Sing Melancholy Baby!
Ah, yes, Amos Milburn. Chicken Shack Boogie.
Wild Rover,
Parting Glass,
Wild Colonial Boy…
Pretty much anything from the Makem/Clancy songbook has been sung by me and my chums both stone cold sober and “quite pissed”, as they say.
Blow Me
Link is to lyrics only.
“One More for the Road” by Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer.
Lots of good suggestions.
No one yet has mentioned one of my faves - Eddie Spaghetti and the Supersuckers. So many great sing-alongs about being drunk and/or stoned, and the aftermath.
Gotta Get Drunk
Misery and Gin
Hungover Together
Must’ve Been High
Killer Weed
Non-Addictive Marijuana
And that is just off of 2 of their albums.
My iPod just churned up the Dubliners’ “Seven Drunken Nights” ("… we’re only allowed to sing five of them"), in which the narrator is so smashed his wife can pass off evidence of her lover as random household objects, like cabbages. “You’re drunk, you’re drunk, you silly old fool …”
Mike Cross’s
The Scotsman

Emma Turl
and Whiskey 'fore Breakfast
and a bunch of his other stuff
Ok, one of my faves:
Let it Bleed by the Rolling Stones
And a terrible tune, but it’s pretty drunken and weird:
Barroom Buddies by Merle Haggard and Clint Eastwood
Friends in Low Places - Garth Brooks
Margaritaville - Jimmy Buffet
I’m partial to “Had Me A Real Good Time” by the Faces:
“My reception wasn’t very keen
So turning on a friendly grin
Stood on the table with my glass of gin
And came straight to the point:
I was glaaaaaaad to come
And I’ll be saaaaaaad to leave
So while I’m here I’ll have me a real good time!”
From opposite ends of the spectrum…
Fat Girls and Weed - Cross Canadian Ragweed
More Beer - Fear
[QUOTE=Tangent;10154245Merry Christmas From The Family by Robert Earl Keen[/QUOTE]
Shoot, anything by Robert Earl Keen Jr. will work. Me? I was thinking of The Road Goes on Forever (and the Party Never Ends)
Wasn’t that a Party - The Irish Rovers
*Could have been the whiskey, might have been the gin.
Could have been three or four six-packs,
I don’t know, but look at the mess I’m in,
My head is like a football, I think I’m gonna die,
Tell me, me oh me oh my,
Wasn’t that a party?
Someone took a grapefruit and wore it like a hat,
I saw someone under my kitchen table, talking to my old tom cat,
They were talking about hockey and the cat was talkin’ back,
Along about then everything went black,
But wasn’t that a party?*
This was our official drinking song in high school…
Covered by the Irish Rovers. Written by Tom Paxton, who also wrote “Bottle of Wine,” covered by the Fireballs.
Good to know… The Rover’s version is all I’ve ever heard. Thanks!

Yee-haw!
King of Beer by Too Much Joy
Man I haven’t thought about those guys in a while. Cereal Killers is a great album and very very underated.
*Hangover *- Max Webster
Fuck You I’m Drunkis always fun to sing along with.
I’m really more of an Alcohol and Pills kinda guy.
