Friends in Low Places by Garth Brooks.
Drinking and music go hand in hand.
Its like you are at your place and you pop in your Elton John’s Greatest Hits CD and you are one with your world. “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” is so loud the walls are shaking. For seemingly inexplicable reasons, you pick up a speaker and hurl it off towards a wall which makes a large hole. Of course you stand there in self-righteous indignation, angered that the speaker and God had the audacity to make a hole in your wall – “I’ll show you a HOLE motherfucker!!” This of course warrants a trip to the kitchen where you rummage through pots and pans until something suitable for hacking through drywall is in hand. Two minutes later you lay on the floor with a mangled frying pan, bloodied, winded, and covered in dust and debris. You tell yourself that Joe Walsh was a big pussy and then quietly pass out.
Days later you realize that life is good because you have succesfully hung drywall and you now own a Dewalt cordless power drill.
Yes, drinking and music go hand in hand.
Now this is my kind of topic!
Country Music Television recently put together a two-hour special on this very topic aptly titled “The 40 Best Drinkin’ Songs.” Garth’s “Friends in Low Places” was number ranked #1.
Now for me, the story is a bit different. I like more obscure, hard-core country music. The all-time best, self-loathing, whiskey-drinkin’ CD is Hank Williams III “Lovesick, Broke and Driftin’.” It’s one of the best country CD’s ever put together. Every song is a drinkin’ song. If you’re drinkin’ to party, “Mississippi Mud,” can’t be beat. If you’re drinkin’ to drown your self-pity, ever other song works well. Check it out.
10 Rounds With Jose Cuervo; The Drinkin’ Bone; Friends in Low Places; Danger Zone; most popular 80s songs.
May seem odd, but it is a Spring Break anthem of my buddies and I: Come Sail Away- Styx.
Something about drinking and singing Come Sail Away just makes me really happy.
People Under The Stairs - “Yehaw Partystyles”
Saturday Night’s Alright For Fightin’ Nickelback/Kidrock
Toby Keith and Willie Nelson- Beer for my Horses, Aaron Tippin’ - A Little Dust on the Bottle. Just about anything by the Irish Rovers is good too, such as A Pub with no Beer. Although not really a song, Rodney Carrington’s Titties and Beer is pretty good.
Shit, how could I forget about the Devil went Down to Georgia by the Charlie Daniel’s Band, and Steve Earle’s Essential Steve Earle cd, most notably Copperhead Road.
Lotta country fans here!
Say it ain’t so-Weezer
Irish Drinking Song-Less than jake

Anything by Hank Williams Jr. also You dont have to call me darlen, darlen that song. Im gonna knock the hell right out of you. Lynard Skynard
For serious drinking, Uncle Tupelo’s “Moonshiner.” For getting rowdy, all of Social Distortion’s “Live at the Roxy.” Of course, I don’t drink all that much anymore.
“Home for a rest” - Spirit of the west
Okay, I won’t continue a rant about my rsspect for Hank Williams III anymore, but I just had to post a few lines from one of his self-loathing drinkin’ songs to give you guys an idea of what I’m talking about:
“Livin’ lonely is the life that I’ve been livin’
I got drunk, the day my Pa went to prison
And when my Mama died, I just didn’t care about livin’
So I drank myself blind, just tryin’ to find a good reason.”
Damn, that’s heavy. His grandaddy would be proud.
Steele hit it right on spirit of the west is great for drinkin.

German Soilders
Sung to the tune of When Johnny Comes Marching Home:
The German soldiers crossed the Rhine. Taboo, taboo
The German soldiers crossed the Rhine. Taboo, taboo
The German soldiers crossed, the raped the women and drank the wine
Taboo, taboo, twally twally taboo.
They came upon a wayside inn. Taboo, taboo
They came upon a wayside inn. Taboo, taboo
They came upon a wayside inn, the dirty cocksuckers just walked right in.
Taboo, taboo, twally twally taboo
(fill in your own taboo’s)
The landlord had a daugher fair.
The landlord had a daughter fair.
The landloard had a daughter fair with lilly white tits and golden hair.
Taboo, taboo, twally twally taboo.
They laid her on a feather bed…
They laid her on a feather bed…
They laid her on a feather bed and fucked and fucked 'till she was dead.
Taboo, taboo, twally twally taboo.
The landlord he was in a stew…
The landlord he was in a stew…
The landlord he was in a stew so they rolled him over and fucked him too.
Taboo, taboo, twally twally taboo.
The German soldiers went to hell…
The German soldiers went to hell…
The German soldiers went to hell the fucked the devil, his wife as well.
Taboo, taboo, twally twally taboo.
(slow down now and sing all heartfelt)
I wish I were a German soldier…
I wish I were a German soldier…
And if I were a German soldier I’d fuck and fuck and screw and screw.
Taboo, taboo, twally twally taboo.
It’s an old college song a bunch of us would sit around an sing while we were drinking. I’ve got some other dirty songs too, but they mostly involve inside jokes.
Willie Nelson–Whiskey River Take My Mind
