Songs that say "drink" in them

[Heather07438]

A song about drinking, and not the alcohol kind.

Fantastic song! Fits well with all the class discussions going on these boards lately.

From the lyrics I suspect some drinking has happened

I’ll Drink To You - Duke Jupiter

Duke Jupiter was a band from Rochester, NY. They played local venues in the Rochester/Western NY and Central NY areas, where they were very popular in the early 80’s. Never made it big nationally, although this song/video was played on MTV in its early years, and will always bring me back to my college days and all my friends from that place and time.

From the lyrics I suspect some drinking has happened

That came on my Pandora the other day, always love the opening. When i was little,
"I live in hotels, tear out the walls
I have accountants pay for it all"
sounded like, 'I have a conscience pay for it all'.
I was 8yo, what did i know? Also thought Toto was singing "I guess it rains down in Africa."

You just made me remember that my mother in law apparently always heard the main lyric of Bad Moon Rising as "There's a bathroom on the right" Whenever the hubs and I hear it we sing it that way now.

Honky Cat - Elton John

You better get back, honky cat
Living in the city ain't where it's at
It's like trying to find gold in a silver mine
It's like trying to drink whiskey from a bottle of wine

 

[AppleDumpling]

Just not familiar with most of these country songs...

Another from Sir Elton:
Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting

Well, they're packed pretty tight
in here tonight
I'm looking for a dolly who'll see me right
I may use a little muscle to get what I need
I may sink a little drink and shout out,
"She's with me!"
A couple of the sounds that I really like
Are the sounds of a switchblade
and a motorbike
I'm a juvenile product of the working class
Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass

 

[Kaleidodad]

When the tequila runs out, we'll be drinking champagne...

 

[Kaleidodad]

...
Drinkin' coffee black as iron
And I couldn't be much higher
Without fallin' out of my chair
I've been so numb for so many years
...

The Engineer's Hymn:
We are, we are, we are, we are, we are the Engineers,
We can, we can, we can, we can demolish forty beers.
Drink rum, drink rum, drink rum, drink rum, so come along with us,
For we don't give a damn for any damn man, who don't give a damn for us.

I don't know if this counts, but Spirit of the West, "Home For a Rest"
You have to excuse me I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a month, I've been drunk since I left

 

[Praying Colonel]

Sorry for listing a 2nd song, but the ghost of my old Command Master Chief would haunt me if I didn't add Anchors Aweigh:

Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh.
Farewell to college joys, we sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay.
Through our last night on shore, drink to the foam,
Until we meet once more. Here's wishing you a happy voyage home.

Haaa, I thought I was the only one to know this song, I heard it when it first come out while in Vegas, and just fell in love with the song

The first time I heard S.O.B., I had to pull over and call my husband and tell him to find it because it was SO CATCHY!! Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats have other good songs but that is THE best.

As for me, this is the only song I could think of that hasn't already been mentioned.

Last one......maybe

Sitting in Lonnie's house with Nile, Marty, and Patty as they brought out and used all the bong paraphernalia that made me a paranoid horror (total must stay in control freak here) to use. Still, the music sounded good without any stimulants. Those were good days and people in my life.

 

[Kitty 34]

Absolutely love the second song....and now have it stuck in me head!!!

Aw Naw - Chris Young

Yeah, I think I'm gonna leave
I just had that one drink

Lola - The Kinks

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne
and it tastes just like Coca Cola
C-O-L-A cola

She walked up to me
and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name
and in a dark brown voice she said, "Lola"
L-O-L-A Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
