Can't miss with 'Alabama Song'.
One of my best memories was drinking on the job without the bosses knowing and belting out 'Easy Living' by Uriah Heep with everyone, which was playing on the radio at that moment. Needless to say we didn't get much of the lyrics right. Great care-free times that are sadly no more.

Funny!
I had a boss (when I was 20) that brought a large wash tub to work ( a small manufacturer job I had when I was a kid..
...he was rewarding us freaks (a bunch of long hairs) for a job well done....shut down the line, and filled the tub with sliced lemons and oranges, fruit juice and Sangria Wine. We were very happy that night (the late shift).

Two excellent drinking songs. Best listened to while actually in the audience or when having cranked your soundsystem to the max after having had a "few"
Pogues - "Wild Rover"

Pogues - "If I should Fall from Grace with God"

Dropkick Murphys - The Spicy McHaggis Jig
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZN3weW1 ... ure=relmfu
a few of youtube comments.....
"I am going to name my first born son Spicy McHaggis."
"it's a great name no doubt, but just make sure, he doesn't follow the love tips from this one...."
A few lyrics....
"One night at the pub, a girl caught his eye, as big as a house, just the right size, the broad was humongous, stacked to the hilt, Spicy soon noticed a bulge in his kilt. The piper delivered his best pickup line, thought to himself this beast is all mine, the portly young lady could stand for no more, she grabbed his cajones and went for the
door."
"Didn't understand a f#@kin word of the chorus. but i liked it!"
"And btw, your not drunk enough if you don't understand the lyrics of the chorus!"
"(Comment removed!!)" Ha!
"Im not irish but this is the best song in the world..."
"The 88 who disliked this wished they were Irish and awesome."
