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

[Zzzptm]

One too many, three sheets to the wind, spaced out, smokin' in the boys' room, and like I said the last time - it won't happen again! These are songs about, and I quote:

Rowdiness (Drunkeness, anarchy, bad behaviour, partying and such like)

Here's the song from 1954 that lends a lyric to the title of this thread, to inspire one and all:

Lonnie "The Cat" - I Ain't Drunk

 

[Charger]

Hmmm....I think I'll need to really think about this one...not sure how many I can come up with!

Hmmm....I think I'll need to really think about this one...not sure how many I can come up with!

AC/DC should have a few that fit this bill.

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

I need to get a list together, but it should be quite easy. I'll try and stick to just 1 song by the Macc Lads!

To add to the AC/DC suggestion I suspect Motorhead have a few too!

[Zzzptm]

And there are LOTS from the Golden Age of Rock and Roll... like Louis Jordan's "Saturday Night Fish Fry", a classic.

Also, Jordan gave us "What's the Use of Getting Sober (When You're Gonna Get Drunk Again)"

I *might* be posting more than 10 to this thread.

I'll kick things off with a tune with an old russian vibe...

This is BLACKMORE's NIGHT having a TOAST TO TOMORROW!

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Pick number 1 and the first song that came to mind...

Thunder - An Englishman on Holiday

A 1980s reputation that surely the Brits don't deserve anynore!

Off Thunders 1990 album Backstreet Symphony

[Vyn]

My first offering: Alcohol by Tankard!

[Zzzptm]

Deep Purple - "Almost Human"

Great song about being "crazy, on fire and naked... Just as Nature intended..." 

[Charger]

^^
That one didn't even cross my mind! Great tune though!


In anticipation of the new Remix I'm going with a Black Sabbath tune that is about getting rowdy with someone elses racing car after few too many shots of Tequila.

[Vyn]

Great song - can't believe it didn't even cross my mind!

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Sabbath didn't even cross my mind, but yes the perfect choice there, well done sir!

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Pick number 2

The Macc Lads - The Macc Lads Party

Not actually a live recording, just the studio version synced with a live show.

I can't see this being the only one from the guys from Macclesfield, they have a shed load of songs to choose from!

[Vyn]

Municipal Waste tells us about Beer Pressure!

[Zzzptm]

These are fun tracks, yeah!

And two surprises involving Big Ian, I approve!

This is a track done by the Flamin' Groovies first and then The Dictators later on, I prefer The Dictators' version of the two, since there's a maraca line in the FG version that keeps sending me up the wall.

While not a celebratory song, it *is* about dealing with the consequences of excess and then caving in to get "one more shot". Hence the title, "Slow Death". You can hear how similar The Dictators sound to Blue Oyster Cult at the same time. Well, they had the same producer/influence in Sandy Pearlman. While BOC were more firmly in hard rock, The Dictators had a sound with just enough punk in it to sit right on the line between punk and metal. While it worked for Motorhead, fame eluded The Dictators.
