Drinking Songs..

Old or New from your country.. no matter. Drinking songs are part of the history and as long as beer has around so has been songs. Oldest songs ( carmina burana ) was written in 11th century. Drinking songs also define some of the "drinking" culture country has.

That´s sounds scottish or Irish.. very catchy !

From South Africa - De La Rey by Bok Van Blerk.

Not quite as prolific as a few years back when the song could be heard in many bars and pubs, but the chorus can still be heard quite frequently.

It's a song about the Anglo-Boer War and General De La Rey.
Critics ridiculed it, but I think they were frightened and misunderstood it.
It's a great collective drinking song in the right local settings.

Afrikaans with English subtitles:

The Drunk Scotsman (with lyrics)

Flogging Molly - Rebels of the Sacred Heart.

"Beer" Reel Big Fish



"Kiss Me, I'm #faced" Dropkick Murphy's

Can't help but notice that this gem from George Thorogood & the Delaware Destroyers isn't on this thread........ yet.

Here's few for ya .....

Macc Ladds - they do enough songs about drinking and with enough swearing for me just to say look it up yourself

From The Student Prince - Drink, drink, drink (The drinking song).

Apparently it brought the house down in American theaters during Prohibition.

I'm not sure whether this is an actual drinking song, but it's great to listen to while drinking.


The Pogues - If I Should Fall from Grace with God

I'll not post the lyrics,as they are many,and would break t&c. But by far the funniest,most obscene drinking song I have ever heard that literally had me rofl and yet shocked at the verses....Would be "The North Atlantic Squadron." Ya'll can google that for yourself.

Brings back memories...

This thread is sorely lacking...





CHEERS!
