What do you sing when you're drunk?
I'm quite fond of "You Can't Always Get What You Want" by the Stones, "Day-O" by Harry Belafonte, and "Terminal Preppie" by the Dead Kennedys. How about you?

1. Lydia the Tattooed Lady, I'm afraid
It's just that it's so much fun to sing when you're drunk.
The Banana Boat song is an excellent choice, though. I must've sung that drunk at some time or other.
When I'm really drunk, I recite Coleridge's Kublai Kahn in the manner of Ralph Richardson. It always sounds dead on to me.

3. "Those Were The Days"
Only I kind of get stuck in a da-da-da-DA-da-da loop which explains why there's a list of bars where I'm not welcome.

4. The last time I was drunk was more than twenty years ago...
And I don't think I did any singing, but maybe, quien sabe?

7. sadly, my drunk singing days are over
But I always sang "Gotta Get A Fake ID" which is a ditty from an old Dr. Demento compilation.

"No beer, no booze, I'm doomed to lose..."

8. I don't get drunk anymore
But when I did, I never sang, just got a bit rude. Now, I just have a glass or two and it's pretty uneventful. I did, however, burst into singing "The Star Spangled Banner" while under nitrous at the oral surgeon's when I had my wisdom teeth removed at 17.
I sing sober. In the car, to my kids, in the shower.

9. Kevin Berry
In Mountjoy jail one Monday morning
High upon the gallows tree
Kevin Barry gave his young life
For the cause of liberty
But a lad of eighteen summers
Yet no one can deny
As he walked to death that morning
He proudly held his head on high

10. Somebody was singing that song to me just the other night.
Sounded like a combination between a tenor and sheep being molested. LOL. Now, who was that???? Scratching head.

13. Our Sergeant Major

Our Sergeant Major jumped from forty thousand feet.
Our Sergeant Major jumped from forty thousand feet.
Our Sergeant Major jumped from forty thousand feet.
...and he ain't gonna jump no more.

They were only playing leapfrog.
They were only playing leapfrog.
They were only playing leapfrog.
...and he ain't gonna jump no more.

Our Sergeant Major jumped the quartermaster's wife.
...


You can probably imagine the rest.
