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?
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?
"One For My Baby, And One For the Road" - Sinatra
"One For My Baby, And One For the Road" - Sinatra
Awesome.
May be cliche, but what about "Wasn't that a party?" - The (Irish) Rovers.
Didn't The Replacements have a song (or a lyric) called "How Did the Vomit Get On the Ceiling?"?
I'm also fond of "Alcohol" by Beck:
Alcohol leaving me dry
now it is time for pie
taking them as they come
alcohol please give me some
