Songs about drinking.

Recommended Posts

My drinking earlier this evening saw me both puke and lose my spectacles into the St. John's River (though not at the same time). Let's celebrate this occasion by listing songs about drinking. The more depressing, the better:

 

The Replacements - Here Comes a Regular

 

Good song, but it kinda makes me wanna kill myself.

Agalloch - A Desolation Song

 

Here I sit at the fire

Liquor's bitter flames warm my languid soul

Here I drink alone and remember

A graven life, the stain of her memory

In this cup, love's poison

For love is the poison of life

Tip the cup, feed the fire,

And forget about useless hope. . .

 

Lost in the desolation of love

The passions we reap and sow

Lost in the desolation of life

This path that we walk. . .

 

Here's to love, the sickness

The great martyr of the soul

Here's to life, the vice

The great herald of misery

In this cup, spiritus frumenti

For this is the nectar of the spirit

Quench the thirst, drown the sorrow

And forget about cold yesterdays. . .

 

Lost in the desolation of love

The passions we reap and sow

Lost in the desolation of life

This path that we walk. . .

Lost in the desolation of love

The sorrows we reap and sow

Lost in the desolation of life

The path that we walk. . .

 

 

A song so completely miserable, it will make you feel better.

Agalloch - A Desolation Song

 

EDIT: (lyrics)

 

A song so completely miserable, it will make you feel better.

^^ Absolutely fantastic song. This is one band Tack and I share a great mutual admiration for. I fucking love Agalloch with a passion.

 

I've listened to it on many a depressing day/evening.

"Alabama Song" by The Doors

 

Well, show me the way

To the next whiskey bar

Oh, don’t ask why

Oh, don’t ask why

 

Show me the way

To the next whiskey bar

Oh, don’t ask why

Oh, don’t ask why

 

For if we don’t find

The next whiskey bar

I tell you we must die

I tell you we must die

I tell you, I tell you I tell you we must die

 

Oh, moon of alabama

We now must say goodbye

We’ve lost our good old mama

And must have whiskey, oh, you know why

 

Oh, moon of alabama

We now must say goodbye

We’ve lost our good old mama

And must have whiskey, oh, you know why

 

Well, show me the way

To the next little girl

Oh, don’t ask why

Oh, don’t ask why

 

Show me the way

To the next little girl

Oh, don’t ask why oh, don’t ask why

 

For if we don’t find

The next little girl

I tell you we must die

I tell you we must die

I tell you, I tell you I tell you we must die

 

Oh, moon of alabama

We now must say goodbye

We’ve lost our good old mama

And must have whiskey, oh, you know why

DO IT.

 

My Dr. says I'm livin'

on precious borrowed time.

With all the time I've given,

to liquor beer and wine.

The X-Rays of my liver,

look like molded old swss cheese.

My heart pumps blood and alcohol to hardened arterires.

 

LIQOUR BEER AND WINE

is a flashin sign I see.

 

Every damn mornin' I get up it's a-buzzin' down at me.

 

I look up o the heavens for a ray of hope to shine:

and there it is in neon, liqour beer and wine.

Grey Goose - Ying Yang Twins.

 

Tied with Georgia Dome for best song on Me & My Brother. Awesome. Not really depressing unless you look at it like "This is... my life?"

 

Chumbawamba, by the way, are not one hit wonders in the common vernacular. True, they had one hit, but they're quite the idealistic and dedicated politcal band, rendering the most unusual thing about them the fact that they had a pop hit. It's most uncharacteristic. They also maintained a years long and rather lively feud with Prodigy. All around, not worth dismissal.

Lets Get Fucked Up by Start Trouble

 

Let's get fucked up - Gimme a cup I'll drink till I throw up

Let's get fucked up - Alcohol my only friend

 

Licking my lips 'cause I got the craving

Saturday night and I've been saving

My appetite for alcohol

Give my motherfucking peeps a call

Where can we do this? It really dont matter

Let's get drunk, no let's get plastered

I ain't got shit to do in the morning

Fuck the surgeon general's warning

 

Let's get fucked up - Gimme a cup I'll drink till I throw up

Let's get fucked up - Alcohol my only friend

 

Let's get fucked up - Gimme a cup I'll drink till I throw up

Let's get fucked up - Alcohol my only friend

 

Let's do shots of tequilla

Tomorrow there's gonna be spots on the rug

Chug that glass of bourbon sour

I'll be puking in about an hour

B-A-C is 12 point 0 dude

Gimme the keys I'm ready to go

I ain't got shit to do in the morning

Fuck the surgeon general's warning

 

Let's get fucked up - Gimme a cup I'll drink till I throw up

Let's get fucked up - Alcohol my only friend

 

Let's get fucked up - Gimme a cup I'll drink till I throw up

Let's get fucked up - Alcohol my only friend

 

Driving around and I'm far from sober

Looking for a ho that I can bend over

My friends say I'm going nowhere fast

But when I'm fucked up, I need some ass

Boo boo booty call, let me inside some sugar walls

I ain't got shit to do in the morning

Fuck the surgeon general's warning

 

Let's get fucked up - Gimme a cup I'll drink till I throw up

Let's get fucked up - Alcohol my only friend

 

Let's get fucked up - Gimme a cup I'll drink till I throw up

Let's get fucked up - Alcohol my only friend

 

Let's get fucked up - Gimme a cup I'll drink till I throw up

Let's get fucked up - Alcohol my only friend

Ozzy Osbourne - "Suicide Solution"

 

AC/DC - "Have A Drink On Me"

 

...sorta funny that "Suicide Solution" is about former AC/DC frontman Bon Scott, and the album that was written/recorded/released after Bon's death has a song about drinking...

Most of Tankard's discog, especialy "Chemical Invasion"

 

Gang Green - Alcohol

 

We're gonna die when the sun comes up

We'll drink until we drop

My blood's 100 proof

We're gonna stumble, twist and crawl

99 bottles of beer on the wall

I'd rather drink than fuck

 

No doubt about it - I can't live without it

No doubt about it - I can't live without it

Alcohol, Alcohol

 

It is my destiny

You got the beer

We've got the time

You got the coke - Gimme a line

We're gonna die when the sun comes up

We'll drink until we drop

I'd rather drink than fuck

You got the beer

We've got the time

You got the coke - Gimme a line

"One Bourbon One Scotch One Beer"-George Thurogood

 

(short version of the lyrics)

 

So I stop in the local bar you know people,

I go to the bar, I ring my coat, I call the bartender

Said "Look man, come down here", he got down there

So what you want?

 

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

Well I ain't seen my baby since I don't know when,

I've been drinking bourbon, whiskey, scotch and gin

Gonna get high man I'm gonna get loose,

Need me a triple shot of that juice

Gonna get drunk don't you have no fear

I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

 

But I'm sitting now at the bar,

I'm getting drunk, I'm feelin' mellow

I'm drinkin' bourbon, I'm drinkin' scotch, I'm drinkin' beer

Looked down the bar, here come the bartender

I said "Look man, come down here"

So what you want?

 

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

No I ain't seen my baby since the night before last,

Gotta get a drink man I'm gonna get gassed

Gonna get high man I ain't had enough,

Need me a triple shot of that stuff

Gonna get drunk won't you listen right here,

I want one bourbon, one shot and one beer

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

 

Now by this time I'm plenty high,

You know when your mouth a-getting dry you're plenty high

Looked down the bar I say to my bartender

I said "Look man, come down here", he got down there

So what you want this time?

I said "Look man, a-what time is it?"

He said "The clock on the wall say three o'clock

Last call for alcohol, so what you need?"

 

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

No I ain't seen my baby since a nigh' and a week,

Gotta get drunk man till I can't even speak

Gonna get high man listen to me,

One drink ain't enough Jack you better make it three

I wanna get drunk I'm gonna make it real clear,

I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

"Brass Monkey" by the Beastie Boys

 

"Roadhouse Blues" by The Doors

 

"Another Drinkin' Song" by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones

 

"Gin and Juice" by Snoop Dogg

 

 

Here's the lyrics for "Another Drinkin' Song" because it's the most obscure of the three.

 

 

Gonna dive into a dive I've dove before

Gonna haunt a haunt I've haunted

Like a million times or more

A familiar joint

Where getting drunk's the only point

To frequent this place

With any frequency at all

 

Countin' on a remedy

I've counted on before

Goin' with a cure that's never failed me

What you call the disease, I call the remedy

What you're callin' the cause I call the cure

 

Gonna sing a song, a song to you

A song I've sung before

Belt out a ballad that I've belted out

A million times or more

The words I'm gonna scream

And getting drunk's the central theme

To the lyrics, if you can

Make the lyrics out at all

 

Countin' on a remedy

I've counted on before

Goin' with a cure that's never failed me

What you call the disease, I call the remedy

What you're callin' the cause I call the cure

 

Just a devotion to a potion

Okease no applause

A dedication to a medication

A crutch a cure a cause

What I've counted on to pick me up

Has knocked me to my knees

Before I hit the floor once more

I'll call it the disease

Guest P!NK.

Since "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" has been taken up, I offer Ray Charles' "Let's Go Get Stoned":

 

Let's go get stoned

Let's go get stoned

When your baby won't let you in

Got a few pennies, a bottle of gin

Just call your buddy on the telephone and say

Let's go get stoned

Let's go get stoned

Let's go get stoned

 

When you work so hard all the day long

And everything you do seems to go wrong

Just drop by my place on your way home

Let's go get stoned

It ain't no harm

You're takin just a taste

But don't blow your cool

And start messing up the place

It ain't no harm you're faking just a nip

But make sure you don't fall down bust your lip

Let's go get stoned

Let's go get stoned

Since probably no one's heard the song but me, Drink Problem by Apache Indian.

 

(Chorus)

Me a think and wonder but me can't understand

What the drink it a do for we Indian man

Me a think and wonder but me can't understand

What the drink it a do for we Indian man

 

(Verse 1)

Now when me talk this ya no bother worry nor fret

No bother feel say Apache come fe disrespect

But nough mon them a drink and them can't give a damn

Bout the children that a cry and about them woman

And the money that a pass mon from hand to hand

And the job where them have where them have fe work long

So if you have the answer mon would you tell me

Why them can't lef the drink till them get sharbee

 

(Chorus)

Mai sorch thar sorch thar sumugde nay logthee

Why them drink too much and get sharbee

Mai sorch thar sorch thar sumugde nay logthee

Why them drink too much and get sharbee

 

(Verse 2)

Nough mon them a work till all a 7:30

But no wan rush home wan to see the family

Them wan 2 pint and 2 glassee

Then kar pornch-gair and the wife angry

Ca all day she a cook mon make the subjee

And them him start say roti - nay chythee

Just wan more sharb mon fe me belly

Then you have the same mon go to a Indian wedding

And if there is no sharb then a pure talking

That it is disrespect and it is an insult

To have no whisky just juice and coke

Sare-jarne notch-thai but him only wan talk

Sadar time waste hor-gear ca there is no sharb

And then him talk bout the wedding that him love

But o-pie kenthar said him gone to the pub

 

(Chorus)

Mai sorch thar sorch thar sumugde nay logthee

Why them drink too much and get sharbee

Mai sorch thar sorch thar sumugde nay logthee

Why them drink too much and get sharbee

 

(Verse 3)

O whisky nall bacardi them a start drinking

Fai-ken-there gudee mai chlarenee and a start driving

Usee thawnoo thusi-air "O thusee gudee nai chlow"

Uchee bolar kair kenthere "O mai bair shadthow"

Unoo swearair thus yeh fer meri gol mon gair

Rathnoo yar-iae thuva thuv not gair

And me feel so strong when me see what me see

When the drink come bout break up the family

But even so the wifes put up with the drinking

Ca divorce in a we culture is not a popular thing

So respect to the woman fight fe all of we

Ca the family would a split if it wasn't for she

 

(Chorus)

Me a think and wonder but me can't understand

What the drink it a do for we Indian man

Me a think and wonder but me can't understand

What the drink it a do for we Indian man

 

(Verse 4)

Now me done talk this ya one but don't get me wrong

Indian mon them is good so please understand

Its only when them start drink them have a next side

Come like when you watch mon Jekle and Hyde

But now the reason of concern why me feel the anga

Ca the kids them a follow but a start younger

 

(Chorus)

Mai sorch thar sorch thar sumugde nay logthee

Why them drink too much and get sharbee

Mai sorch thar sorch thar sumugde nay logthee

Why them drink too much and get sharbee

 

Me a think and wonder but me can't understand

What the drink it a do for we Indian man

Me a think and wonder but me can't understand

What the drink it a do for we Indian man

 

(Back to verse 1, then chorus to fade)

Though it's more about the hangover, Sunday Morning Coming Down. Johnny or Kris' version will do.

"Jagermeister" - Inkubus Sukkubus

 

The most epic song about my favorite alcohol.

 

"Whiskey in the Jar" - Thin Lizzy

 

The best version of the song.

 

"Kiss Me, I'm Shitfaced" - Dropkick Murphys

 

Actually, the entire Dropkicks discography is probably about drinking.

 

"Drunken Lullabies" - Flogging Molly

 

Such a fun song.
