Oooooh, David, you're like magic. Thank you! Whichever is easiest for you (and if you do end up buying it, let me know and I'll send you a check, of course).
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
SA! You're in London now! I might be sending you email about a cd I'm looking for, and that I would cheerfully send you money via PayPal for.
No problem. Just let me know. In fact, I might know about it already.
We're having our 5th annual St. Patrick's party in March. There's a huge parade up the street from us and we're pretty much stuck here for the day, so we started inviting people over and now it's a huge thing. Anyway, now that we're on year 5, I want to do it up right. Invitations (well postcards with maps and the rules), supplies and a playlist with some good drinking songs.
I have this so far:
The Business- Guiness Boys
Mojo Nixon- Gin Guzzlin' Frenzy
The Pogues- Streams of Whiskey
Stuffy Shmitt-Goodnight Irene (I wanted the Habitual Sex Offenders version, but can't find it anywhere)
Dropkick Murphys- Kiss Me I'm !#**@faced!
Lowest of the Low- Letter from Bilbao
Any suggestions?
The Amps - Empty Glasses
Atomic Cocktail - Slim Gaillard
Thin Lizzy - "Whiskey in the Jar" (or is that not really about whiskey?)
U2 - "Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World" (about staggering home drunk)
Dead Kennedys - "Too Drunk to Fuck"
...and if you're after a more tasteful version there's a lounge-y cover on the "Nouvelle Vague" album.
Tom Waits: The Piano Has been Drinking and Bad Liver and a Broken Heart
Teenage Fanclub: Alcoholiday (okay, it's not much of a drinking song, but it has a great title. )
Vic Chesnutt: Drunk
Maybe a little too obvious, but 'Alcohol' by Barenaked Ladies?
