I'm Ain't Drunk, I'm Just Drinkin' : songs of excess and then some

[Charger]

#3

Here's a song about the greatest beer in the world! And if any beer deserves a song it's most certainly the black stuff. So here's WOLFSBANE with their anthem BLACK LAGOON!

[Vyn]

Here is my number three: Streams of Whiskey by The Pogues.

[Zzzptm]

Speaking of the intersection of punk and hard rock... YouTube suggestions reminded me of this hot little cooker:

Thee Trash Brats - "Must Be the Cocaine"

One of the best singalong choruses, ever. "Must be the coooooooooooooo-caine!"

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Pick number 3, and one of, if not THE bad boy of rock...

Ozzy Osbourne - No Bone Movies

This is a fun song about watching porn, it's not a classic track, but it is quite good.

#4


Here's a song about a bar and the reasons people go into it.

This is SAVATAGE telling the story of SKRAGGY's TOMB!

[Vyn]

Buckcherry arrives as my number 4 with Lit Up.

I think it's a song about cocaine. That he loves. A lot.

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Pick number 4...

Motorhead - (We Are) The Road Crew

[Vyn]

Great Motorhead tune - a fitting description of what was no doubt a vortex of swirling, drug and booze-fueled chaos when they toured.

Number 5 from me is a touching tribute to Vodka, performed by those roguish rascals Korpiklaani:

"Drinking is good for you!"

[Charger]

Hahah! Only a finnish band could do a tribute song to vodka...well and the russians ofcourse!


My number 5 is about the events after a rowdy night out with too much booze and getting too intimate with a woman other than your wife.

This is MEGADETH about to WAKE UP DEAD!

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

For my pick number 5 and we're back to the Spanish Train and Other Stories album...

Chris de Burgh - Patricia the Stripper

This one harkens back to the good ol' days!!

[Vyn]

Had to do it.

Number 6.

Have a Drink on Me - AC/DC

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Pick Six

The Damned - Smash It Up (Parts 1 & 2)

It's only really part 2 which is relevant, the first part is a gentle instrumental!! I really loved this when it first came out, I still like it today but the initial surprise has long since faded.

[Zzzptm]

Great tunes, all of 'em.

Now here's two more: First is Rory Gallagher doing "Too Much Alcohol"

It's about a situation in which one has, um... too much alcohol. The plot of the song is in the title...

And then, because the other tunes reminded me of it, one from Roy Harper, "Advertisement"

It's from Harper's mid-80s effort with Jimmy Page that DEFINITELY has 80s production values all over it, but this song has always stuck out to me with its chorus, "I'm really stoned / Really stoned / Permanently out my bone / I'm really stoned"

[Charger]

For my 6th I'm gonna kick out a MOTÖRHEAD tune as well...This is one called BORN TO RAISE HELL!

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Pick number 7

The Stranglers - Go Buddy Go

The only song by them that really fits the bill, I thought there would be more. But if they only have the 1 then this is a good one, about partying and having a good time. Also showcases Dave Greenfield's great keyboard skills.
