Hey guys, I have the dubious honor of organizing my pals bachelor party. Consequently, I’m trying to put together a good mix tape to play as the soundtrack to our male bonding, sexist good time. (All in good fun of course)  
Some songs I’ve thought of so far: Love Stinks, Chaingang, The Wanderer, and Tequilla (pee wee song)  
Any other songs you could suggest for this sordid event?

Where’s Omni or android when you need them? I’m sure they’d be able to help you out. Seeing as I’m a chick, I have no good suggestions, however…

Can’t help with the recorded songs, but if you might want to sing a bit yourself, I might recommend [http://www.half-mind.com](http://www.half-mind.com) - click on “Download the Half-mind Hymnal”. These texts range from the risqué over the dirty to the just plain sick.

I recommending lots of Billy Idol, George Thorogood, Aerosmith, ZZ Top, Dick Dale, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Weird Al Yankovic. Stick with the up tempo stuff. _Black Velvet_’s a good song for the stripper.

A few verses of “Barnacle Bill, the Sailor” are _always_ appropriate at a bachelor party.

[singing] "I’ll use my cock to pick the lock,  
says Barnacle Bill, the Sailor…

I’ll swing my bals and break the walls,  
says Barnacle Bill, the Sailor…" [/singing]

Hmmmmmmmm . . . .

“My Ding-A-Ling” by Chuck Berry

“Friends In Low Places” a la Garth Brooks

“Marguritaville” - Jimmy the Buffman Buffett

“Oye Coma Va” - Carlos Santana

“All My Rowdy Friends . . .” or the “Monday Night Football Theme” - the very rowdy Hank Williams Jr.

other potentials:

“Gin and Juice” - Snoop Doggy Dog

“California Love” - Dr. Dre with Tupac

“Girls, Girls, Girls” - Motley Crue

and if you _actually_ have girls there,

“Why Don’t We Get Drunk and Screw” - Buffman again

So many song threads!

When you say bachelor party, I know you aren’t from Australia - we call them buck shows here.

If you were in Australia, the perfect song for your party is currently getting lots of airplay on the radio. Unfortunately it’s done by a local stand up comedian so it probably won’t be released outside of Oz. It’s called “Bloke” and it uses the same tune as the song that goes “I’m a bithc, I’m a mother…” etyc. For the life of me I can’t remember the name of the woman who sang it.

The chorus of “Bloke”:

- 

I’m a bloke, I’m an Ocker, And I really like your knockers  
I’m a labourer by day, I piss up all my pay  
Watching footy on TV, Just feed me more VB  
Just bring me beer and get my smokes and go away

I’m a bloke, I’m a yobbo, and my best mate’s name is Robbo  
Winfield’s my cigarette, I dress in flannellette  
A singlet that is blue, throw in a few tattoos  
You know you wouldn’t want me any other way"

Note: VB is Victoria Bitter beer - popular amongst working class men; as are Winfield cigartettes, which were once advertised by Paul Hogan - Mr Crocodile Dundee before he got famous.

How could I forget Joe Walsh’s ILBT’s ?! Ball and Chain, another fine choice. I’ll have to look into Black Velvet…  
As for the poster from Oz, I think the “yobbo” reference might fall a little flat here in the states! Many fine suggestions here, any others?
