Drinking Songs

[Samwise]

So as is well known, we here in the US of eh(?) don't really have any sweet drinking songs. I know that you European cats have some awesome ones, so please, enlighten me. I need something to belt out the next time I'm at the local bar or carousing with friends. (Also, off the OFF TOPIC topic, I just won a shiny new high elf dragon off e-bay, quake in fear you undead scum, I know my VC will be when I lend my Elves to my buddy to get a game going.)

 

[Truly Dead 349]

well often one heard amongst me and a few mates is "i would do anything for love", not sure if thats what the song title is though.

the best ive had is when me and a mate went skipping, arm in arm, singing something i cant remember, down the middle of a busy road (for some reason its the only thing i remember that night )

That band IS drinking songs for me. Pirate ones at that.

Drinking drinking drinking, drinking till im drunk.
Standing up, falling down, getting in a fight.
Punching someones lights out, falling on the floor.
Waking up next morning, and getting drunk some more!


Cookies and milk to people who recognise that song.

BIER EN TIETEN, TRA LALALALALA
BIER EN TIETEN, TRALALALALA
BIER EN TIETEN, TRA LALALALALA
BIER EN TIETEN, TRALALALALA

LOL:lol:
i'm not going to translate it for you, just search BIER on google and then TIETEN (not when you're parents/girlfriend/wive are/is around though)

I'll check my student codex and see if there's any good English ones in there.

Edit: Found some:
- Clementine: Really fun to sing and it's rather simple. Not really about drinking, but nevertheless that's what you do when you sing this.
- Loch Lomon: See Clementine
- Filia Pastoris: In latin, but nevertheless very easy to sing.
- What shall we do with the drunken sailor: I'm surprised nobody mentioned that one yet.

Cheers, WOlfie

When we're drunk we just hurl little "fanta-filled f*ckers" at a wall going "Ei dil ei dil ei" over and over lol

 

[The Dark Lord Mr Fluffy]

Of the ever popular noise of someone blowing chunks after they played "Drink the Beer" a bit too much

 

[Samwise]

Heh, thanks guys. I'll be sure to put of these to good use.

 

[Grish]

I'm fond of the Dropkick Murphies for some of their drinking songs. "Caught in a Jar" has a catchy beat perfect for drinking to.

 

[benccowan]

personaly the perfect song depends on the situation it can vary from the soppiest love song (sang terribaly out of tune with more of a patriotic type of passion in thier voices than the passion of love) to the most violent filth that ever crossd a mothers childs lips, for instance i remmember me and my friends stumbling down a street belting out a song thanks to an ipod with the biggest pair of connectable speakers ive ever seen blaring out the soppy love song from the titanic movie. and the comlete opposite where we got abit rowdy and sang a song that would surely get me kicked of this site if i repeated it

 

[Aeschere]

Blegh, you guys all suck. You missed the best drinking song ever

Korpiklaani - beer beer (really search it on youtube)

Wooden Pints from the same band would do as well.

 

[Kaptain Von]

Absolutely anything by Flogging Molly, especially (unsurprisingly) the Irish Drinking Song. It's very simple: it goes like this.

Oh, I drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and fight,
I drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and fight,
And if I see a pretty girl I'll sleep with 'er tonight,
I drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and fight!

Rumours about that it has verses. I want a stop put to those right here.

 

[Aeschere]

another great song:

adam sandler's beer song. the lego version.

Korpiklanni is awesome. Finnish drunken humpaa metal. Try the songs "Beer Beer" (as mentioned ), "Let's Drink" or "Journeyman". I had really fun dancing to Journeyman once, heee heh.

 

[Raziel]

A good one for Irish drinking customs is the Tommy Tiernan Live DvD. Unbelievably funny, but you'd have to be Irish to get most of it.

 

[DeMysteriis]

Any fast folk metal comes under "drinking song". Finntroll is similar to Korpiklaani, Ensiferum too.

 

[Bloodwolf]

One I'm paticularly fond of is "F*ck You I'm Drunk". It might be by Flogging Molly, I'm not sure.

"In Taberna Quando Sumus" is great if you like medieval Italian drinking songs...

 

[Vasquez]

Well... Molly Malone seems to be what I'm singing mostly when I'm om my way home from the pub with my fiancé But Flogging Molly's Drunken Lullabies is also a great drinking song! And some years ago Oppi Fjellet by Storm was also a "hit" in that genre

 

[VON_KRUG]

Anything by the POUGES...

 

[adeadboy]

Spirt of the West : Home for a rest. Best drinkin song ever!!!
