Oh, and then you can sing them Tom Lehrer's "Irish Ballad":
And to continue the theme, Da Vinci's Notebook's "Another Irish Drinking Song":
Gather 'round ye lads and lassies, set ye for a while,
and harken to me mournful tale about the Emerald Isle.
Let's all raise our glasses high to friends and family gone,
and lift our voices in another Irish drinkin' song.
Consumption took me mother and me father got the pox,
me brother drank the whiskey 'till he wound up in a box.
Me other brother in the troubles met with his demise,
me sister has forever closed her smilin' Irish eyes.
Now everybody's died, so until our tears are cried,
we'll drink and drink and drink and drink and then we'll drink some more.
We'll dance and sing and fight until the early mornin' light,
then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up and then go drinkin' once again.
(And for anyone who's clicked to see the lyrics in full, I apologize in advance for all the nassssty popups.)
And then segue into Moxy Fruvous's "Drinking Song"?
Okay, from Betsy's link in Press.
Tales of the Gold Monkey! I was just talking about that show a week ago. The facade for the hotel is still on Universal's back lot. I rode the tour last week and saw it and was thinking about the show.
And then segue into Moxy Fruvous's "Drinking Song"?
That one's not quite as funny as the others...
[eta: Better make it "Jockey Full of Bourbon" instead.]
[eta again: Which, fine, is a cover, but is also catchy and about alcohol.]
[Speaking of which, "Alcohol" by BNL should be on that list somewhere.]
I know the fishy song (with nonsense syllables - boop boop dittum dattum wadda BOOM before each verse), but I don't know who taught it to me.
I like the killing-you-girlfriend song "Delia's Gone" - "The first time I shot Delia, I shot her in the side. Hate to see her suffer so, so with the second shot she died"
Who thinks that ASH should replace him?
The Tequila Twins gave it to him. They should upload things like "Thong Song" and "Milkshake".
I think they should have uploaded 250 copies of "It's a Small World" and given each one a different title. Then waited to see how long it would take him to figure it out.
That was for real? I thought some Onion-type made that up.Esp. with Cocaine on it. Dude.
My mom told me that when she was pregnant with me my dad used to play that Loggins/Messina with "I'm so in love with you, honey/ even though we ain't got money/" blah blah. for "us"
Which made me cry to think about because we're not speaking.
Growing up there was plainly Mom Music and Dad Music
Mom: Big "Soul Train" fan...Marvin Gaye, Al Green, The Blue Notes,TempsNTops "Hair"
Dad: James Taylor, Tom Waits, folkies galore, Simon &Garfunkel
I think the Beatles were the only band to bridge the gap.
