With You~Modern English
Keep 'Em Separated~ forget who sings this
ack, I could name tons. This is quite sad considering I have not even stepped foot in a bar in a few years.
Mobile phone commercials aside, when I was in New Orleans in January, the place exploded when “Pour some sugar on me” came on.
For bars with a dance floor, “Baby got back” usually gets the females out there. They love to flaunt their booties to that song.
ladycarrie,
like you, I haven’t stepped into a bar in years (I hate cigarette smoke).
But I have to agree 110% that I Melt With You by Modern English is an all-time great song!

‘One more for the road’ - Frank Sinatra, ofcourse.
By the time the bars closes here, you’re way too tired to sing out loud.
Oh, I almost forgot.
I’m Too Sexy by Right Said Fred always gets 'em rowdy!
It may be a regional thing, but Straight to Hell by Drivin’ and Cryin’ gets 'em going 'round here.
I’m going straight to Hell
Just like my mama said
I’m going straaaaiiiight to Hell…
Hundred bottles of beer on the wall;
hundred bottles of beer;
you take one down and pass it around;
99 bottles of beer on the wall.
Guaranteed to peter out at about 80.
Brown Eyed Girl
or
Werewolves of London
What? No one has mentioned “Louie Louie”???
To Anacreon In Heav’n
Uh, Ya’ll should be a shamed; no ones said:
American Pie By Don Mclean(sp?)
Now goto your local bar and play that song three time in a row immediately!
I saw that referenced back on page one somewhere.
Another good one is You Shook Me All Night Long
There’s always “Garry Owen”
