What is the all-time best ever drinking song? I want to see lyrics in the answers.
Yesterday's Winners: To explain my rationale a bit, for Nick at least, Soccer is, always has been, and probably always will be my favorite sport, thus making it pretty much an automatic win, and that's why I excluded it. A nod for honorable mention though, just because you brought up the 2006 World Cup and Pippo. O-Train, nobody's in Cahoots, but you are definitely slumping. Taking cheapshots at Cardamone though is always a good way to get back on your game. Rugby? I actually find Rugby terribly boring and I can't sit through an entire Rugby match. You might have had a chance with Ausie-rules Football, because it's like Rugby except for fun and interesting to watch. The rationale behind the winners might seem a little counter-intuitive after I just called rugby boring, but I'm choosing the cricketers. That is a fun sport to watch, plus, they take tea time. How many other sports have a built in break for tea time?
Becca:
Cricket! Millions of foreigners can't be wrong! Wickets, bowlers, pitches...it's all too confusing and cool for Americans to embrace.
Matty:
Cricket, because it lasts forever and we invented a version which can be played in the basement.

I'm boycotting. I just can't make you happy!!! Rugby is amazing, especially in the UK. I became addicted to it when I dated a rugby player in high school. Cricket sucks. It lasts for like 4 days! WTF? Ray, why do you hate me these days?
Oh and:
Just a small town girl
Living in a lonely world
She took the midnight train
Going anywhere
Just a city boy
born and raised in south detroit
He took the midnight train going anywhere
.....
Don't stop
Believing
Hold on to the feeling
*That's the only drinking song I'll ever need.
Face down in the gutter won't admit defeat
though his clothes are soiled and black
he's a big strong man with a child's mind
don'tcha take his booze away, hey!
he's been at it for years drinkin balls and beers he's a hero to most he meets
but inside he cries, black swollen eyes
this man he sheds no tears
now his wife and kids sing a different tune as they worry bout their daddy dying
but this arrogant fool breaks every rule, it'll be nothin but pride that kills him
could he listen, no he won't, that's all she wrote,
he'll be dead before the daylight shines
but the thoughts and prayers (of a million strong)
might keep this fool from dyin
-Dropkick Murphys "Barroom Hero"
I mean, can this really be a song by anyone but a band with Irish heritage? There are songs idiots, girls and fratboys drink to *cough*Journey*cough*, and then there are drinking songs, songs where you can smell the whiskey and beer out the speakers. Songs that make you grab the guy next to you and either punch him in the mouth or stand arm and arm and belt out some fighting tunes.
"The Barley Mow" is a traditional Irish drinking song where the sole purpose of the song is to finish an entire pint. During the song, after the line "good luck to the barley mow" everyone shouts "Good luck!" and takes a sip. The song deals with ancient measures of alcohol and people and as each is added on, the chorus gets longer and longer.
First Verse:
Here's good luck to the quart pot
Good luck to the Barley Mow ("Good luck!" take a sip)
Jolly good luck to the quart pot
Good luck to the Barley Mow
Chorus:
Oh the quart pot, pint pot, half a pint, gill pot, half a gill, quarter gill, nipperkin and the brown bowl
Here's good luck, good luck, to the barley mow
Second Verse:
Now here's good luck to the half gallon
Good luck to the Barley Mow'
Jolly good luck to the half gallon
Good luck to the Barley Mow'
Chorus (now one phrase longer):
"Here's the half gallon, quart pot, pint pot, half a pint, gill pot, half a gill, quarter gill, nipperkin and the brown bowl
Here's good luck, good luck, good luck to the barley mow "
The following are all added through the course of the song: gallon, half barrel, barrel, landlord, barmaid, drayer, bookie, brewer and company, with some variation. "Company" signifies the last verse and time to finish your pint if you haven't already.
