All the good ones I know are in German.

Ein Prosit
In Munchen steht ein Hobrauhaus
Trink Trink Bruderlein Trink

Just a few.
 
O M G

all the above answers are correct!

I'm listening to Social Distortion, thinking about the Dropkicks show I'm gonna go to...brewing Orfy's Hobgoblin clone!
 
Little known facts:

The melody for the Star Spangled Banner was lifted from the theme song of a "social club." Francis Scott Key merely changed the lyrics.

The melody for "The Blue Danube" was also a drinking song. Strauss just arranged it for an orchestra. I heard a recording of this song in it's original form. It was in German, but I imagine the translation is something like this:

"We're all drinking beer"
"F))k yes, f))k yes!"

The Doors, LA Woman. Roadhouse Blues and Alabama Song
The Replacements, Here Comes A Regular
Tom Waits

And, for late in the set when you're over the top, find Danny Boy by whoever. It's an old Irish song that'll have you in tears.
 
the_Bean *loves* singing "The Wild Rover" (the Pogues version). Does't get much better than that.

She also loves Jerry Reed's "East Bound and Down"; do songs about bootlegging count? Gotta love a little girl who loves ballet and Burt Reynolds.
 
I really don't like country music but when drinking I want to hear "You never even called my by my name" by David Allen Coe
 
I don't like country music, but how can you not sing along to this when you're drunk???

Then of course there's Buffett for us Parrotheads:

"Titties & Beer" by Frank Zappa
"Fat Bottom Girl" by Queen
"Mas Tequila!" by Sammy Hagar
"Squeezebox" by The Who
"ILBT" (I Like Big Tits) by Joe Walsh
"Radar Love" by Golden Earring
"Black Water" by The Doobie Brothers
It's not just songs about drinking, it's also songs that are fun to sing while drinking. Regards, GF.
 
I would put forth that the best drinking songs are those that are simple and everybody knows the lyrics, or at least the chorus.

e.g. Louie Louie
 
Alot of Metal genres seem to take inspiration on binge beer drinking, namely Thrash Metal and Folk Metal. While the first one might be a little too hard on the ears for most, the latter is relatively accessible. Heres some examples.

Thrash Metal: Tankard, Drunkard, Alcoholocaust, Gama bomb.

Folk: Korpilaani, Ensiferum.

I am usually pretty gone when I listen to Buffet. Used to listen a ton on the boat, maybe I'll dig out the cds.

Good thread!.

The Star Spangled Banner (The music, anyway) was written specifically as a drinking song for a London club.

Get totally legless and sing the national anthem and you are just singing it in the way composer intended. :)
 
My father used to sing this one all the time. Its called Scotch and Soda and it was done by the Kingston Trio. This is the lead singer Bob Shane singing it a couple of years ago. The song starts half way through.

In Heaven there is no beer
That's why we drink it here
And when we're all gone from here
Our friends will be drinking all the beer.

In Heaven there is no wine
So we drink till we feel fine
And when we leave this all behind
Our friends will be drinking all the wine.

In Heaven there is no fear
So we worry too much here
And we drink ourselves full of beer
To help us when we deal with the fear.

In Heaven there are no drugs
That's why we hang with thugs
And when the Lord pulls the plug
All the thugs will still be selling drugs, yeah.

Thugs and drugs
Beer...

In Heaven there is no sex
So let's do that next
And when our muscles no longer flex
Someone else will be having sex.

In Heaven there are no wars
Or cars, or movie stars
And when we no longer are
The world will probably still be having wars.

What the heck! Yeah!

Sex and war,
Bars and cars.
Drugs, thugs,
And delicious food

Although I never played rugby, the team was nice enough to include me in some after-match parties. Here's one that I remember vividly.
