It’s Old School Friday and I Can Drink To That

December 26th, 2008 by cooper

It’s Old School Fri­day. What bet­ter way to return from a few days of cheer with family and friends then to theme it up with “I Can Drink To That”.

Rea­lity is I’m short out of college where even “The Star Span­gled Ban­ner” is a drin­king song. It’s not likely this is going to be that dif­fi­cult. You name it, someone can drink to it. We all have friends in low pla­ces, even you. You know who I’m tal­king about.

Another Auld Lang Syne” is here because it sounds like a song which someone could sit around drin­king to, on cer­tain occa­sions. It’s also here because I never knew who wrote/sang this song until this eve­ning. I always thought it was Harry Chapin.

Not “Old School” exactly, but it was out when I was in high school so it’s “Old School” to me.
The Donna’s “Take it Off”.

    Slept all dam­med day because of the damn carb intake. It’s not the turkey.

    BTW, I wan­ted to com­ment so badly on that last post, but I think you know I agree. I would say more, but I already sound like a stut­te­ring John.

    Hands down the best drin­king song has got to be “Friends in Low Places.”

    But you’re right, prac­ti­cally any song can be made into a drin­king song with enough ine­bria­tion and the right crowd. In fact, I do believe there was a time where we sha­red a drink to “The Theme to Gilligan’s Isle.” I mean – come on, “Now sit right back and you’ll hear a tale” even sounds like a guy sit­ting around a bar telling a tale while get­ting sloshed to his ears.

    Lis­te­ning to old Jimi Hen­dirx is good when impai­red, Sublime works too. Depends on the mood. Lis­te­ning to sad songs after a few drinks works in a whole other way. Old Irish drin­king songs are nice too.

    I think I could drink to anything but a choir.

    I have a long stan­ding love for Dan Fogel­berg though he can get boring. Not in that song however…

    My favo­rite drin­king song has to be Tom Waits “Wal­tzing Matilda” because it dri­ves peo­ple crazy, or they love it, two reac­tions you want when seriously drinking

    If you’re home with good friends – anything Motown which brings me to “you’re so lucky you’re not in your 20’s during the disco era”.…

    My favo­rite break up drin­king song was “Circle Game” by Tom Rush

    Oh I had a drin­king song for every ocas­sion and I was one of the few who didn’t need AA

    Men­tion of sin­ging Gilligan’s Island took me back to The Phyrst in State College, PA, where the Phyrst Pha­mily takes the stage every Satur­day night and you really do sing along to that song, accom­pa­nied by sound effects and light­ning flashes. Too. Much. Fun. I’ll drink to that.

    Happy New Year!!

    It’s final. Peo­ple can drink to anything.
    I won­der if peo­ple drink more to sad songs than upbeat songs?
    Peo­ple not in college I mean, because like you said even The Star Span­gled Ban­ner is a drin­king song in college..
