Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

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?

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

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)

Roguish Laird

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.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Maybe a little too obvious, but 'Alcohol' by Barenaked Ladies?

Awesome.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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
