Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
No No, then?
No. No No.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Aw you guys, thanks.
I put the JLH version of 1B, 1S & 1B. I have no idea how I left off "Why Don't We Get Drunk And Screw" I found a few Flogging Molly that I like. 2 Versions of Whiskey in the Jar. Several Beer songs.
I will try to post a list when I get all the songs down and weed them out. I'm not going to the store to get cds- I'll likely just use iTunes (except for the Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys, which I may buy, take what I need and then donate to FE. They seem right up his alley).
Also, if I have a burner on the new Mac by then, I'll burn some for the F2F

How about Leonard Cohen's "Closing Time?"

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine
I love "One for My Baby" (put the Sinatra version on my Buffistamix) and "Here Comes a Regular" but they're both real bummers. Not ideal party songs. If that doesn't matter there are a bunch of George Jones and Charlie Rich drinking -- or more accurately "I'm a drunk" -- songs that are really great. For more upbeat drinking songs, besides what's been recommended already (yay, Mojo! yay, Los Lobos!), I also suggest:
1) "Cocktails for Two," Spike Jones -- Prohibition is over, let's get loaded! Sung by the great Carl Grayson. In some secluded rendezvous [WHOOOPPPEEEE!!!]... And that's my favorite City slicker, Red Ingle, coughing up a lung in response to the lines, As we enjoy a cigarette/To some exquisite chansonette.
2) "White Lightnin'," George Jones -- Speaking of city slickers...
Well a city slicker came and he said "I'm tough"
I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff
He took one sweet slug and drank it right down
And I heard him moaning as he hit the ground
"Mighty, mighty pleasin, your pappy's corn squeezin'"
Wheeew . . . white lightnin'
3) "Let's Go Get Stoned," Ray Charles -- About drinking, not smoking. Written by Ashford & Simpson before they secured their spot in history with the Marvin & Tammi duets.
